------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loaded by Hole ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From 1991's 'Pretty on the Inside'. So, I'll be honest, this song is INSANE. It is all over the place, so I simplified it enough to make a coherent tab for it. There's tons of stuff going on in here, from slides to bends to wahs to finger-picking and ridiculous distortion and feedback, some of which I believe was probably improvised, at least in the outro. You can improvise in the bridge as well; what I tabbed was just a rough guide to what I hear going on in there. Regardless, this sounds close enough and if anything can be a guide for more experienced guitarists to build on. There are no tabs out there for this song which is a shame because it's an awesome track. Good luck! (NOTE: There are two guitars present here, but it's possible to play with one as well. The tab denotes the verses where Riff A and B are played together ("Riff A/B"), but if using one guitar, only play Riff B during these. Riff D and E are also played together at the end of the song, which is indicated in the tab). Tabbed by: Scott H.
