    In this The Man Who Sold The World Unplugged guitar lesson, I will show you how to play Nirvana's cover of this David Bowie classic off of their MTV Unplugged album.
    Before trying to follow along with this video lesson or the original recording, you will need to tune your guitar down 1/2 step to (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).
    Through a lot of the song there are two separate guitar parts being played. We will have Kurt Cobain's guitar parts which include the main melody lines and solo, and also Pat Smear's guitar parts which include the moving bass line during the chorus sections.
    Both guitarists strum the same chord progression during the verse, but you will learn the slight variations on these chords that each of them plays.
    Hopefully who have a friend you can play this with because it all sounds pretty cool when it comes together. Enjoy! #themanwhosoldtheworldguitarlesson #nirvana #guitarcovers

    Your lessons are so accurate not like most of the tutorials where they teach u somehow with anything not sounding like original also by doing the easy version. There's no originality in those cheap videos. You give the best original lessons by taking the time & breaking into parts and upload it for 2nd and 3rd time too ❤️

  • @cdiana1

    Carl- another great lesson. You probably figured this out but both Nirvana and Bowie use the Mixolydian scale with a minor 7th for the riff that begins the chorus. C Mixolydian for Bowie and B for Nirvana.

    @nick.doubleu 4 года назад +10

    Thanks for the instruction - very helpful for a beginner. One note, the “mistake” isn’t a mistake at all - it’s an accurate recreation of what Bowie did with the vocal chorus. Give it a listen. Thanks again.

    • @alexs0105
      @alexs0105 2 года назад +1

      Really? I always thought that it was a mistake. Hmmm interesting...

    • @cobussy
      @cobussy Год назад +1

      it actually was a mistake, kurt never played it like that in any other performance. even in the rehearsal version he plays it without the mistake, though he does seem to hit the b string on the 11th fret at a different point, but it seemed more like he was noodling with it.
      the reason he messed up on the actual unplugged performance is because he started the solo before the cello, which threw him off. in the rehearsal he waits for it to kick in first and then go into it, hence why he didn’t make the mistake on that take.

    • @ChrisB8711
      @ChrisB8711 7 лет назад +2

      oxrjbizzle1984y yeah you're right Kurt def had his own style when it comes to guitar. Im familiar with a lot of his chord shapes but this A was a new one for me. I always thought he'd just barre it. Either way I love Kurt's playing style an he's one of my biggest influences. Now his vocals....he was on some next level, an to think he thought he was a bad singer....HA id kill for a fraction of his talent

  • @rupert916
    @rupert916 4 года назад +16

    I think Kurt struggled with guitar. Even admitted it himself. Probably had a hard time playing the F chord and did what he could. More of a song writer and singer than a player

    • @xalalalala
      @xalalalala 4 года назад +3

      I think that the problem wasn't the chords really it was how he interpreted what Kurt Cobain was doing. The F chord wasn't a power chord at all. It was a F chord with the D string suppressed and sometimes pressing the G string a bit harder which resulted in that alternative sound. Keep in mind that Kurt Cobain used the middle finger to build the chord. It's a common technique in grunge music. It allows to simultaneously produce a filled chord but also switch between chords quickly.

    Which came as a surprise
    I spoke into his eyes
    I thought you died alone
    A long long time ago
    Oh no, not me
    We never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world
    I laughed and shook his hand
    And made my way back home
    I searched for form and land
    For years and years I roamed
    I gazed a gazeless stare
    We walked a million hills
    I must have died alone
    A long, long time ago
    Who knows?
    Not me
    I never lost control
    You're face to face
    With the man who sold the world

    Kurt was a great singer but not a great Guitarrista but this song is quite complexed when you hear the original version of Bowie..I love that sitar in terms of harmony you can make it sound more interesting and Kurt was a not guitar composer in that sense he played simple chords. His forte was in his voice I'm the opposite maybe..
