~Title:     Even In His Youth
Artist:    Nirvana;  lyrics and music by Kurt Cobain. 
Recording: 2nd track on the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" CD single.  Also known 
              as "Smells Like a Teenage Single".  Previously unreleased. 
Tab:       1.0   by Peter Jay Salzman   [email protected] 
Beat:      Allegro, about 144 bpm. 
Sound:     Not Cobain's standard sound, which is why this tune is interesting.
              Very distorted with the mids turned up super duper (ie 10) and 
              lows turned up also.  A very muddy distortion with lots of 
              harmonics giving it an almost pipe organ sound. A very Marshall 
              sound, but in the OPPOSITE sense of Hendrix who had the treble
              turned high.


       
Intro: Feedback on 12 fret, 1st string (high E). 

The following riff is the vamp and verse.  For those who want to do it
just like the recording, vamp the 2 measures 2 times, then drums enter
on the third time.  Vocals enter on the fifth repeat.
