Nirvana - Blew (Guitar Cover)

- Опубликовано: 13 янв 2025
- The very first sound we hear on the very first Nirvana studio album - Krist Novoselic’s rumbling seven-note bass figure in “Blew” - is so low-toned as to be almost indecipherable. The reason? Nirvana, like many of their Seattle peers, favored “drop-D” tuning, which involves lowering the bottom E string on a guitar or bass one whole tone. But when Kurt and Krist dropped their lowest strings during the recording of Bleach, they didn’t realize their respective instruments were already tuned down a full step. The consequence was that they went “one lower,” to a positively leaden “drop-C.” Which, in the case of “Blew,” essentially plunged Kurt’s languid vocals and loping melodies into a tar pit. Novoselic later described the resultant sound as “doom pop,” and pointed to Bleach‘s leadoff track as the only C-tuned track to actually make it to the album without being recut. Perhaps not coincidentally, he also called “Blew” his favorite song on the record. “It has a groove,” he explained in Seattle Weekly, “and it’s the sole survivor of the Doom Pop experiment.” Luckily, contemporary bands like Torche seem to have continued his research.
Tuning: D, A, D, G, B, F
Equipment used: Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar, Boss DS-1 and Fender Mustang IV amp
Lyrics: Now If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
And if you wouldn't mind I would like to lose
And If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
And If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe
Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew stress and strain
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
Now If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
And If you wouldn't mind I would like to lose
And If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
And If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe
Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew stress and strain
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe who we knew stress and strain
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
Nirvana Blew Paramount Guitar Cover
Holly shit, even the "broken" movements you got, kurt's tempo is quite peculiar, beautifuly done, im impressed.
Hey guys! Blew have to be one of my top five Nirvana songs and I just love the live version of it too. Didn't practice it or anything, so hope it's not to much off, but as it's grunge it should probably be ok anyhow. Be sure to leave a like and a comment.

Please do happy guitar, pleassseeee!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dooo it
love buzzzzzzzzzzzz
Please do About a girl live in pine street theatre
Yo tom i suggest that you cover marigold by nirvana its in the with the lights out album and its sung by david grohl
You could do anything.
O K
Reminds me of that key and Peele skit YOU CAN DO ANYTHING you can literally fly
Hands down my favorite Nirvana song. The guitar is awesome, the drums are perfect, and the bass is downright powerful and super fun to play. I have to say that you covered it perfectly.
Breathtaking.
This the best version of blew based of the intensity they didn’t miss a beat this show
As a huge Nirvana fan myself, hats off to you sir. The dedication to playing it EXACTLY like the live footage with crazy unorthodox tuning is just amazing. Epic cover, I’m going to go try this one myself.
Really good job. Nirvana was the reason I started playing especially since kurt was a lefty like myself. The cords are fairly simple and sound awesome.
I want that Jaguar so badly, also an overdrive pedal,. Maybe a chorus pedal too, and then maybe a Yamaha MT-07
Nah, a katana
Your videos make me very happy. The very best a guy can get in the way of replica nirvana guitar work. Hats off to you
Your energy gave me chills, rock on dude that was fucking awesome Kurt would be Proud.
You’re an absolute legend
Bloody L E G E N D
Daaaaamn good solo and the first string in F!!!
Love that you chose to play along with that live version. One of my favorite live songs
You were full of energy on this one!
Also, that was the best cover of Blew I have ever seen! Great job!
Great cover! You even used the same pick as Kurt. Very nice little detail
I use the same pick he uses too
@@Corehinduism shut up fatso
I use the same pick as John Frusciante.
Musicians tend to use the same gear their idols use
Pedro Augusto saw you on another RHCP lmao. Good taste my guy.
Your videos are always so damn accurate 🤘🏻 love this
Probably my fav nirvana song, excellent cover my man
Favorite nirvana song, in more into metal and thrash more than alternative but this song is so damn heavy. Love it!!
R.I.P. Kurdt
Kurt*
@@fat_man_lukas8129 I know. That Kurdt thing is just kind of meme
@@fat_man_lukas8129 They used to call him Kurdt as a joke. It even says Kurdt on the credits of their album Bleach.
@@VBESIEN You do realize that is because of the band Metal Church right?
THANKS FOR TUNING
Kurt would be so proud to hear such dedication to his legacy, thank you 😊
You put so many emotions into those songs. I love that
Didn't know the story about the tuning ! Very good cover with the pefect sound, as always ! ;)
The solo on the studio recording is probably my favorite solo from Kurt tbh so underrated!
Amazing! I like how you put so much passion in it, keep it up
Another very enjoyable video. These are great since I'm really getting back into guitar and haven't played some of these songs in years it's like a refresher course.
Great live performance of Blew and a terrific cover, nicely done
Extraordinary as always
The best covers of nirvana
You should tour! I’d definitely pay 50-100 to see it

