Содержание Отзывы читателей См. также Nirvana about_a_.crd From: Christopher Mosher Nirvana "About a Girl" Bleach (SP34a) Copyright 1989 Sub Pop Transcribed by Chris Mosher This is a close approximation of the way I play Nirvana's "About a Girl", which is a close approximation of how Nirvana plays it on their Bleach album. The chords are generally 5's (i.e., no 3rd), not minor or major, except for the open G in the verse (but even that omits the 3rd usually played on the 5th string and has only the 3rd on the 2nd string). The chords played during the chorus are "power chords" in the true sense on the phrase. In the second measure (during "...vantage while."), note that the F#5 is strummed twice and then the strings are muffled with the palm of the picking hand on the second count, during which time there is feedback. This is cool. There are two different forms of the E5 chord played one after the other in the chorus (during "I can't see you"). First is the "open" E5 (022xxx). He then slides up to the alternate E5' at the 7th fret (x799xx). This is really cool. I play the A5 at the 5th fret (577xxx). This is what it sounds like to me on the album, although I know Kurt seems to play an open A (x022xx) often, so it may be that way instead. Also, I think it's easier to play (577xxx). This stuff can all be heard clearly after the lead, when there's no singing over top of it. The first note in the lead is an open E (6th string) held for a full count. There are two slides-up. The first slide, from 7 to 9, is "slow"; play the 7, but don't slide up to 9 until the next beat. The second slide, from 9 up to 12, is "fast"; play the 9 and slide up to the 12 right away during that beat. On the next beat, play the 12 on the 3rd string (letting both notes ring). Play 12 on 4th string and 12 on 3rd string again, letting them ring, and then slide both notes down on the last up-beat in the measure. Just before the lead starts, he turns up the distortion, and seemingly leaves it up during the remainder of the song. I lifted the lyrics from some other messages posted to A.G.T. They're the best I can do; I never could understand what Kurt was saying! ANY CORRECTIONS OR COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Thank you and have fun.

I don't want to offend anyone, but I can't imagine this taking someone more than 2 min to strumm out, unless they don't have the album I guess. Oh well. Have no clue to the lyrics, sorry. There doesn't seem to be any chorus. Song: About A Girl Artist: Nirvana written by Kurt Cobain CRD'er: Peter Jay Salzman psalzman@stars.sfsu.edu cut time <---- E-G back and forth 8 times | drum roll on 4; enter on 5 | | E-G back and forth 8 times | lyrics start on 1 | | back to here C# G# F# 2 times | | E A C 1 time ------------ This loop is done 4 times, then the E-G thing back and forth 8 times while he sings (what I think is) Adieu. The drum queues apply only to the first time the loop is played. Guitar solo is done during the 3rd loop, on the 2nd E-G thing, for the rest of the loop. I'll transcribe the guitar solo on the tab if someone sends me the lyrics, but the solo is based on the Em scale for the E-G thing and then goes into power chords, following the song chords (ie- C# G# F# C# G# F# E A C). Before anyone argues with me whether it's E or Em, I'm 90% sure it's E. The reason for the minor tonality is a pretty ingenious (or lucky?) trick Cobain played with chords. G happens to be the minor 3rd of E. Therefore, even though he plays an E, the tonality of the passsage is minor. I wonder if he was aware of this...

No one knows for sure what they are, anyway. On Bleach, they play this song in standard tuning (EADGBE), but on Unplugged they played it a half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb). Some say the Em is actually an E or an E5. Try 'em all and see what sounds best to you.

