All Apologies tab

Nirvana, In Utero, 1993, D, Major, 84bpm

A Nirvana song with a hypnotic riff based on a very simple chord progression (D, F#, C, G) played one note at a time. Here, it's the use of Drop D that gives this riff its magic, making it heavy and deep, both sad and soothing. The fact that it loops for a good part of the song creates a kind of emotionally charged trance that you never get tired of.
