I played guitar religiously for 5 years and knew tons of Nirvana songs and could play almost the entire lead guitar GN'R catalogue in high school. Since then I've moved into electronic music so I can barely remember any songs on guitar but I still have fun playing what Guns N Roses songs I do remember. Very little interest in reteaching myself Nirvana's stuff. Never got into Pearl Jam so my comment was more directed at Nirvana.
I don't know how exactly you could say that playing any Nirvana song is a challenge? The only challenge I could think of when it comes to playing a nirvana song on guitar is staying awake and not messing up out of pure boredom. I guess tuning to drop d could be hard for some? Aren't Nirvana's songs almost all simple chords or power chords? I did only learn their popular songs though so maybe I missed something but Kurt wasn't exactly known for his technical prowess around a guitar.
