SMASHING PUMPKINS - Tablatura - Geek Usa

Jim, the 2nd of 2 pumpkins tabs I made. Thanks alot.

GEEK U.S.A., from Siamese Dream, Smashing Pumpkins

- This puppy's just a tad harder than Rhinoceros...here's how I play it.

- Tuning: (low to high) Eb A# D# G# B# E# ..., or , you could just drop your
------ low E to D and play with a capo, but that's pretty un-Corgan like.
Whichever you do, bear in mind I transcribed this having changed
all 6 of my strings.

INTRO - Heavy Distortion :)

- The strumming pattern isn't right, so play it any way you think sounds good.
- Over the above, lay these licks...

VERSE - hammer on the lower 3 strings with your index and 3rd finger:
=====

- This is the basic fast-tempo metal format of the song; various bridges
and things include bars on the 10th, 3rd, 5th and zeroth frets. It would
take up less space if I ommitted those.

CHORUS:

James only (many strums.....)

-Again, the strumming pattern isn't perfect. Repeat the intro part and the
next verse. For that 2nd "shot full of diamonds", Billy slaps on a positive
Octaver. Also, add these licks over the 2nd intro (confused yet?)

- Those notes at the question marks still piss me off...

SOLO - the only thing I attempted here was the following:
====
...to my disease, of my needs...

|--------------------------------------------------|

OUTRO - wait for bass to do 4 bars, then do a heavy pick scrape and play this:
=====
"she really loves to break...
|--------------------------------------------------|r
|--------------------------------------------------|e
|--------------------------------------------------|p
|--0--0--0--7--0--0--0--0--10-10--0--9--9--9--2h3--|e

|--0--0--0--7--0--0--0--0--10-10--0--9--9--9--2h3--|t

then toss your guitar in a corner of your room and relax to Mayonnaise...
