Using the Wicked Pick on this song helps you get that distinct grunge sound. First, on your amp and equalizer, put Distortion all the way up, drop out your Low, raise your Highs to about 3 o'clock and raise your Mids almost at full, no reverb. For the Intro/Chorus, take your picking hand as you are strumming and bend your wrist so your fingers are facing more towards the ground and your pick is almost vertical.  Strum  hard but rhythmically.   For the verse, play holding your pick back in your comfortable position and give it a hard attack.  Keep moving back and forth between the hand positions and you'll get that same hard, driving edge Nirvana gives it.
