Tab I wrote for the intro of rape me, found some other tabs that were close but still a lil off.
Kurt plays three very quick dead notes or 'wa-wackas' to transition between the chords Ab - B and Eb - F#
(first two and second two)
To make this easier and more exact, straight after playing the note, do an upstroke to start off the
dead notes. this will result in you finishing your 3rd 'wacka' on an upstroke, making it easy for you to
start the downstroke of the note you are transitioning to. ALso, sliding up to the next note while playing the
dead notes helps with playing the song at speed.
(muting strings while moving your finger to the next position.)
To transition from B - Eb and F# to Ab (2nd-3rd notes and 4th-1st notes) Kurt hits the open strings. (does
this in smells like teen spirit too!)
doing this is optional but it makes it sound more exact.
(PLAYED IN DROP D)
