order
pre-intro, intro (quiet), chorus (quiet, no singing), verse (noisy),
chorus (noisy), interlude, chorus (quiet), loud part, verse (noisy),
interlude.
note: you can play the verse without ever moving your hand if you
put your middle finger on the A string, 3rd fret and use your third
finger or pinkie to play on the fourth fret and your first finger
to play on the second fret.
A tip from Nat: "I just wanted to let you know that the first way you heard
Honourosis is correct. I saw Unwound play in Long Beach a couple weeks
ago, and I ended up so close to the tiny stage, that justin almost
smacked me in the face with the headstock of his guitar. Anyway, that
song is one of my favorite unwound songs, and they played it that
night. I paid attention to how he played it, and you were right."
