Yes my newest one! Made from parts of my original Vandalism strat 😀 Definitely an iconic performance, any other band would try to look as professional/presentable as possible when on a huge award show but not Nirvana 😈
@@NirvanaGuitars MTV wanted them to play Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana refused. They tell rape me as an alternative and that scandalized the mtv people. they finally agreed to play lithium, but never tell nirvana what to do. that's why they played the intro of rape me.

The wait was worth it for the dedication for this is insane 😎
Awesome, this performance has always been one of my favs. That strat is awesome man I love you matched up the notes of the destruction section at the end
Thank you! This was the first take I did. After finishing it I thought I'd for sure have to redo it, wasn't sure if I was satisfied with the noise at the end. Sync'd it up with the video and was actually happy with how it came out so I didn't redo it 😊
If someone is wondering, if your using a Mustang GTX for this, use the Deluxe ‘65 instead of the Twin Reverb, max the gain and copy the rest from the video, use the last cabinet, it’s the closest I got with it
great cover! sounds exactly like the performance! i love this guitar, definitely on if my favorite kurt guitars! somehow i never noticed until now that there is a pick hanging out of the pickgaurd!
Thank you so much! My favorite Kurt strat after Vandalism 😃 I love this one too but objectively this guitar is kinda plain, so I had to add the pick haha a small but distinguishing feature!
Great video, I love the live versions of lithium as it is so much more grunge, would it be possible for you in the future to upload live nirvana tabs, as you have clearly mastered all of Kurt’s hidden ghost chords / licks.
Damn this sounded really good I love this it sound amazing and one question I wanna ask is how do you get the screech effect on you amp after playing a song
Hi eric im here again haha, What is the exact model of the Hot Rail? I'm thinking of putting one in my red Squier. By the way, it turned out really awesome, Congratulations.
If anyone wants to get pretty much any nirvana tone including this one; Get a telecaster. I have my dad's old 88 American standard sunburst Tele and maybe I just got a one off but I can get spot on to literally any Nirvana tone, it can even get close to his unplugged tone with the right settings! The neck pickup sounds like his Epiphone and honestly gets even closer to his sappy tone than Eric got with his epiphone (no offense lol) Both pickups at once sounds like his Jaguar tone when the tone is down bit and with the tone at max it can sound close to his mustang tone. The bridge pickup with the tone down sounds like his Jaguar's bridge pickup and the tone-up sounds like the Jag stang. The neck pickup like I said can get close to the unplugged tone but nowhere near identical. Hope this helps anyone trying to get Kurts tone but doesn't have the money to spend on any of his gear :)
@@NirvanaGuitars Hi! So i'm actually gonna be doing a tone youtube channel soon and I think I might start off with the nirvana tones from the tele. I'll probably do sappy first cause of how close I can get so ill be sure to tell you when its uploaded
Cool! I honestly have doubts that a telecaster can "get spot on to literally any Nirvana tone" but I'd love to be proven wrong and am looking forward to to your video 😃 Also I have not recreated any studio version Sappy yet. In my ET270 history video, I demo the cleans with the Sappy riff but that was not me seriously trying to recreate the smart sessions Sappy. I was just demoing what all the pickup positions sounded like on clean on whatever amp settings I happened to be on that day, i think I set them to my Pine Street theatre settings.
@@NirvanaGuitars Hi! Sorry this took so long, i'm only young and have got GCSES coming up soon so i've been pre occupied ruclips.net/video/FbBpCxWvXn8/видео.html That's the first of many tones to come, it's not perfect and i'm sure I could get closer but I just wanted to finally get something out lol. I've got almost spot on to sappys tone so i'm gonna do that next, the only reason I didn't upload that first is because I want to do a full cover of the song with me playing all the instruments but its coming soon!
Great job! As a fellow music gear-obsessed Nirvana fanatic, I salute your fantastic content. I would love to see you try to approximate the tone from the '93 SNL performance of Rape Me. The clean sound in particular is amazing...it sounds like it's cutting through glass. Kurt used a Univox Hi-Flyer with a JB in the bridge on that one.
Sounded exactly like the original
Thank you so much! 🙏

New guitar? this was epic! Krist dragging himself offstage, Kurt breaking the equipment and Dave looking for Axl.

