- It's finally here! The Nirvana In Utero Veleno that Kurt Cobain used to record In Utero. This guitar is rare and belonged to Steve Albini that was brought along to the recording session at Pachyderm Studio. This has been a journey building one for myself, and I'm so glad to finally share it with you all.
Cobain was so ahead of his time. I had no idea what i was hearing in 7th grade. Now at 42 i am still in awe. What an artist.
Yeah i'm about the same age and remember exactly when i heard Teen Spirit for the first time. Everything at that time was leftover 80's music or that early 90's pop-ish music. When Teen Spirit hit it was like wtf is thisssss, haha. I remember getting out of bed and calling the little radio station here to ask what the hell band that just was. Good times. RIP Kurt
@GirlsScareMe so accurate. New kids on the block, Def lep, to nirvana. Then it was all amazing for the next 10 years. Loved the 90s
Not really
He was one of a kind..Kurt forever
In awe of what? 4 frigging chords and mopey lyrics played at a mind numbing tempo?
Grunge was fucking garbage.
YES I CAN FINALLY SLEEP PEACEFULLY, he uploaded 😌
Bro this comment spoke to me like nothing else today lol 😂
Most relatable comment ever

Literally
I wish the guy with the red jagstang would do this
Aaron... Dude I just have to say thank you for all the blood, sweat and massive amounts of cash you've put into actually decoding/demystifying Kurt's various guitar sounds over the years. You have single handedly done more to bring that knowledge to all of us. Fucking incredible work from the a-symmetric distortion of the quad with a missing tube to actually building the secret guitars of In Utero… There is no one else even close to what you've done. I've always wanted an aluminum guitar since hearing Buzz, SunnO)) and Albini! You did an amazing job building your own. Selling some of them is an incredible idea and will make people who would never get to play, much less see one a reality! I've always wanted to make a jaguar or mosrite shaped one as they're my 2 fav body shapes. Hopefully, someday I'll have the money to do my own or buy one from you. Anyway, great work, bro! Dont stop living the dream, homie!
Steve still has the guitar that Kurt used and it’s available for anyone to use if you book time at his studio. I used it for all the guitar overdubs on the EP I recorded up in Chicago with Steve. Was a very cool moment for me as a huge Kurt fan. Steve said the pickups had been changed since Kurt used it but other than that it’s “the one” Kurt used
What studio is it?
rest in punk albini 🕊️🕊️

Though I definitely agree you should move onto different guitar tones and I would absolutely come back to watch those, you have definitely solidified yourself as THE channel to go to for guitarists who want to achieve the Nirvana tone, especially the In Utero-era tone. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into these videos, I’m sure I’m not the only one who really appreciates it!
whenever I want that nirvana tone, I just put on a Nirvana record.
@@williamwinn948 I totally agree! This Aaron dude should get a life!
Aaron just stop being this freaking Kurt Cobain wannabe, man... Same tones, same clothing... Geez! Get a life, develop your own personality!
One KC is enough and fine as it is, get over it! I bet Cobain would hate this copycat/cult following content. This whole channel is so depressing.
Dang it would be wild if you made the headstock a “U” shape (instead of “V”) and called it the “Utero” still paying homage but incorporating that otherworldly “UFO” feel that it embodies. Truly incredible job you did on this, it’s a work of art
Great idea actually. My vote is on this. "Kurt" is kind of a bad guitar name imo.
My vote on ‘Utero’ as well.
I'm voting 🗳 U as well..!!
You'd better do this vote over now that the U has been mentioned. The "Utero" is much much better dude! Because it's from that album that matches that guitar.
And sorry to say, but the "Kurt" is kind of lame. Sorry buds.
anything like just simply "Utero" or maybe "Valutero" as some sort of combo name, but not Kurt. It's corny.
@@amazingamer360Valutero lol Velero+value+utero
Why did he use all these incredibly rare objects to make the albums 😭😭😭
Some of them became rare because of him
Maybe kurt liked rare guitars
He knew
Use the same things as everyone else and your gonna sound like everyone else.
most of what he used was considered old junk at the time - prices on gear have climbed like crazy in the past few decades. even just since the mid-00s when I started playing, prices then for a lot of this stuff were still accessible and now they're out of reach for the majority of people.
Dude I A/B’ed your tone in the intro with HSB and your tone is just a touch louder and more bassy and that’s the only difference. It’s nuts how far you’ve come in terms of tone
Dude whatever it is you are playing at 5:56 Needs to be a full release now. Sounds amazing
Omg i litterly need that
I immediately said out loud, "What's that!?" I thought I had missed out on some older song. 😅
I love that kinda 'melody' and in fact it's very fitting with my own music.
Same here im trying to figure out what tf it is!!!!
It sounds like Kurt singing in the background under the playing
That is one of the best tone I ever hear!
Job done, it's been a heck of a journey and getting to hear all the Nirvana tones, Merci !!!
Been thinking about it and waiting, I'm really glad it's finally here. Love your videos.
Thanks dude. The quality and dedication has being amazing. Loom forward to what the future holds😊
This and quad reverb vid have been a joy to watch. Nice work!
When I was in my mid teens I had a VHS copy of Nirvana Live Tonight Sold Out. Pausing over and over on the right spots I eventually figured out how to play a power chord, and that set me on my way from there. So Kurt inspired me to play guitar, I know what you mean.
