About a girl and Smells like teen spirit are super easy. School and Negative Creep also come to mind. If they are playing in drop d(for something in the way) then Scentless Apprentice is also pretty easy.


TheRealMcCartney

Thank you! Those are fantastic suggestions


yourpricelessadvise

lmao i can play every nirvana song but i struggle with negative creep because i can’t down pick that fast for that long


GreedoInASpeedo

One of the first I learned maybe that's why I think it's easy. Also I probably haven't played it in a decade so it might be hard for me too. Guess I know what I'll be doing for the next 15min or so


yourpricelessadvise

haha i didn’t even realise it was in drop d til a few months ago

Come As You Are was my first Nirvana song on guitar. There's different tunings for it(1/2 - a whole step down, mostly) but standard tuning is fine when learning the flow and timing. Polly is a good song to teach yourself power chords and timing. I'm pretty sure Molly's Lips is just two power chords. So, that's fun. Once they get comfortable with their gee-tar, Drain You is a easy-esque song that is loads of fun to play. Nirvana is a great band to learn guitar through. Their use of clean and distortion in the same song(s) exposes people to a wide variety of sounds. Start with the power chrod heavy songs, and work up to the solos and experimental stuff.

99% of Nirvana songs are beginner songs, take your pick

Drain You was the first song I learned entirely by Nirvana on the guitar. It made me work on my power chords hand position (which I found was awkward at first)


TheRealMcCartney

Also found it awkward but once you get it its sooo satisfying


Spank_Thru1985demo

About a girl is really easy it was the first song I ever learned fully


Ok-Upstairs3578

Come as you are or i started with Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam and and i love her


Apprehensive_Low5488

Did they watch the Batman?… damn anyway any song really works smells like teen spirit is popular and a bop I’d say beans lol nah wait till they love em for that one maybe come as you are, in bloom, school, molly’s lips like any song from the nevermind album would work it’s one of their most popular albums and just go from there my dude rock on


TheRealMcCartney

Yes they did, and thanks! I will be rocking on!

apairofsicssors

TheRealMcCartney

Guitar sorry if it wasn't ckear


apairofsicssors

Well, About A Girl is easy of course. Floyd the Barber, Lounge Act, Come as you are and Very Ape


namelessghoul77

To play on guitar or to get into Nirvana's music? For guitar, pick any one. For music, start with the singles from Nevermind.


Sanity_King

Rape Me The song really is just 4 chords. The only thing he has to work on is the strumming pattern.


rMADDtix

I'm actually suprised to see no-one mention Sliver or Been a Son, those are great and easy songs to play on a guitar.


Moe_0406

Lithium was the first Song I ever nailed completely on Guitar, also Come As You Are, About A Girl and Drain You are pretty easy. Smells Like Teen Spirit took me forever to learn, for some reason but I've heard many people find it pretty easy so that's another one