This is one of the best Nirvana live tone covers. Can't wait to see more Live tones recreated.

Hi axl
If someone is wondering, if your using a Mustang GTX for this, use the Deluxe ‘65 instead of the Twin Reverb, max the gain and copy the rest from the video, use the last cabinet, it’s the closest I got with it
your wall is filled with every single guitar I have ever wanted
I still pinch myself when I walk into my music room
I'm just blown away by the similarity love you man.
Thank you so much!
Wow bro you nailed it nice.
Thank you!
bro this tone is close af good fuckin job
Thank you so much!

Nice!!!
Nice a vid a day before my birthday how lucky am I
Happy early birthday!! Hope you have a great one tomorrow 🥳
@@NirvanaGuitars thanks man
It was so good, especially the feedback and the end
Thank you!
This is crazy good! Even the Rape Me riff at the beginning sounded IDENTICAL!
Will there be any bass tone recreations in the future? Maybe ones with one of krist’s other basses?
I would like to but I don't have the right gear for that 😞 I can definitely do bass covers but not sure how close I'd get to Krist's tones
@@NirvanaGuitars I’d like to hop on one if you’re down
Wow so good love the tone rip kurt😢
Awesome video one of my fav kurt guitars
Thank you! My favorite strat of his after Vandalism
😮 it’s very accurate
Thank you!
Always dreamed of a white stratocaster😍, but in the end decided to buy a jaguar. Sorry for my bad english if i spelled it wrong😅
How not to forget when Krist threw his bass because it was not heard
Great as always.
Sounds awesome, will you do a tone recreation of 1992 Live at Reading with that guitar too?
Yes 😎
Noice cover bro,
Thank you! It's not Vandy but it's still a cool Kurt strat! 😉
i loved the way you recreated that noise at the end, that really surprised me!
So good!
Definitely one of the coolest tones Kurt ever got, always loved the way he trolled the audience before actually going into Lithium
the performance of lithium from the vmas is so good. always been a great song live but something about this particular performance just hits so hard
Agreed! My favorite performance of Lithium, the energy is unreal
Sounds great man!
the vma build is my favorite
I can't put it down 🤍
Sounds amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩 exactly like the original. Congrats 👏🏻 and thank you for the mencion, appreciate that 🤘🏻
Thank you so much!! Thank you also for your amazing backing trackings, you truly make the best ones!
Now it's the turn of the sunburst strat of the live at Reading, for a nirvana fan your videos are amazing
This channel is gold
This is 1st channel i come to for when i wanna sound like nirvana
It's sounds beautiful! nice tone, perfect work!
Thank you!
great cover! sounds exactly like the performance! i love this guitar, definitely on if my favorite kurt guitars! somehow i never noticed until now that there is a pick hanging out of the pickgaurd!

