the Smashing Pumpkins Rhinocerous Off Gish (1991)/ the Peel Sessions (1990)/ Rhinocerous (1991)/ Rotten Apples ? the greatest Hits (2001) Written by Billy Corgan Tabbed by Jimi Standard Tuning This song?s Intro (when I?m talking about the intro, I mean that part with the amazing feedback) is pretty much impossible to reproduce. In the studio, Billy and James used their both guitars in feedback (one with delay/flanger, the other clean) and an additional third guitar, which was simply switched on and put before an amp. They wanted to get that `airplane? sound? Turn your mids and basses up, but not to High, otherwise you will get problems with the solos. Use some really mean and nearly fuzzy distortion for the Interlude and for the first chorus ,I prefer switching pick- ups between the chords. Intro: Feedback, See me transcription above!
