Intro solo (Riff 2) tabbed by Clemens Hofreither


Search and Destroy-Red Hot Chili Peppers (off of the Beavis and Butthead
experience)

Tabbed by Patrick Christman
I saw a request for this song by a friend so I figured it out pretty quick
(10 minutes) and have a pretty close approximation of how to play it.
However, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been known to play some pretty
strange chord shapes so experiment with what I have here. As for the outro
solo, I didn't even really bother so maybe later. The intro solo part is
a rough estimation I didn't really put any effort into it.

Intro solo (Riff 2) tabbed by Clemens Hofreither
Although this is an old song, I still enjoy listening to it and
playing it.
As the original tab only gave a rough outline of the intro solo (riff 2),
I tried to figure it out myself; I think that I have reached quite an
accurate version of it. The only part where I have serious doubts is
the bit reading --7s8h9p8s7--; any corrections are welcome.

I use standard tabbing procedure for the bends feedback and such.

All the notes are correct but I got lazy at the end so find you're own
rythem with it.......

Also If I ever get around to tabbing them out look for "Poetry and Prose"
and "I hate Myself and Want To Die" also from that album.
