Sounds like this is sped up by pressing halfway the pause button of a tape machine,
because the pitch wobbles a bit (the person who presses the button looses the pressure

HELP ME
from "Out Of The Blue" bootleg
Tuning:Standard
The Live version I have heard (Out of the Blue 11/89) sounds like a jam.
Kurt (if it's even Kurt) plays the main riff in many different ways...
probably he's screwing up. Here's something.

Somewhere in the 3rd verse Kurt plays the same as Krist

*(just a slide upward targeting on the fret 14. Some bending and stuff.
On the very first time he plays the 2 fret on high E)
That's it. Play occasionally the A5 and C riff (look at the verse riff)
at 2:35 there's a riff which is about this:
E5 F#5
---------12--I

Then go to solo which is an improvised anti-solo so no tabbing around here.
Just bend everything around 12th fret, writhe on the floor and you'll get close...;)

*Kurt occasionally frets the g string while playing power chords in a barre way.
OUTRO SOLO:
Very improvised noisy solo. Kurt even kicks on his Poly chorus pedal
which is still on the HSB mega-speed flange setting...
