Alright, hands up… who learned Smells Like Teen Spirit as their first bass line? ?❓
The 1991 grunge/pop crossover smash hit aboslutely catapulted Nirvana to mega-stardom. The bass follows a pretty straightforward riff that sticks to the root notes of the guitar. It’s the simplest pattern of eighths possible, and Novoselic performs it with total skill, playing microscopically behind the beat to lend it extra weight.
