Geek U.S.A. Smashing Pumpkins
- Tuning: (low to high) Eb A# D# G# B# E# ..., or , you could just drop your ------ low E to D and play with a capo, but that's pretty un-Corgan like. Whichever you do, bear in mind I transcribed this having changed all 6 of my strings.

- The strumming pattern isn't right, so play it any way you think sounds good. - Over the above, lay these licks...

- This is the basic fast-tempo metal format of the song; various bridges and things include bars on the 10th, 3rd, 5th and zeroth frets. It would take up less space if I ommitted those.

-Again, the strumming pattern isn't perfect. Repeat the intro part and the next verse. For that 2nd "shot full of diamonds", Billy slaps on a positive Octaver. Also, add these licks over the 2nd intro (confused yet?)

- Those notes at the question marks still piss me off...
SOLO - the only thing I attempted here was the following: ...to my disease, of my needs... |--------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------| |-11-11-11-11\10-10-10-10\9-9-9-9/12-12-12-12------| |----------------------------------------------etc.| |--9--9--9--9\-8--8--8--8\7-7-7-7/10-10-10-10------| |--------------------------------------------------|
