This loop is done 4 times, then the E-G thing back and forth 8 times
while he sings (what I think is) Adieu. The drum queues apply only to
the first time the loop is played. Guitar solo is done during the 3rd
loop, on the 2nd E-G thing, for the rest of the loop. I'll transcribe
the guitar solo on the tab if someone sends me the lyrics, but the solo
is based on the Em scale for the E-G thing and then goes into power chords,
following the song chords (ie- C# G# F# C# G# F# E A C).
Before anyone argues with me whether it's E or Em, I'm 90% sure it's
E. The reason for the minor tonality is a pretty ingenious (or lucky?)
trick Cobain played with chords. G happens to be the minor 3rd of E.
Therefore, even though he plays an E, the tonality of the passsage is
minor. I wonder if he was aware of this...

Notes:
All apologies for incorrect lyrics -- this is just how I hear
them. No one knows for sure what they are, anyway.
On Bleach, they play this song in standard tuning (EADGBE),
but on Unplugged they played it a half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb
Bb Eb).
Some say the Em is actually an E or an E5. Try 'em all and see what
sounds best to you.
Tune down 1/2 step: Eb Bb Gb Db Ab Eb
This is the main riff in the song. Played 1 time as intro and during the verses.
Guitar 1 plays this while guitar 2 just plays the chords wich I have written with the lyrics.

Well thats the solo, it's pretty easy, listen to the record for timing.
After the solo they play something play this before they go back to the song (both guitars):
C# F#7sus4 C# F#7sus4 E5 A C Em11
You have to listen to the record, i'm not quite sure about this chords but the sound quite right
atleast.
The end of the third chorus is like this:
but I can't see you every night, for I can't see you every night.... free... i do.. i do.. i do.. i do.
You play it something like this:
E E5 E E5 A C
