I’m working on nailing this first instead of my usual learning a riff or lick then moving on, noodling and time wasting. Other than that, I’ve re-re discovered at 55 the magic, timelessness, simplicity and beauty of Kurt and Nirvana, and their work along with their covers. So I’m concentrating on that body of work mate
@@geordiejohn3703 an excellent approach, oh me is really satisfying to play once you get it down. I remember my brother's friend playing it when I started playing and I thought he was a wizard - he lent me the hal leonard tab book and it's been in my repertoire ever since.
You either do a full barre or just a partial chord of the C, D, E chords from the D string up to the high e, slide between the chords and the picking pattern is roughly D string, high e, B, G, high e, B, G, high e on the first two chords. You can get pretty loose with it but it sounds lovely
I never liked to get too bogged down in thinking whether I'm playing an up or down as any additional instruction beyond chords and riffs can get in the way of listening. With that said, listen closely to the record and try and get nice and relaxed when you play it as slow as is comfortable for you, the rhythm will come. Roughly it's play the root note, the bass-iest note on a down and the first strum would be a down and the higher notes of the chord would be followed by a up-down-up-down kinda feel before the next chord. Try and work on the feeling of it and your picking hand will start to find the appropriate rhythm. Good luck! 🙂🎸
@@nova1315 yeah so you want to hear the notes sliding up. Not so much in the opening riff as ideally you'd have a bit of palm muting on the go but certainly when sliding between those "C shape" chords your down will be on the first chord and the strumming will follow the slide down to the next. Or slide up as in the latter part of the song. It's quite satisfying once you've got it down, it's not particularly rushed, it's a pretty chill song but if you can hold the c shape and move it between a normal open c and then the whole hand moved up two frets you'll be laughing
I can't figure this shit out for nothing lol I've been trying to figure out how to play guitar I can play a couple cords but that's it lol i can't play this for the life of me
Ok, what else have you been starting with? You'll be able to get this I promise might just take some time, take it slow, don't rush it, maybe try just the open chords without the riff for a bit?
@@AndyPlayedGuitar I'm a drummer not a guitar player I can play seven Nation army by the white stripes lol that's about it and it's probably not even the correct cords I don't know cords or anything
@@Fcp007 I don't think I'm hammering anything, though there might be a cheeky pull off on the first fret on the B string on the C chord after I've slid down two frets to the C? The rest is just strumming and the sound of sliding between the chords.
@@AndyPlayedGuitarI think he’s implying that you are teaching the wrong chords. Which is true. In fact they are bar chords played and not open ones. Just watch Curtis play it. Too easy to not get it right. Whatever you played at the end is completely wrong as well. If you are going to teach it, please take the time to tune correctly. Have a nice day.
@@mikemaas9944 my goal is to get people playing the guitar and have fun. Barre chords are hard for beginners and there is more than one guitar part being played. I got the chords I'm showing from the Hal Leonard tab book and they're usually pretty accurate. Thanks for explaining that guys comment as it was too vague!
Hey no mention at all that this is a cover of Meat Puppets. It's their song! Give them a bit of credit! Your Title should be Oh Me by Meat Puppets. But Nirvana gets more likes. ......still, C'mon! A good tutorial though and I think I might even be able to play at least some of it.
Oops, sorry! Good point! I guess I assumed folks would be coming from the unplugged album and Kurt credits them live. I'll update the description though, cheers! Andy
@@briangunn21 well look my point is that who wrote the song? Who created the song? And yet who gets all the credit in this posting? It’s a creation by the meat puppets and it’s being popularized by Nirvana with some of the meat puppets as back up musicians.
This song is so awesome. Thanks for your help. I had no idea I could play this
Glad I could help! It's one of my favourite songs
Awesome. Thanks a bunch dude!
No problem! 🎸
During the unplugged concert they also played this using a quarter instead of a pick pretty cool
I didn't know that!
Thanks mate just what I needed. Good tutorial
Cheers! Glad it helped!

Thank you! Glad it's been useful!
Great job Man !!!! keep going on !
Thanks a lot!

Awesome, thank you! What else are you working on at the moment?

Thanks Andy, yeah great minds and all that 😂 I’ve got the book arriving in a couple of days can’t wait to dive in 🎸 😊
Thank you
Simple thanks
Thanks! It's really satisfying to play isn't it?
amazing didactic
Thanks a million!!!!!!
No problem! What else are you learning at the moment?
Good Tutorial 👌🏻👍
Thank you! Cheers!
After playing the C @01:20 I bend the E string at the 2nd fret before playing the E. Try it, you'll like it.
You rock 😘👍🏼👍🏼
No, YOU rock!
Vert good! Thrank's 🙂🎈
Cheers from Ukraine!Good lesson!
Thank you! It's one of my favourite songs 🙂 I hope you and your family are okay out there.
How do i do the arpeggio at the end? What is the left hand position?
You either do a full barre or just a partial chord of the C, D, E chords from the D string up to the high e, slide between the chords and the picking pattern is roughly D string, high e, B, G, high e, B, G, high e on the first two chords. You can get pretty loose with it but it sounds lovely
@@AndyPlayedGuitar Thank you!
Can you show. That song called. I know it’s over. The smiths
I'll add it to my list :)
niice
whats the strum pattern???
I never liked to get too bogged down in thinking whether I'm playing an up or down as any additional instruction beyond chords and riffs can get in the way of listening.

Try and work on the feeling of it and your picking hand will start to find the appropriate rhythm. Good luck! 🙂🎸
@@AndyPlayedGuitar with slides and what not are you supposed to do it really qucikly and apply a steady pressure the whole way?
@@nova1315 yeah so you want to hear the notes sliding up. Not so much in the opening riff as ideally you'd have a bit of palm muting on the go but certainly when sliding between those "C shape" chords your down will be on the first chord and the strumming will follow the slide down to the next.

@@AndyPlayedGuitar I'm a drummer not a guitar player I can play seven Nation army by the white stripes lol that's about it and it's probably not even the correct cords I don't know cords or anything
Can you explain what other frets you’re hammering when you do both C shapes
@@Fcp007 I don't think I'm hammering anything, though there might be a cheeky pull off on the first fret on the B string on the C chord after I've slid down two frets to the C? The rest is just strumming and the sound of sliding between the chords.
There’s a little extra in both C shapes
I like! subs
Cheers!
No, not at all my friend.
Sorry, I don't understand the comment!

Not really a cover. They played together
