Soundgarden - Fresh Deadly Roses guitar tab

#

Greetings and salutations!

This is a transcription of Soundgarden's Fresh Deadly Roses. Its only

available on some import my DJ roommate in college had, but it's a very

cool song if you can find it (Ultramega OK??? I'm not sure). Very simple

guitar, but very cool. The intro and verse are played with a bright, half-

distorted guitar sound, letting the chords and intervals ring.

Slides and hammerons are denoted by the underscores between notes on the

TAB (a la ---9_10---- ).

Intro and verse:

{ 2 times } s ( 4 times )

1---------------------------------------------9------9---------8-----------

2--5--------5----------4--------4---------------9------9---9-----8---8-----

3----5-5-5----5-5-5------5-5-5-----5-5-5--5_6-----6------6---------5-------

4--------------------------------------------------------------------------

5--------------------------------------------------------------------------

6--------------------------------------------------------------------------

{ heavy vibrato }

Kim goes through that pattern a few times, and before the chorus he changes

into this nifty little atonal type thing:

Change into chorus:

3------5-----5--------5-----5--------5-----5--------5--5_7-----------------

4--7--------------6--------------7--------------6----------6---------------

5------------------------------------------------------------5-------------

The chorus is played with the Seattle super grunge mud-o-riffic beef sound.

Chorus:

This verse-chorus sequence is repeated twice. Then they go into the bridge,

once again in that super-thud distortiom. It's just chords, here's the chart.

Bridge:

A G A G A G F# G D C D C D C B C

Hope you can find this song, or someone can turn you on to it. It's a grunge

classic.

Scare the neighbors,
