Smells Like Teen Spirit tab

"Smells like teen spirit" was Nirvana's first and biggest hit, and an unexpected success for both the band and the music business. It was a turning point for alternative rock which now became much more popular. Is written in F minor, and you can see in the “Smells like teen spirit” guitar tabs that the main guitar riff is only four power chords.

It might be the asymmetrical nature of Kurt Cobain's riff that makes it so good, or just that the song is full of anger. The song shifts in volume and dynamics, going back and forth from quiet to loud too keep the attention to the listener. Check out the “Smells like teen spirit” tabs. This formula was followed by many alternative rock bands in the years to come. The guitar solo almost has the exact same melody as the vocal from the verse and pre-chorus. This is typical for Nirvana. The tempo and lyrics where often changed during concerts.