First of all, a merry Christmas for you. Another great video with a beautiful Nirvana interpretation. I also recently purchased a Fender Jaguar KB and fender blues jr amp. What setting are you using in your amps for a clean NIRVANA sound? Volume-treble-bass-middle-master-, please?
Good job
I want you to the blee version from the bleach studio album version
Cool man! True Nirvana!
He even did the anti solo! What a fucking god!
Amazing! You should do polly from wiskah

Hola me gusta tu pasión como tocas las canciones de Nirvana , y tocas muy bien te felicito ya tienes un nuevo fan , acá desde Perú te mando un fuerte abrazo sigue así , no dejes de tocar nunca ok . bye
very nice x)
Quick dumb question: How is it possible to tune the high E on F?
I love all 4 or i guess 3 albums ( Incesticide was pretty much a lost tapes album.) but Bleach is probabaly the grungiest album by Nirvana. Good Job Tom! Oh, btw what are your top 10 favorite bands? Excluding no 1 :)
Mine are in no particular order, Nirvana(obviously) Beatles, Sunny Day Real Estate, Foo Fighters, Pantera, Fugazi, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, blink-182, Pearl Jam. Im also into Soundgarden, Minor Threat, Metallica, Alice in Chains, Hole, Helmet and many more bands.
I remember you had a Blew cover live on Muddy bank, what happened to that video? I love that version and I always watched your cover 😭👌🏻
Hmm, I barely remember that one, but it got deleted when I uploaded this I guess. Thanks for watching!
Yeah rock
Did you ever go to a Nirvana concert when they were still around? And what will you do when you run out if their songs to cover?
You should try playing the About A Girl home demo.
I know you just did come as you are, but can you do the live at loud version?
dude how
, (upstairs , cramped , wall right up against face of eager ~ toned passion)
*i m m m e n s e L y authentic* , Sir
Legende

Will you cover the album version?
Maybe I will..
Tomnedreb ;)

can you please give me your amp settings lml,
How did you set Effect? The sound is so good. You are the best guitarist.
Your literally Kurt Cobain 😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏SO GOOD
Hey bro, kickass cover btw. I was just wondering where you got that cobain signature? do they still make them?
Where's your old cover of Blew?
i like this song a bit
k maybe alot
what kind of guitar efect ? nice sound . please tell me hmmm
Hey! Check description for effects.
Good sound, congratulations!
What guitar string gauge are you using on JAGUAR KB?
when kurt was singing in live shows for example MTV live and loud 1993.Did he screamed when he did the rasp in Sliver? Also nice cover belw is one of my favourite.
Which part? Verse, Chorus, Bridge?
honest to god I dont think there's a person on earth that plays these songs as close to Kurt as you.
Brillant
Do unknown 3
ROCK THAT SHIT MY BRO
please give tabs to your songs... you re playing them in different way than I do and it sounds better
Can you do love buzz?
What are you amp and pedal settings ? I’m finding it so hard to copy the tone
Hey Tom. Great cover! How much did your Jag cost?
I payed about 1000 pounds when I bought it.
Christ! How much would that be in Norwegian money?
Is that the K.C replica guitar? I have one and i find the switch to not work so well. Was thinking about getting a better one put in.
Yes, it is, but I never had any problems with the switch...
@@Tomnedreb Thanks, could be a lemon then.
