*To end scrape pick against strings, scrape low strings against the fretboad
and have some feedback coming from the amp.


NOTE:
The solo is an anti-solo, you can't get the actual notes Kurt played right.
Just get a feel for the solo and where the notes are, and kinda improvise
to make it sound original .More like an anti-solo and less like you are 
reading a tab printed off of Ultiamte-Guitar...
