Heart Shaped Box Tab

OK This is the real version. This is more correct than any of the other versions
by tone deaf idiots. Bare in mind Cobain had a kind of sloppy playing style (part
of what grunge is all about) so try to put in a few incorrections when performing
for the full Nirvana effect. For the solo you'll want fuzz of some kind. You
could probably get it with a DS-2 or DS-1 or with a fuzz box (Big Muff maybe).
Cobain probably used his pro-co RAT for the solo though. Use a bridge humbucker
to get a good sound. A bit of chorus in the verse couldn't hurt, especially if
you can't get the right tone out of your guitar. Amp should be set with mids
RIGHT UP.

Note: Drop D tuning

On this last part, the A chord is struck twice. Turn the fuzz off just before
playing it the second time, and then go back to clean verse.

That's about it!
