I could be wrong, but I have always thought that VCV and Old Age were maybe Strat songs? I'm hoping my current strat build that's in the works will help get close to those but we'll see
As for YKYR, I've been wanting to do that one for a long time but I am struggling with how I am going to replicate that insane feedback that happens after the first chorus. My goal has always been to not only replicate tones but also the playing style. Tone wise that one is no problem, but to replicate Kurt's mastery of feedback control is hard!
I've been listening to Nirvana since 1993 and can play every song that's seen the light of day on drums... I would absolutely love to jam Nirvana all day with you man! You sound identical to Kurt...
The tones are incredible, I was surprised to hear the massive amount of change in tonal quality and characteristics between each guitar, all of them sounded very different from each other, this video puts to rest all the false beliefs that Kurt's tone was very easy to acquire.
I love Nirvana and your channel was the whole reason I really started listening to them. Some of my favorite songs by Nirvana would probably be: Mr. Mustache, Aneurysm, Sappy, Marigold, School, Territorial Pissings, and Tourette’s. Your channel has also been a huge inspiration to get back into guitar, and to start trying to build Kurt guitars of my own. I hope you have a wonderful day and keep creating the amazing recreations of the gorgeous guitars that Kurt had throughout the years. R.I.P. Kurt ❤
I'm very impressed, not only at how close you've come with replicating the various tones he used, but in how authentic the playing is on a lot of these. You really have a lot of those little Kurtisms down. A good example of this is your chord strumming on Come As You Are. That guitar combined with your technique sounds totally like Kurt. Then on Heart Shaped Box, the riff is very accurate and you also get that little moment -- Kurt liked to upstroke a couple strings of a chord without a whole lot of regard to which exact strings he was going to play. Generally in the D-G-B area. He did this in a bunch of songs, like Rape Me.
Whenever I’m sharing my AirPods with other person I always put on son of a gun and their reaction to the sudden fire alarm at the beginning is always priceless 😂
This cat is a dope ass guitar player. Watching all his videos has made me realize that I never really learned many all of the riffs of nirvanas catalog. Watching him do the rhythms of basically every album track by track has inspired me to do a video doing the songs just for myself
Ima just lay it out here, I'd you ever wanna cover any other band, I'm 100% down. Your videos are just so cozy, crazy informative and fun! Love all your stuff! :)
Brilliant, tone, playing style, very impressive, amazing to see smells like teen spirit not number one for a change Kurt was so much more than that riff. Serve the servants and dive - very under rated riffs in my opinion. My number one is radio friendly unit shifter along with come as you are, different ends of the spectrum but my two favourite nirvana songs ever.
NOOO, i wanted to see the premiere the second it got out but i was busy writing a song, love your stuff man keep going ill try to get to the next premiere
Great riffs to play for sure!! I was hoping for Endless Nameless because I personally thought the song was genius in the way of how a song would usually need chords and a catchy riff but, Endless Nameless proved that you can write anything from a guitar tbh in my own personal opinion which is why I love it a lot. My favorite riff from this list was Big Cheese!! Keep it up ❤
Does anyone notice hes doing a similar playing sryle to kurt cobain, which i recommend because it makes it handier to move around the fret board and gives u time for placement while playing fast,its where u stretch ur hand away from the fret board between chords and melodies, its a very smart move
Eric, do you ever think you'll get a Harmony Stella 12 string model? That was the nevermind acoustic used for Polly. It'd be interesting to see in the future, also great recreations!
I actually just missed out on one a few weeks ago!! That one still hurts, I thought I was going to get it lol 🥲 I've been keeping an eye out for one for a long time, hoping to find a good deal eventually
