Dinosaur Jr. - Little Fury Things

Tabbed by DK

Standard EADGBe with a Capo on the 2nd fret. 

Tab written in relation to the capo!

---
All the tabs up on UG had some incorrect parts so I used what was right and then used my
ear and videos of J to make this tab. Big thanks to the people who already put tabs up, 
you were a major help. For the song, use a wah pedal for the intro and outro, some verse 
stuff too. J seems to prefer using a more open wah sound with a lot of fuzz. This song has 
a kind of dirty-clean  tone to it, I put my amp’s gain on about halfway or just under to 
get that mix of distortion and chime.

I hope it's all 100% accurate and if it's not feel free to comment on any corrections!
One of the best Dinosaur Jr. songs out there :)

Intro

I like to do a mix of finger and palm muting here

Chorus – you can add the fill on the last time. J pulls off on B occasionally too

Verse

Play the chords on the left 3 times, then on the 4th play the bit on the right. Play these 
together two times

Middle

If you find these chords a bit of a stretch or your fingers are getting mangled, it
still sounds good without using the B string. Alternate between the two fills instead of
the last chords.

Chorus (Again)

Play 4 times, then add some wah into the mix. Mostly open stuff just to create some
noise. Keep playing until the song ends. On the last strum, do a huge tremolo dive, and
then let loose the feedback with some light vibrato to accompany it.
