Blow Up The Outside World by Soundgarden – Guitar Tab

Why I Like This Tab

This tab for “Blow Up The Outside World” captures the essence of Soundgarden’s unique sound, while still being accessible for the casual player. It’s a great mix of simplicity and detail, with the tabbed intro riff adding some nice texture to the basic chord structure. I appreciate that it doesn’t require any alternative tunings or a capo, making it ready to play on any standard tuned guitar. Also, the chord progression is relatively easy to follow, yet it’s varied enough to keep you engaged. It’s a good pick if you want to improve your rhythm guitar skills while enjoying some good ol’ grunge.

Practice Tip

Take the time to practice the intro riff separately before integrating it into the full song. The riff can be a bit tricky at first, but it’s essential for capturing the song’s distinctive sound. Start slow, focusing on getting the notes right, then gradually increase the speed as you get more comfortable. Another tip would be to pay attention to the chord transitions, especially from the verse to the chorus, as they can be somewhat quick.

Intro

Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try

Nothing's closing my eyes

Nothing can bring me down for your pain or delight

And nothing seems to shatter me no matter how strenuous I fall

Nothing can shatter me at all

Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

I've given everything I need I'd donate you everything I own

I'd offer in if it could at least be ours alone

I've given everything I could to inflate it away and gone

Burrow down in and blow up the outside

Blow up the outside

Blow up the outside world

Someone tried to tell me something

Don't let the world deliver you down

Nothing can act me in before I carry out myself

So save it for your own and the ones you can help uh huh

(Chorus)

(Then comes the solo...just improvise on E)_

Want to make it understood

Trying though I never would

Trying though I know it's wrong

Blowing it away and gone

Wishing though I never could

Blow up the outside

Blow up the outside world

blow up the outside blow up the outside blow up...etc.

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

Strings and Frets:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
- The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
- The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|---3---------------|
E|-------------------|
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

Hammer-On (h):
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
G|-------------------|
D|-------5h7---------|
Pull-Off (p):
