"Out There"
Dinosaur Jr.
Recorded on
"Where You Been"
This is a (fairly close) transcription of Dinosaur Jr.'s
"Out There." The verse riff and the first solo were posted
earlier by . I've incorporated his
transcription into mine, and added the other sections and
the second solo. All the rhythm is TABbed out first, then
the lead at the end.
Have fun!
-Michael Gunter-
P.S. Soon to come: The rest of the "Where You Been" Album.
All of Live's "Mental Jewelry" album (guitar and bass).
Note that this is all by ear, so it is at most a reasonable facsimile.
Please pardon the verbosity of my transcriptions; I'm a real perfectionist
when it comes to these things.

^^^This is where the rhythm changes (see Verse Riff, above)
The rest of the lead is just a flurry of notes that I'm a combination of too
lazy and too not good enough to figure out. The chorus section is just in D#
so just solo with the D# MAJOR and D# MAJOR PENTATONIC scales and you'll be
fine.