Your guitar game is awesome to hear nirvana 🔥🔥🔥❤️
Thank you!
Nice
Loved the side by side comparison!
Thank you!
NICE JOB MAN. got out of school and the second i did watched this. worth the wait
Thank you! 😊
!!!So cool!!! When i listening to this I thought i open the original MTV vma 1992. so awesome and accurate
Might be your best tone vid this sounds amazing ❤
Bro this shit is insane you're a maniac. Easily one of my favorite performances of Lithium, good shit. Keep it up, always love your stuff.
nice tone!
Thanks!
I love your stage destruction cover! 😂
Excellent!!! I love Nirvana and your videos 🫶🏻🫶🏻
This one of my favorite nirvana performances because of the rape me protest. Keep doing these!
Absolutely nailed it Eric, well done !!
Thank you!
Once again, you killed it. Well done mi amigo!
Thank you!
Love it man! Started following on Instagram after the unplugged acoustic build and love it all!!
hey man where can i find a ehx polychorus yknow the vintage on cause i kinda wanna get my grubby little hands on it
Definitely the best cover in my opinion, sounds exactly the same as the original
HI AXL
You even did that part where Nirvana trolled and played Rape Me and just went into Lithium, nice job my dude!
Couldn't skip that 😉 Thank you!
Your welcome!
Why does this sound so perfect oh yeah cuz nirvana guitars is playing it
🥹 🙏
Great job❤
thank you!
🔥🔥
Beautiful strat, I'd play it for hours (along with Skystang 1 ofc)
I can't put this one down!!
Sounds great
Super 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
AMAZING! like always!
Awesome!
I think you are the first to cover the destruction bit.
I really envy your tone ❤😢😢😢
I share my settings in hopes it will help others get the same or similar tone 😃
i was listening to this while grabbing a drink and i thought you were playing the reference clip
Yay! That means I'm doing something right 😀
oNCE AGAIN 10/10
Thank you so much!!
Great Video! I also just noticed that you haven’t done a live and loud tone video! That would be great to see.
Great video, I love the live versions of lithium as it is so much more grunge, would it be possible for you in the future to upload live nirvana tabs, as you have clearly mastered all of Kurt’s hidden ghost chords / licks.
bro you nailed but you can do in a next video the tone of nirvana in osaka , is the first show of the white strat.
Thank you! That's probably my favorite early 92 show. Great performance and great sounding audience recording
Very nice mate
this is great
I am seriously considering putting a hot rails in my early 2000's MIM Strat after watching this video.
It’s a good idea trust me! 😏
Sounds good
Damn this sounded really good I love this it sound amazing and one question I wanna ask is how do you get the screech effect on you amp after playing a song
Thank you! In my town home I can't have my amp loud enough to produce feedback, so I try to kind of mimic it with harmonics

I played it on my Gibson tribute, from my marschall dsl 5, it sounded similar,

yes, on my youtube channel, but I have to record some covers again, because they were recorded a long time ago.

I was thinking about selling my ds2 and getting a big muff, but today I used it with mode 1 and everything cranked and thought "this is all I need"
It also sounds sick on mode 2 with the tone knob rolled down, very similar to frusciante or clapton's woman tone
Hey! Nice cover like always. I have a question. Is the boss katana 50w a good amp for Nirvana tones?
i love the.. squarkyness? honkyness? either way its sick as hell
Tocó con esa Stratocaster en otra presentación? Buen video, felicitaciones 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
si, en osaka ruclips.net/video/uUHTzFs4UwE/видео.html
Thank you! He used it from February 92 to October 92. Notably it's last show was Argentina 10/30/92, that's where it got destroyed!
🤘🏻🎸❤️
Fantastic video!! Can you do the cow palace show in 1993
That's a great show!! Would love to try for that one
Amazing vid, I have a request can you recreate the BBC sessions
Yes! Not sure I have the right guitars for the 1990 sessions but I can try for the 1991 sessions

Please the BBC sessions where he played Something in the way with the feedbacks in it.

Hey can ask a question did kurt cobain use a bridge hot rails or a neck but dude you nail it great job
Thank you! Bridge hot rails
Dude you are so helpful that one of many reasons why I watch your videos thank you to great job on the tone it sounds like the same 😊❤️👍
@@sethcallen-pb4hm Thank you for watching! Happy to help in whatever way I can 😃
Question about the Khristore Vandalism Strat: Did you get to keep it?
Can't wait to use ai upscale on the Live And Loud Performance!
tunning?
HI AXL!
My Guy gonna get some serious noise complaints with that maxed out DS-2.
what other shows did Kurt play this strat on? I get this one confused with some of the other “two?” White strats
1:43 my favorite moment from this live, krist knows what it will be for them
P.S 5:39 oh i forgot about that
How do you get your clean tones to sound a bit crunchy??? It sounds amazing and I would absolutely love to try and utilize a similar sound myself!!
Great video what’s your favourite kurt cobain guitar 🎸?