They are!! The one I saw was a local listing for $400. I was freaking out when I found that. Tried making plans with the seller to get it, but then they said "it has been sold, I just forgot to take the listing down." I was heartbroken lol
Your great at replicating kurt one of the best.. you should consider doing a full tutorial on how to play Nirvana songs now be a teacher of sorts your great at explaining things!
In mr moustache when he starts sing im new you actually have to start gowing half a stelp lower on you power cords from 3 g chord. It makes more sense what i said if you listen to the song very closely
That guitar is such an anomaly, 2 single coils but sounds absolutely massive and thick with distortion. Especially when paired with a DS-1. I can see why Kurt favored while he had it, but will never understand why he destroyed it beyond repair. I've always wondered if he ended up regretting trashing that one, it's such an amazing guitar!
Every time you see the ET270 in this video, I am using my Pine Street settings with it 😃 Those settings are shown here: ruclips.net/video/Pkc88Zd_U84/видео.html
Oh, my comment vanished. ... There were also the ET-275, ET-278, and ET-290 models that were Epiphone Crestwood or Wilshire type, but with full-sized humbuckers instead of P90s or Mini Humbuckers. Those look good to me, and Ricky Wilson (B-52s) had one, but not as his primary. ET-275: With -Tremolo- Vibrato* Tailpiece like the ET-270. (I refuse to call the tailpiece what it is not, unlike Fender.) ET-278: I've seen one with the Vibrato Tail, but this is *supposed* to have a Gibson TOM style Stoptail. ET-290: I've seen one in Natural (Stripped?) and one that was in a sort of Red Burst, with the Red on the edges. These have a Gibson TOM style Tailpiece, and this is the one Ricky had. * Vibrato means "changing pitch." Tremolo means "changes of volume." Fender's been goofing up the two for decades on end.
Hi Eric I love this video. The Best Riff On Here Was I Hate Myself And Want To Die. I think that song is very underrated. But you could have added Lithium, Drain You, Polly, Dumb, Something In The Way, and Endless Nameless.
So, I'm not sure where the best place to post this question is, so I guess that I'll start here: In your covers, what would you say the ratio for power chords to barre chords is? Kurt's generally associated with power chords, but I think that internet forums have a habit of downplaying his willingness to use more complex chord shapes in his songs, which makes it that much harder to get an authentic Nirvana tone at home. This question is of personal importance to me, since your videos have inspired me to give guitar another try in my late 20s after not playing it for a few years, and I'd love to know how to get the *best* Nirvana tones. Thank you!
I’d love to see a video in the same vein as your Ivy League video walking through Beeswax, that’s a song I don’t think I’ve seen played correctly until this video
That'd be a good one to make a lesson for! Honestly I'm not 100% sure if I'm playing the chorus part right, but to my ears that's what it sounds like he's doing in the studio version
@@NirvanaGuitars Oh! I thought only solid state amps had direct outs on the back, not tube amps. Looks like I'll be trading in my AC30. Great work, subbed.
- Dale Demo settings are in my Spank Thru cover - Bleach studio settings in my Bleach tone video - Pine Street Theatre (the ET270 songs) has it's own video - All Nevermind era tracks are my late 91 Nevermind tour settings - Smells Like Teen Spirit has it's own video - Curmudgeon has it's own video - In Utero tracks are all my In Utero tour settings - Unplugged has it's own video
Thank you for asking!! I have now pinned a comment that has links to every one of those videos, so hopefully that will help everyone who is looking for these settings 😀
Ok....I'm new to guitar,but I've never seen anyone tuck their pinky so far under the guitar till I thought you only had 3 fingers on your left hand! Had to rewind video to find other finger!
Incesticide is tricky as it's a compilation album ranging from 1988 to 1991. There's A LOT of different tones and gear in that album. I'll be doing tone videos for individual songs on that album, like I have for Dive. The dale demo songs that are on that album are coming soon (mexican seafood, aero zeppelin, beeswax, downer)

