No one else bothered to post this so I took the liberty of figuring
it out myself. It may not be exactly right, but it sounds like it is.
Corrections, comments and questions are welcome at meunier.1@osu.edu
Beyond that, my only advice is to play it fast with as much attitude as you
can muster.

"36-24-36" by the Violent Femmes
written by Gordon Gano
Transcribed by Bryson Meunier
>From "Add It Up"
guitar solos and lyrics included(I'm including the lyrics because all I
really have is the guitar solos and solos alone do not a tab file make).

Thirty-six...Twenty-Four...Thirty-Six!


guitar solo 1:
E-----------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------
G------7b7-7r^h5---5----7--5--7h5---5-7b^h5-5--7--5--7--7b-----
D----------------7----------------7----------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------

(You'll have to figure out the timing on your own but when played at the
same speed, with the same feel, this arrangement sounds very similar to the cd).


Guitar solo 2:
E---------------------------------------------5----------------------|
B--10b-------7h5---5-5------------------------5------------11--10--9-|
G----------------7-----7b^h5-----5--7--5--7b--5--------/13-----------|
D----------------------------7--------------------0------------------|
A--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------------------------------------|

E----------------------------------------------------|
B-7-----------------------------------2\-------------|
G-----10--9--8--7--6\-----------------2\-------------|
D----------------------8--7-6-5-4-3---2\-------------|
A-------------------------------------0--------------|
E---------------------------------------------0------|

(Again, you're on your own as far as timing is concerned. Also again, I know
this isn't exact but it definitely sounds similar when played correctly.
Don't follow the numerical indicators in the last part of this solo
verbatim. Just use them as a guideline and walk up the neck to a tune that
suits you).

symbols used in transcription:
b=bend
r=release
h=hammer-on
/=slide

This is my first post so I really would appreciate any input. Send it to
meunier.1@osu.edu Thanks and have fun with the post.

This is a small correction meant to be added to the already
existing"36-24-36.tab" file at OLGA. The hammer-ons are actually meant to
be pull-offs. So it's not 7h5 but rather 7p5. Maybe this was
self-explanatory given the numbers' relation to one another but I thought
I'd correct it anyway for the sake of clarity.I apologize for the mistake
but I posted it around finals week and I wasn't in complete control of my
senses. Remarkably,though, the solos still sound decent to me. Write me if
you disagree.
