Ah, that’s got to be it David, it’s played on bass! Too obvious for me to figure out 
. It didn’t seem very “Nirvana” to have backing musicians off stage etc. I’ve know some ostensibly “one guitar” bands like RHCP have two guitars on stage at their concerts, this one was stumping me. Thanks mate.

Welcome to the jungle, Malcolm 
Fab debut.
You know what you need to do.
Keep it up
Congratulations on an excellent first post Malcolm. That was some tasty grunge going on there.
That moving from strumming to picking is a bit of a bugger, isn’t it?
@brianlarsen That’s a whole different group.

Great song choice for a debut, absolutely well done! On top of other comments made I would suggest perhaps playing along the original a lot just to get into the song’s speed? You can always slow it down on youtube to any tempo if original is bit too quick 
all the best and congratz!

Thanks for the comment @adi_mrok.
Playing along to original recordings and backing tracks is something that I have tried many times. However, with this song I would have to detune my guitar to play along to the original recording, something that I haven’t got into yet, and I am not sure that I would be comfortable messing around with the tuning of my guitar yet. I will check youtube as there may be a good backing track in standard tuning.
Here you go in standard tuning