15:03 to me this is their best riff. So damn heavy and breathtaking. Its like if adrenaline was canalized to a riff
Yea it's actually my favorite Nirvana song
yes oh my god it’s so good
Played with my band when we were 15 this was so cool
Yes Blew Is One Of The Most Popular Songs On Bleach
I think in bloom is one of their best
Now just wait for full recreation of Incesticide and outtake songs like Verse Chorus Verse
Don't forget the outtake old age
Nah we need that You know you’re right recreation
These are all great songs, I'd love to see VCV and YKYR covered
I could be wrong, but I have always thought that VCV and Old Age were maybe Strat songs? I'm hoping my current strat build that's in the works will help get close to those but we'll see

Respect for changing shirts for each era
I wore the same shirt in this whole video! But that would've been a good idea haha didn't think of that
@@NirvanaGuitarsCome as you are tshirt is different at 13:40.
Nice vid bro!
He didn’t tho
he wears the unplugged shirt for all apologies
always amazes me how different each riff is
I've been listening to Nirvana since 1993 and can play every song that's seen the light of day on drums...
I would absolutely love to jam Nirvana all day with you man!
You sound identical to Kurt...

Amazing! A Nirvana fan that doesnt hate popular songs just because theyre popular
impossible!! teen spirit bad!
Really happy you put radio friendly unit shifter 1st, that riff is beastly, also really fun to play
I’m surprised drain you didn’t make the list. That song is ridiculously fun to play
Same With Lithium, Polly, Dumb, Something In The Way, And Very Ape.
@@Georgeisjawa and About A Girl
@@najlis1784 yup. That’s another great one.
@@Georgeisjawa or endless, nameless or Rape Me
This is one of those songs that you may not want to play, but you still play when you pick up the guitar.
the best top of Nirvana's riffs, everything here is amazing selection of riffs, guitars, everything

I hope you have a wonderful day and keep creating the amazing recreations of the gorgeous guitars that Kurt had throughout the years. R.I.P. Kurt ❤
Great video! You should do one were you create five original riffs in the style of each studio album nirvana has ever recorded.
😮 That's a really cool idea!!
@@NirvanaGuitars yes! I’d definitely watch that (not that I don’t watch all of them already lmao)
Can You Do one with the tone from I Hate Myself And Want To Die?
I'm very impressed, not only at how close you've come with replicating the various tones he used, but in how authentic the playing is on a lot of these. You really have a lot of those little Kurtisms down.

Can wait for Incesticide, In Utero, Dale Demo, Fecal Matter, Nirvana 1988 and Bleach Tour Stuff! Good job man keep up the good work 😊
the radio shack music videos...
Ima just lay it out here, I'd you ever wanna cover any other band, I'm 100% down. Your videos are just so cozy, crazy informative and fun! Love all your stuff! :)
Great playing and riff choices!
Thank you!
Paper cuts man! ❤ I loved it as well as Negative Creep 🤟😎

@@NirvanaGuitars thanks man i look up to your skill you're awesome man
0:35 Krist Novoselic left the chat
Love how u hold bleach so highly. Best album ever
12:55 *hey hey hey hey hey hey hey*
I like how jazzmaster is all of my favourite nirvana songs.
Some of the Bleach and Incesticide riffs remind me how underrated Kurt was. Hats off for Big Cheese 👌
Big Cheese Is My Favorite Song On Bleach.
Lol Mr. mustache was so on point it’s crazy
Kurt wrote so many awesome riffs it’s hard to pick a favorite. Great video!
Great riffs to play for sure!!

Paper Cuts is just such an amazing riff. It's haunting, yet so rock outable
The most djenty nirvana riff…but doesn’t even sound that djenty

I know right?? Here's to both of us hopefully finding a reasonably priced Stella Harmony soon 🤞 🤞
I'm dying to hear him try the demo drain you with the competition Mustang, I wanna build one soo bad
Amazing video as always! All the tones are spot on. I'm curious about your Vandalism Strat, does it have the 59N in it?
This is impressive. Congrats!
Your great at replicating kurt one of the best.. you should consider doing a full tutorial on how to play Nirvana songs now be a teacher of sorts your great at explaining things!
12 hours can't wait to watch
good picks. especially unit shifter

1. this music
"this music is great, dude."
Number 1 is so true, great list
In mr moustache when he starts sing im new you actually have to start gowing half a stelp lower on you power cords from 3 g chord. It makes more sense what i said if you listen to the song very closely
Nvm you did it sry didnt notice my bad
the riffs on bleach shows he could be very technical when he wanted to.
Surprised drain you isn't there, but radio Friendly Unit Shifter Is a great choice at number 1 also dive at 2 is perfect two great songs
It hurts a little that drain you didn’t make it but hey it’s you opinion so I respect it. All of these are still really good picks
I like your videos thay are a lot of fun to watch
I love how the guitar in breed speaks to you or is it just me
Your the first one I e seen play the intro to teen spirit correctly.
Excellent job on the strumming.
perfect sound bro!!
beeswax goes so incredibly hard
