This is a transcription of Soundgarden's Fresh Deadly Roses. Its only available on some import my DJ roommate in college had, but it's a very cool song if you can find it (Ultramega OK??? I'm not sure). Very simple guitar, but very cool. The intro and verse are played with a bright, half- distorted guitar sound, letting the chords and intervals ring. Slides and hammerons are denoted by the underscores between notes on the TAB (a la ---9_10---- ). Intro and verse:

  { 2 times       }                        s                  ( 4 times )
1---------------------------------------------9------9---------8-----------
2--5--------5----------4--------4---------------9------9---9-----8---8-----
3----5-5-5----5-5-5------5-5-5-----5-5-5--5_6-----6------6---------5-------
4--------------------------------------------------------------------------
5--------------------------------------------------------------------------
6--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  { heavy vibrato                       }

Kim goes through that pattern a few times, and before the chorus he changes into this nifty little atonal type thing:

Change into chorus:
                                                        h
1--------8--------------8--------------8-----------------------------------
2----8-----8---8----8-----8---8----8-----8---8----8------------------------ 
3------5-----5--------5-----5--------5-----5--------5--5_7-----------------
4--7--------------6--------------7--------------6----------6---------------
5------------------------------------------------------------5-------------
6--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The chorus is played with the Seattle super grunge mud-o-riffic beef sound.

This verse-chorus sequence is repeated twice. Then they go into the bridge, once again in that super-thud distortiom. It's just chords, here's the chart. Bridge: A G A G A G F# G D C D C D C B C / // / / // / / // / / // / / // / / // / / // / / // / Hope you can find this song, or someone can turn you on to it. It's a grunge classic.
