Nirvana "Polly"
|
|
This simple yet strong song of the Nirvana Nevermind album consists mainly of the chords E5 - G5 - D5 - C5 . The version presented here is played exclusively with "power chords" as opposed to "open chords". |
Pay close attention to the percussive right hand strokes, achieved by muting the strings with the right hand palm, while strumming hard with the pick.
