That recent episode was amazing. When he played the vocal melody over the chords with a clean guitar sound, was that crazy how beautiful that was or what?

I always marginally liked that album for the Extreme dynamics and Cobain’s on-pitch buzzsaw vocal in the chorus of that song, but really never appreciated the melody amongst the chords like Rick pointed out. Watch the Muse episode for some really cool melody ideas as well and rather obtuse chords. I’m writing a song right now where I’m stealing some of the unexpected chord progressions, and the extended chords from Smells Like Teen Spirit
