From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah.
This is the album which pretty much has there previous songs on their albums
like nevermind bleach and so on. So all I'm doing is just putting in the tab
from the other albums...They should be pretty similar the way they play it.

Note.- this song doesn't sounds really good without a bass, if you
don't have one, but another friend has another guitar one can play
the guitar part and the other the bass part, which is only this

Scentless Apprentice
This song has a solo that is basically an improvisation.
Long bends and flange helps it along.
There is supposed to be a flange effect at the beginnning and other
part of the song, but i can't seem to get it.
