Solo-
There are many ways to play this solo...sometimes Kurt just played the
verse guitar part as the solo...but my version of the solo (quite
pathetic unless you're playing with some other people to help make more
noise!

repeat a couple times then

*Only play this solo if you are playing the Incesticide version. If you are 
not playing
the Incesticide version, play the verse until the guitar solo ends. Also, I 
am not sure
this solo is correct. If not, you can improv or raise the verse an octive 
higher.
Double tempo for the solo. You can play it all pulls or hammers if you think 
it sounds better.

If you have a High C 5-string bass, you can try playing a C&G power-chord 
solo.

Ex: C 5 5 3 2 0
    G 5 5 3 2 0....
