Hole - Retard Girl tab

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
			     Retard Girl by Hole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Scott H.

This was Hole's very first single and their first song ever released, put out by
Sympathy for the Record Industry in 1990— kind of essential to learn to play, right? The song
was originally recorded in drop-D tuning, but it's not necessary. Okay, so here's the
thing with this one: the parentheses in Riffs A and C are noting the barre, but DON'T strum
these (i.e., on the first chord, you're only hitting the open low E string while barring
the strings below that on the 2nd fret). Just lay your index finger over these strings
on Riffs A and C, and the rest of the work is done with your middle finger and pinky. In 
other words, only hit the notes that don't have parentheses around them. The barre on 
the 2nd
fret kind of works as a harmonic, and is necessary otherwise it won't sound right. Takes
some finger stretching to play, especially with the pinky to hit the D string on the
5th fret. Riff B is just composed of barre chords. Play with heavy distortion and let 
the notes ring quite a bit. Listen to the song to get the idea.
