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:

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".

Tuning:Standard ½step 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.