I haven't seen this one posted, I'm not sure if it's just so easy that nobody doesn't know it, or what. Anyway, here's Been a Son. Oh yeah...if anyone knows Spank Thru, or the solo for D-7, could you PLEASE post it!? Been A Son Written by Kurt Cobain Tabbed by Gene Azevedo There are two major versions of this song...the fast electric version heard on the Lithium single and Incesticide, and a slower "lamer" as Kurt put it, version which I've heard but can't remember what it was on. I'll post the tab for the faster one since it's better, but you can play the more mellow one on an acoustic guitar playing only the higher pitched strings for the verses, and playing the chorus with the normal tuned power chords rather than the dropped d as I will show. Verses: ^-upstroke if you play this one...all others down E---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------| B---3--3-----------3---(3)--3--------| G---2--2-----------2---(2)--2--------| repeat many times D---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------| A---0--0---3-2-0---0---(0)--0---3-2-0| D---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------| Chorus: E------------------------- B------------------------- G------------------------- Repeat D---5-5--3--X-2--2-------- A---5-5--3--X-2--2--3-2-0- D---5-5--3--X-2--2-------- Solo- There are many ways to play this solo...sometimes Kurt just played the verse guitar part as the solo...but my version of the solo (quite pathetic unless you're playing with some other people to help make more noise!

D-7 is absolutely my favorite song that Nirvana played (I know it's not theirs, but it rules the way they play[ed] it). D-7 as played by Nirvana on the "Hormoaning" EP: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (apparently this song is originally by Greg Sage) Lyrics: verse 1: Straight as an arrow, defect, defect. Not straight, not so straight, reject, reject. Towards anti-social, solo, solo. verse 2: Standing on the stairs, cold cold morning. Ghostly image of fear, mayday, mayday. Gonna leave this region, they'll take me with them. Dimension Seven tuning: standard (although drop D would work very well) slow part (no distortion): E---0--------0--1--------1-- this sequence is played twice before the drums A------2-----------3-------- come in, then twice more with the drums, then D---------2-----------0----- all throughout the first two lines of each G--------------------------- verse. B--------------------------- E--------------------------- E---5-----5-----6-----6-----5-----5-----6--6-------- this is played during A------7--7--7-----8--8--8-----7--7--7--8--8-------- the third line of each D---------7-----------8-----------7-----8--8-------- verse, after which it G--------------------------------------------------- returns to the riff B--------------------------------------------------- above. E--------------------------------------------------- Then there is that pause where the last chord (E) rings out for about four to eight beats,and then Kurt turns the distortion on and doubles the tempo. He uses the following power chord progression: (REALLY FAST--X MEANS MUTED CHORD) E,E,X,X,E,E,E,E,F,F,F,G,G,G,F,F x2 then he repeats verse 1 (screaming of course) use the above chords for the first two lines, and then this for the third line: A,A,X,X,A,A,A,A,A#,A#,A#,C,C,C,A#,A# x2 repeat the first power chord progression twice with no lyrics. scream verse 2 (same chords as verse 1) guitar solo (improvise your own, it's pretty easy) scream verse 1 again repeat first chord progression 8 times more, screaming "dimension seven" in each. Sorry if this is confusing, unconventional, or even wrong. If anyone has any pointers or corrections, let me know.

I've seen these stupid shirts made by someone who wants to make money, the shirts say "Kurt Cobain - Suicide is alright", i dont knw if its right or wrong, everyone has his opinion, but making money out if it IS wrong, I'm sure we all remember Kurt for being a great carismatic artist, and he was a source of inspiriation for some of us. i dont know if you've seen it or not, but Dave Grohl went up two days ago (Sep 10th) to take the MTV award for BEST ALTERNATIVE VIDEO , and said how much he misses Kurt and thinks about him everyday, suicide is NOT ALRIGHT, it hurts, but then...

Recording: 2nd track on the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" CD single. Also known as "Smells Like a Teenage Single". Previously unreleased. Tab: 1.0 by Peter Jay Salzman psalzman@stars.sfsu.edu Beat: Allegro, about 144 bpm. Sound: Not Cobain's standard sound, which is why this tune is interesting. Very distorted with the mids turned up super duper (ie 10) and lows turned up also. A very muddy distortion with lots of harmonics giving it an almost pipe organ sound. A very Marshall sound, but in the OPPOSITE sense of Hendrix who had the treble turned high. Intro: Feedback on 12 fret, 1st string (high E). The following riff is the vamp and verse. For those who want to do it just like the recording, vamp the 2 measures 2 times, then drums enter on the third time. Vocals enter on the fifth repeat.

