1. Buy a distortion pedal.
2. Make sure you know how to use a distortion pedal. Don't Destroy your song with just distortion, or it will sound too much like heavy metal. You don't need to use it throughout your intro's Learn Here.
3. Have and know how to use a chorus pedal.
4. Down tune your guitar. Eb is a great medium tuning. Not too heavy, not too light. But standard was used often as well.
5. Take at least a week to think of how you want it to sound, how hard you want it to be, what kind of riff you want, the meaning of the lyrics.
6. Think of some confusing, weird lyrics that only mean something to you. Like Nirvana they have some wierd but strong lyrics all metaphors
7.Use lots of power chords; they are the heart of most Grunge song
8.When the solo comes around, it should be easy, yet it should sound heavy and complicated. A perfect example of this is Kurt Cobain’s solo in “Smells like Teen Spirit Nice And Easy Melodic
9 Never whine in a Grunge song. Grunge is about heavy sounding guitar and gritty vocals. If you’re using your nose to sing it, something is wrong.
10. You should have a great bassist behind you. He/she should be able to play simple bass lines that are kind of funky and simple.
11. Your drummer has to be hardcore. He/she should play heavy and hard. His/her skins should break normally. He/she should also be able to play fast, especially because grunge is fast-paced for the most part. Paradiddles on the snare drum should occur often. dave grohl Is an example Take A Look
