This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Search and Destroy-Red Hot Chili Peppers (off of the Beavis and Butthead

experience)

Tabbed by Patrick Christman

I saw a request for this song by a friend so I figured it out pretty quick

(10 minutes) and have a pretty close approximation of how to play it.

However, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been known to play some pretty

strange chord shapes so experiment with what I have here. As for the outro

solo, I didn't even really bother so maybe later. The intro solo part is

a rough estimation I didn't really put any effort into it.

I use standard tabbing procedure for the bends feedback and such.

Riff 1 (intro)

C# F# E#

let ring--------|

This goes to riff 2 where it's a solo part.

Riff 2 (come to think of it this part seems way off... It'll give

you a base though)

All the notes are correct but I got lazy at the end so find you're own

rythem with it.......

Also If I ever get around to tabbing them out look for "Poetry and Prose"

and "I hate Myself and Want To Die" also from that album.
