Polly

Here's a rough sketch of me doing Polly by Nirvana. Been messing with it a bit. Used Cadd9 instead of C and did it a half step down. Well, doing a half step down was an accident because I forgot what tuning I was in.

Feedback is appreciated.

PD, I am not familure with this and not into metal much, but it sounded good to me. Very heavy on effects, really jumped out at me at the 1:00 mark.

I play this all the time and love it, to me it sounds a little heavy on the effects for the undistorted section. The distorted sounds ok, maybe a small bit of delay or even reverb would set this off nicely. This is just my opinion, I do prefer cleaner tones for Nirvana but I am getting old now.

The rhythum is good and you can certainly tell what you are playing. Needs lyrics....oh go on and maybe play over a backing track or metronome for the timming.

I agree with Kriss. I almost fell out of my chair when the heavy distorted part began
