Guitar Tab

This is my attempt to tab parts of Nirvana's "Love Buzz" from the album Bleach.


There is one A# power chord done on the guitar during the song.  I'm not sure, but
if you listen to the bass part there may actually be other chord changes during the
song but this is the only on struck on the guitar:

 A#5  or maybe   A#   (there seem to be variations)
-----			-----
-----			-3---
-3---			-3---
-3---			-3---
-1---			-1---

This bass riff can be approximated in the guitar as:
(I'm assuming normal tuning)

 ~  	   H P
----------------
----------------
----------------
----------------
---------5-6-5--
-6-5-6-7--------

This riff shows up later on a higher octive as an actual guitar riff:

 ~		   H P
----------------
----------------
---------7-8-7--
-8-7-8-8--------
----------------
----------------

I'm using the ~ symbol to indicate vibrato, H to mean Hammer on and P to mean Pull off.
The Hammer / Pull sequence above is done as a quick trill.  These riffs are repeated
together smoothly so that the first note (sustained a bit) serves as the end note of the
riff also, though I didn't write it that way (you get the idea).

There is another very fast descending guitar riff played that is something like this:

	H  P	  H P	   H  P
-10-11-10---8-9-8-------------------
--------------------10-11-10--------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------

I don't think this captures it perfectly, but I think is a series of trills like that.
Anyone have any enhansements or opinions as to whether I'm on the right track?

There's also additional assorted distorted guitaring that I've given up on figuring out.

My name is Joao Luiz Braga and my email is:braga@embratel.net.br

So, lets go... The inicial bass tab is this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------REPEAT THIS----------------------------
---------------4--56-5----THREE TIMES--------------4--5--6-------
---6---x-4--6--------------------THAN--6---x-4--6----------------

In this "x", try slaping the string... :)
NOTE: This -56- isn't the 56 fret!!! :) It is quickly played 5-6!
You can read that as ---4--/6-5--  also... But... may cause doubts...

Than, the guitar comes in with distortion in Bb!!!
Bb: -6-
    -6-
    -7-
    -8-
    -8-
    -6-

Uh, than comes the quick part... How I do this? Something like this:
e--6-6-----------------------
b--------6------------------- VERY FAST!!!!!
g------8---7-----------------
d------------8---------------

After this, Kurt comes with a solo just like the bass solo, but in
the following strings:
-----------------------
-----------------------
--------------6--78-7--
--8---x-6--8-----------
-----------------------
-----------------------
  Repeat this...


Pretty easy... I hope that this tab helped you in any way...
email me for any doubts, corrections or sharing Nirvana stuff!
