Play around frets 4-8. Avoid the fret 6. Kurt seemed to at least try to play a Jimmy Page
Solo but wasn't able to do better...:) who knows, at least there's some kind of a scale there.

SOLO
Mostly an improvised anti-solo (I won't tab it, and even if I tabbed it you couldn't play it :P )
I thought I'd put the structure here because this song doesn't have many riffs but it sounds
like it has a zillion...most of them are the same with different drum parts.
