As part of learning guitar, I'm finding Nirvana songs to be pretty accessible both on acoustic and electric. And because I know most of these songs pretty well, it might be a fun mini task to try to learn them. So below is a set list from their last show, which seems to have a bunch of Drop-D tuning songs at the end, which is handy for practice purposes. As I learn, I'll make notes of chord progressions etc below each one as a reference for myself as I work through them. Most can be played in Eb tuning, though in some cases the album versions vary.

Other non-Nirvana tunes are here.

1. My Best Friend's Girl