Hope I don't come back the same. After the chorus is done the 2nd time, go back and play the verse part. The song fades from here while Kurt just sang "even his youth even in his youth even in his youth even in his youth". If you can't fade gracefully (I'm not good at it myself), chop it off at the C. This is my 1st tab. I'm just trying to put back into the net a little bit of what I take. I have 4 urgent requests from everyone: 1) If there are any corrections in the song or lyrics PLEASE write to me and I'll correct it and rerelease the tab. 2) If anyone can even guess at the 1st line in the chorus, please let me know. 3) I'm not objective enough to know if I did a good job. If there's anything I can do to make this more usable, let me know. (ie should I just write out the verse instead of partitioning by chord? Should I write out the whole tab instead of taking short cuts like "repeat 4 times"). No suggestion is too trivial to be seriously considered. 4) What Kurt did was fucked and he's a fucker for doing it, but he brought a lot of good music in the world and deserves to be loved for it.

If you've heard the song, it's pretty easy. The chorus and solo aren't much more difficult. Intro: F E F E Verse: F E F E Hello toilet trained, come on in F E F E Floyd observes my hairy chin F E F E "Sit down in the chair, don't be afraid."

[If you're just playing alone, just play it three time, and mute it more each time until the third time is extremely percussive sounding.] frances_.crd From: ag725@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Rick Scaia) For "Frances Farmer": Again, just a guess... all power chrods on this one. For the chorus, I think it's C#-E-D-Bb. Like this: C# E D Bb I miss the comfort in being sad Then the end of the chorus is (starting on the Bb above): Bb-A-Bb-A-G-F# From ther you can either go back into the verse (muted G#-E-G-E-G wide open Bb) or into the bridge (Bb-D-Bb-D-E a couple times then into the same ending as the chorus). Once again, if you understand what I'm saying, give it a try, and let me know how it sounds. And if you want I'll try to post more clearly what I mean. heart_sh.tab From: C.Watt@cranfield.ac.uk Date: Wed, 08 Jun 1994 09:22:43 EDT To: guitar@nevada.edu Subject: Heart Shaped Box tab - Nirvana 'iya America, 'iya world, I'm Lucy Watt (aged 16) from Clophill, Bedfordshire, England.

First Drop D tuning (where you tune the lowest string down one whole step to D), then tune everything down 1/2 step. So, from low to high, the tuning is Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb Then the intro and verse go like this: Ab5 E5 Db5 ------2----------------------------------------- ----2---2--------3------------0----0----------- --0------------3---3--------0----0---0--------- -------------3----------0----------------------- Ab5 E5 Bb5 ------2----------------------------------------- ----2---2--------3--------4-4--4--------------- --0------------3---3----------0---3-3-----2----- -------------3----------0----------------------- The verse ends with that Bb5 pattern with distortion. Then the chorus is just those chords in the verse but with bent notes mixed in.

I'm nearly positive about most of the above stuff, but I'm not exactly sure about that Bb5 pattern, but that's what that magazine said so I'm goin' with that for now .

