Nirvana: All Apologies
*Note This piece requires 'Drop D' and was recorded in Flat Tuning.
The open D is hit at the start of every bar and left ringing throughout while the riff is played over the top. You can make this an open D powerchord if you move the riff to higher strings⁄lower frets.
Vital Tip; The slides should be performed by the 3rd finger- this way you have two fingers naturally positioned to reach back to the following frets.
