Recording: 2nd track on the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" CD single. Also known as "Smells Like a Teenage Single". Previously unreleased. Tab: 1.0 by Peter Jay Salzman psalzman@stars.sfsu.edu Beat: Allegro, about 144 bpm. Sound: Not Cobain's standard sound, which is why this tune is interesting. Very distorted with the mids turned up super duper (ie 10) and lows turned up also. A very muddy distortion with lots of harmonics giving it an almost pipe organ sound. A very Marshall sound, but in the OPPOSITE sense of Hendrix who had the treble turned high. Intro: Feedback on 12 fret, 1st string (high E). The following riff is the vamp and verse. For those who want to do it just like the recording, vamp the 2 measures 2 times, then drums enter on the third time. Vocals enter on the fifth repeat.