They didn't play it the two times I was honored enough to see them, but I heard it on the radio once and couldn't record it in time. Here is the first verse: A-B A D Where do bad folks go when they die? A-B A F# They don't go to heaven where the angels fly. A-B A E Instead they go to hell where they burn and they fry. D - E A B Won't see them again till the fourth of July. Then comes the chorus which I unfortunately don't remember, but it was a very pretty minor type of thing; really very pretty with wistful lyrics. If anyone can post the rest of the song (lyrics, chords, both, etc) please do. I would like to learn this song. If anyone knows the name of this song and where I can find a recording of it please post it or send email- the song is very simple and anyone can pick out the chords. thanks. -peter ##################################################################### I BOYCOTT ANY COMPANY WHO USES MASS ADVERTISING ON THE INTERNET lake_of_.tab From: tmvtzet@cs.vu.nl (Zet van t TM) "Lake of Fire" - Nirvana w/ Meat Puppets From Nirvana's Unplugged session Tab transcription by Mark van 't Zet (tmvtzet@cs.vu.nl) USED CHORDS A x02220 Bb x13331 C5 x355xx D5 x577xx Dm xx0231 Dsus2 xx0230 F5 133xxx Gm 3553xx INTRO/MAIN - Chord names refer to parts of this tab so the second 'GFC' is the same as the first 'GFC' etc. GFC GDC |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- |-3--3------------3-----3--3--------5---5---5-3--------- |-5--5----5-3--3--3-----5--5--x-x-x-5---5---5-3--------- |-5--5----5-3--3--1-----5--5--x-x-x-3---3---3-1--------- |-3--3----3\1--1--------3--3---------------------------- | |------------------------------------------------------- |-----------------------------------5b6r5b6r5-3--------- |-----------------------------------5b6r5b6r5-3--------- |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- GFC DFC |-------------------------------- |-------------------------------- |-O/-------5--5-----5------------ |-/O-------5--5-----5--3--3--5--- |----------3--3-----3--3--3--5--- |----------------------1--1--3--- GFG |-------------------------------- |-------------------------------- |-3---3-------------------------- |-5---5-------5---3---3---5------ |-5---5-------5---3---3---5------ |-3---3-------3---1---1---3------ | |-------------------------------- |-------------------------------- |-------------------------------- |---------------------3---------- |-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-3---1---5------ |-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-------3------ GFG |----- |----- |-O/-- |-/O-- |----- |----- | |----------------------------------------- |----11~-11~-11~-11~-11~-11~\--6~--6~/8~-- |-/10--10~-10~-10~-10~-10~--\5~--5~--/7~-- |----------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------- VERSE 1 - Play main part CHORUS Dm - Bb - Dm - A - Dm - Bb - C - Dm Dsus2 VERSE 2 - Play main part CHORUS VERSE 3 - Play main part, but play both GFG parts twice!

The slow one is something like this e|------------------------------------------------------| b|------------------------------------------------------| g|-----------------8s7----------------------------------| d|-----------6s8h9-----8--------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------| Anybody out there who has figured out the "fast" part ? Or anything else important of the song ? From: ejs@world.std.com (Eric J Schwarzenbach) This is my attempt to tab parts of Nirvana's "Love Buzz" from the album Bleach. I checked before I posted this, and there's another tab of this on Nevada, but I think this makes some improvements, so I'm going to post it anyway. -ejs@world.std,com (Eric Schwarzenbach) 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. The words seem to be something like: Would you believe me when I tell you you are the queen of my heart? Please don't decieve me when I hurt you, This ain't the way it seems. [or maybe] Just say it the way it seems. chorus: Can you feel my love buzz?

Now, I posted an all power chord version of this song not too long ago which is the way the song is played on the album (Nevermind). When you ask for the 'acoustic' version of this song I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the open chord version? If so, then here's what you can do. I'm sending at the end of this letter the power chord version that I posted before. The open chord version has basically the same chords: E G D C for the lyrics and D C G A# for the chorus. These are all simple major open chords chords and when I play it this way, I use a barre major shape on the 6th fret for the A# chord of the chorus. I hope this helps, please let me know of any problems. Thanx, -Philip F. Gomez PS. -Here's the power chord version of "Polly." Note: Played as it is, it does sound good on an acoustic as well.

I *think* theseare the chords....my tiny walkman speakers don't give a very clear sound ( good workman, bad tools honestly !!).The song is so wild that it seems the full major chords are played.Aaanyway, the lyrics (according to the author) were screamed on the spot, no lyric sheet here.make what you can of them. The only thing I could discern was `Cold heart` in the chorus.good luck..... It's goodbye From me...

(a chord notation is at the end of this document for the musically retarded) *Molly's Lips* This is just two chords throughout. Just G5 C5. That's it! *Son of a Gun* The intro and verse is A5 E5 D5 E5 Chorus: G5 C5 D5 C5 The interlude is just basically G5 D5 a couple of times, then A5 E5* a couple of times, then back to G5 D5 four times. *Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam* Verse: E5 D5 A5 Chorus: E5 D5 E5 D5 E5 D5 A5 The solo (and the accordion part in the Unplugged version, I think) goes like this: -----------------9-7-------------------------------------- --6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9-7-6---------7-6--------- --------------------------------------7--7-7------7--7-7- In live versions, the first and third verse are clean, while the choruses, second verse, and solo are distorted.
