------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GERMS BURN - Thurston Moore ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:Shaka_SY Tuning: CGDGCD This is Thurston's part. James part is similar save for the solo.

Meanwhile, James holds the 8th fret chord for a while and ends on 7th fret (I think) So if you're not going to try to emulate Thurston, you can still do something like this : D|-8----------- C|-8----------- G|-8----------- D|-8----------- G|-8-----7\\\\\ C|-8-----7\\\\\ ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | * harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
