 Then repeat the chorus for the rest of the song, and you're done :) get back on the wah


 the


 second half of the outro, slowly move it back and forth flanger style. in the recording it's


 just left in one position for pure noise value, but when played live the wah's usually got


 some movement in there.

 Dinosaur Jr. - Little Fury Things
 
 Standard tuning, capo on 2nd fret
 
 [---] 
 A lot of Dino's earlier songs have wierd song structures and don't follow the usual
 kind of deal, so I might've technically labeled a verse as a chorus or vice
 versa, but you should have an of which bit is which.
 
 To get the harsh wah sound in the intro, it helps to put your fuzz (or other distortion)
 front of the wah in the signal chain, so it goes guitar>fuzz>wah. that way, you're
 distorting the signal the wah and you get this really nasty harsh wah sound of
 awesomeness. this gets used on songs like Kracked, and Drawerings to name a couple.
 
 Like I say, I can get a quite close tone to this song by using a Jazzmaster with both
 selected, some mild overdrive for the rhythm/'clean' parts, and heavy fuzz for
 the distorted parts. Then maybe toy your amp EQ and you can pretty much
 nail the 80s Dinosaur tone.

 ==intro riff
 
 (not relative to capo - actual fret numbers used)
 really weird chords, but after checking live videos, this is as close as i can
 figure them out. seems J was all into weird chords on that album.
