          author's note 2


author's note 1: Don't play the two F5 chords the first time through.
author's note 2: This isn't exact but close enough for non-technical
                 people.


How to play with lyrics:

  riff1  2x (times)
  riff1
 "Standing  on the stairs"
  riff1
 "Cold,  Cold morning"
  riff1  (with ghost effects on voice)
 "Ghostly  image of fear"
  riff1  (ghost effects off)
 "Mayday   Mayday"
  riff2
  " Gonna leave this region"
  " they'll take me with them"
  riff1 2x
  riff1
  " Dementia seven"
  riff1 + fill1
  riff3 3x then fill2
  "Straight as an arrow"
  "Defect  defect"
  "Not straight, not so straight"
  "Reject  reject"
  "Goes anti-social"
  "So don't so dooooon't"

  drum beat plays another couple bars

  "Standing on the stairs"
  riff4 (remember author's notes 1 here only)
  "Cold, cold morning"
  riff4
  "Ghostly  image of fear"
  riff4
  "Mayday mayday"
  riff5
  " Gonna leave this region"
  riff5
  " They'll take me with them"
  riff4 2x
  riff4
  " Dementia seven"
  riff4
  solo then phrase1 7x then phrase2 once
  riff4 4x  On the 1,2 and 4th times grit teeth and yell "yeeeaaah"
  riff4
  "Straight as an arrow"
  riff4
  "Defect defect"
  riff4
  "Not straight, not so straight"

-- 





D-7 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lyrics:

verse 1:
Straight as an arrow, defect, defect.
Not straight, not so straight, reject, reject.
Towards anti-social, solo, solo.
verse 2:
Standing on the stairs, cold cold morning.
Ghostly image of fear, mayday, mayday.
Gonna leave this region, they'll take me with them.

Dimension Seven

tuning: standard (although drop D would work very well)

slow part (no distortion):

E---0--------0--1--------1--  this sequence is played twice before the drums
A------2-----------3--------  come in, then twice more with the drums, then
D---------2-----------0-----  all throughout the first two lines of each 
G---------------------------  verse.
B---------------------------
E---------------------------

E---5-----5-----6-----6-----5-----5-----6--6--------  this is played during
A------7--7--7-----8--8--8-----7--7--7--8--8--------  the third line of each
D---------7-----------8-----------7-----8--8--------  verse, after which it
G---------------------------------------------------  returns to the riff
B---------------------------------------------------  above.
E---------------------------------------------------

Then there is that pause where the last chord (E) rings out for about
four to eight beats,and then Kurt turns the distortion on and doubles
the tempo.

He uses the following power chord progression:
(REALLY FAST--X MEANS MUTED CHORD)
E,E,X,X,E,E,E,E,F,F,F,G,G,G,F,F x2
then he repeats verse 1 (screaming of course)
use the above chords for the first two lines, and then this for the 
third line:
A,A,X,X,A,A,A,A,A#,A#,A#,C,C,C,A#,A# x2
repeat the first power chord progression twice with no lyrics.

scream verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)

guitar solo (improvise your own, it's pretty easy)

scream verse 1 again

repeat first chord progression 8 times more,
screaming "dimension seven" in each.

"D-7" as performed by Nirvana
(originally written by Greg Sage,
performed by the Wipers)

This is a great cover tune.  For those who don't know about it, it's on some
demos and on the Hormoaning import ep.  I think it's on one of the import
singles too (probably Lithium UK import).

standard tuning
~ = let ring
hb = half bend

Intro
   E5                     F5     (G5) F5
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
--------2-------------0------
-----2-----2-------3-----3---
--0-------------1------------

(it's probably easier to play the intro in Drop D, but, whatever floats your
boat...)

then that almost-chorus-like part of the intro (strumming):
A5  (x022xx)    G5  (355xxx)

the intro ends with a strummed E5.

Verse
   E5                                 F5              G5

the rest of the solo shouldn't be too hard to figure out, but i'm too lazy to
do that myself right now : )

=======================================
D - 7    -    NIRVANA 
=======================================

This is the way I play Nirvanas D-7. I hope someone read this, so I can
hear some opinions about it...


Tune down a half step (Eb Ab Db .....)


Riff 1 (Chorus 1st part):                Riff 2 (Chorus 2nd part):

e -------------------------------        -----------------------------
A -------------------------------        -----------------------------
D -------------------------------        -3------3--------------------
G ---------3---------------------        -3---3-----3-----4---6---4---
H -----3-------3------4---6---4--        -1------------2--------------
E -1---------------2-------------        -----------------------------
       Staight.... arrow
                

Play so:

-> Riff 1  x2
Drum enters

Slow part:

-> Riff 1  x2

-> Riff 1  x4  -------------> Straight as an arrow
-> Riff 2  x2  --|            deflect, deflect
                 |            Not straight, not so straigth
                 |            Reject, reject
                 |
                 -----------> No time to .....?
                              Solo, solo ..?

-> Riff 1  x2 (first time strumm 133xxx instead of the 1xxxxx)
                                
-> Riff 1 x4   -------------> Standing on the stairs
-> Riff 2 x2   --|            Come, Come on now
                 |            Go sleep (?) into fear ..?
                 |            Mayday, mayday
                 |
                 |----------> Don't leave this region
                              They'll take you with them

-> Riff 1  x2 (first time strumm 133xxx instead of the 1xxxxx)
-> Riff 1      -------------> Demand your selfish ..?
-> Riff 1 
-> Pick (1xxxxx)

Hard part:

The hard part use powerchords instead of the picking:
          

Instead of Riff 1:                          Instead of RIFF 2:  
                                              
e -------------------------------------     Pretty the same like the left  
A -------------------------------------     one, but one string higher:
D -------------------------------------        
G -3--3--3--3--3--3--4--4--6--6--4--4--         133xxx -> x133xx   
H -3--3--3--3--3--3--4--4--6--6--4--4--         244xxx -> x244xx 
E -1--1--1--1--1--1--2--2--4--4--2--2--         466xxx -> x466xx
   d  d  u  u  d  u  d  d  u  u  d  u                 
   
         d ... Strum Down
         u ... Strum Up

-> Repeat the slow part but, instead of the Riffs use the powerchords shown
   above...
   (thats the thing I call 'hard part')

-> Instead of the last pick (1xxxxx) play the solo (someone who know how to 
                                                    play it?)

-> Powerchords for Riff 1  x2

-> Repeat the hole hard part

-> Repeat the "Demand your selfish ..?" line 7 times.
