Notes
Studio recording, January 30, 1994 at Robert Lang Studios, Seattle. Kurt Cobain arrived without his own gear and used a reworked Univox Hi-Flier and the studio's Marshall JMP 50. This is the official studio version, not a live or alternate demo.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically tight and requires aggressive picking and palm muting, but uses simple power chords and straightforward patterns, making it accessible to intermediate players.
