the solo is just improvised noise. Do bends high up the neck on the low and high strings.
And use some kind of effect on it, like a Short delay with high feedback(like Kurt did)
or a floored flanger.

VERY APE

OK, This is probably the only Nirvana song that needs 2 guitars,
so it's tabbed for 2 guitars.
The first tab section is for the rhythm guitar:

MILK IT

Standard tuning dropped down ˝step

The song starts with two guitars playing improvised licks on the high strings
and quite high on the neck. No need for tabbing...but remember that even that
improvised lick has a certain rhythm. Listen to it carefully. The same applies
for the "Guitar solo".

after the drums come in, only muffled strings and feedback is played so
I don't mind tabbing it.

GALLONS OF RUBBING ALCOHOL FLOW TROUGH THE STRIP


Tuning:Standard ˝step down

There's a quiet, overdubbed guitar playing improvised lines under everything (also
under verses). I didn't even consider trying to tab them...the whole song is pretty
much an improvised jam, the choruses are different and Kurt plays the bridge riff
first differently than the 3 other repeats.

SOLOS

Pretty much anti-solos. Kurt used his Echo Flanger pedal set to a short echo to create
sharp sound for the rest of the song. Use "noise fingering" (see guide to anti-solos) and
slide it up and down on different strings.
