Notes
Studio recording, 1993-1994 (final Nirvana sessions). Clean section likely used neck pickup on Jag-Stang into a clean Fender Twin Reverb. No evidence of chorus or modulation effects in the clean intro/verse. No pedal effects confirmed for clean part.

The clean riff requires accurate single-note picking and dynamic control to maintain clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
