NIRVANA - "Greatest Hits" Tablature

Greetings,fellow guitarists. The new greatest hits record from Nirvana (which is
simply called Nirvana) is a fantastic collection of the bands best work, including
three tracks from the amazing unplugged record. Therefore it’s only fair that
someone should tab it out. (R.I.P Kurt Cobain)
