    The trickiest part of that intro riff, for me at least, is that it starts on an upstroke, which can throw you off if your brain is used to coming out the gate with one or more downstrokes when strumming. It’s not imperative that the riff is played that way - Cobain himself tended to vary his approach to the strumming pattern when he played it live, but for anyone out there trying to play this song _exactly_ as it sounds on the record, starting on an upstroke makes this simple power chord riff kind of a challenging strumming exercise.

      I met Kurt Cobain in 1990 at a Melvins show I went to and didn't know who the headlining act was. I had just been saying to my gf, "Nirvana? What a gay name." A little while later I was speaking to Kurt and luckily I didn't mention my opinion on his band name again until he went on stage later and I figured out who Nirvana was.

      @@JaMeshuggah I know, it probably would have made for a better story. I actually liked the band once I heard them, but in the moment that name sounded pretty gay.

    This is interesting because I’ve always come from the Metallica school of downstrokes all the time if you can get away with it. Consequently I such, especially at solos

      I think it does but that's not the point of this video, which is to teach proper strumming and rhythm techniques to improve your sense of timing.
