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... ------- From: wolser@rpi.edu CRD-About A Girl >From Nirvana's Bleach (also featured on Nirvana's 1993 MTV Unplugged performance) Intro: Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G I need an easy friend Em G Em G I do with a hand to lend Em G Em G I do think you fit this shoe Em G Em G I do what you have a clue C# G# F# I'll take advantage while C# G# F# You hang me out to dry Em A C Em G Em G But I can't see you every night free Em G Em G I do Em G Em G I'm standing in your light Em G Em G I do hope you have the time Em G Em G I do pick up number two Em G Em G I do keep a date with you C# G# F# I'll take advantage while C# G# F# You hang me out to dry Em A C Em G Em G But I can't see you every night free Em G Em G I do Solo: Repeat 3x (s=slide up) E ------------------------|- B ------------------------|- G ----------------7--7s9--|- D -----5-7-7s9--9---------|- A -7-7--------------------|- E ------------------------|- (Repeat verse 1) C# G# F# I'll take advantage while C# G# F# You hang me out to dry Em A C But I can't see you every night Em A C I can't see you every night Em G Em G Free Em G Em G I do Em G Em G I do Em G Em G Em I do Notes: All apologies for incorrect lyrics -- this is just how I hear them. 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.
