Floyd the Barber
Kurt Cobain
#As interpreted by Rick Scaia (ag725@freenet.carleton.ca)
#The primary riff for this tune is just an F power chord (for two quarter
#notes) then a quick slide down to a heavily muted E power chord (two
#eighths and a quarter note). If you've heard the song, it's pretty
#easy. The chorus and solo aren't much more difficult.

Something indecipherable in the room
Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume

#Main riff twice
Chorus
#Main riff once, then bass only on main riff, then drums only.
#If you're just playing alone, just play it three time, and mute
#it more each time until the third time is extremely percussive sounding.