Nice work! It’s amazing that the tones that Kurt had were so unique and off the beaten path.
Your videos are always shot so beautifully. Everything looks so pretty while I’m learning about perfect Cobain tones!
Each time you post, I'm always left completely blown away. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and the knowledge you've gained along the way. Congrats Aaron, this is truly an incredible achievement.
also, i love how all your videos are like a movie, i really like that, that is something truly special in your videos dude
I cannot express how amazing this is. Thank you for everything you have done around Nirvana tones and looking forward to buying one "Kurt" of my own. (if I will be able to afford it, hopefully I will). Also super excited for the Engine pedal. Keep doing what you doing because we LOVE IT!
this whole research for a tone was really inspirational man, everything is so creative
The final result sounds and look amazing!! cant wait for the preorders, this has been such a cool journey
Your videos on this tone chasing journey are so... personal. It's so cool to see someone relentlessly chase after something that a good majority of people would just shirk off or move on from. Whatever you're doing next, I'm here for it.
Omg finally I've been waiting for a new upload everyday since the last one, and the Veleno is finally here, I'm so happy
It's not getting old for me! Keep doing what you doing! I enjoy it! I never seen anyone get that dead on Kurt sound until you came along! I appreciate your work! Thank You!
Been waiting for this video every Sunday! Good on you!
Aaron, your videos are awesome. They are so well done and thought out
I just wanna say, this is honestly the most impressive thing I’ve seen on RUclips in years. It’s been so great to follow you on this project. I think I started watching when the sappy video came out and thinking “holy shit this guy knows what he’s doing”. So impressive man and it’s just so cool to see it all complete now. I can’t wait to see your next project if you choose one and follow that journey. Congratulations man!
your videos are so simple, but yet so complex and beautiful, keep up the great work, always a good watch!
I have been following you for a while now. Kurt is the reason I started playing guitar and trying to replicate that sound is something that I, even after all these years, was still looking for and I found you. It has been a fantastic journey, thank you. Your filming and editing skills are top notch and you have a calming personality. You went so far above and beyond and had some absolutely amazing opportunities along the way. You totally nailed it!!! I've been listening to Nirvana for over 30 years and watching you on your journey has been the best thing since they came out with Unplugged. A comprehensive encyclopedia of Kurt's rig. I'm wicked proud of you for what you have done, thank you. I'm excited for what's next...
AMAZING story and journey!! Congrats Aaron!!
FINALLY, this is awesome. I love the way the guitar sounds. You nailed it. I like how spanky it sounds clean.
Your first video of this "tone-chase" was randomly brought up in my recommendations only a few days after uploading and I watched EVERY single video since then. I am absolutetely obsessed with that tone and watching you not only recreating but also making the tone available for others is so awesome! Your video production is insane as well. I like to come back to some of your video intros just to vibe with the music. If you ever plan to release your original music in that style and with that sound, I am absolutely down for that!!! Thank you so fxcking much Aaron for your hard work, dedication, motivation and just overall for everything you put into that. It has brought me so much joy and I am more than happy to hear that you will continue to make videos after this journey. Stay strong, King!
Been waiting a lot for this one. Great work, Aaron. BTW, don’t hurry with ‘ending Nirvana sounds’ - you wanted to get Engine done + Utah speaker IRs
Finally commenting on this video, this is the project of yours I’m most eager for, like it’s literally all I can think about when it comes to music and guitars in particular. I first learned about Veleno’s and Kurt’s useage of one back when I was in 8th grade and voraciously consumed any piece of Nirvana/Kurt related media and info I could find and have wanted one ever since. I don’t usually pray but man I am praying I am able to order one from you when pre orders become available. Thank you for all your amazing work your channel is one of my top if not absolute favorite channels on RUclips. Thank you so much man keep up the killer work.
Never old, it’s been a beautiful journey. Greetings from Australia, your nicest man on RUclips. I love your personal tone. Been missing you mate, enjoyed reruns for the past 2mths. Well done,hold your head high.
Aaron, I can’t wait to get one of these guitars! Thank you for doing what you’ve been doing.
You really are the pinnacle of this whole Nirvana Tone craze, I suspect a lot of people are gonna move on to new, more interesting things when you wrap up this journey. Thanks for all the great videos these past couple of years man, I can’t wait to snag an aluminum guitar and see what you do next
i found your channel after the (last0 quad reverb video and have been checking back every singe day awaiting the next release. this is by far the most anticipated content in my life. i love everything you do man. such an inspiring creator. really hope to hear full songs from you some day.
This is so exciting. This has been among my favorite couple guitar sounds since I first heard it in ‘94. Congratulations! Definitely interested in the getting one of your Velenos, assuming I can afford it
Congratulations on reaching the production phase of the AlumiKurt! Glad something profitable came out of all this, and I hope I can buy one. In '94-'95 my friend Jason and I went down this road, kind of, with much less success. We had many of the Guitar World, etc. issues and interviews you refrence taped up on a wall in his room. The Jag-Stang issue, Ernie Bailey stuff, etc. I kind of thought, even in retrospect, that we were a little weird. But seeing that other people are just as amazed by Kurt's tone and playing, even all these years later, just confirms that there really is something special about it. Good luck with the roll out!
Dude I'm loving these videos, and can't believe how close the tones are. Def copping the IRs!
Wow, Aaron! Just think, you're the first person to ever accurately recreate the sound of HSB and others. The intro gave me chills!
Been waiting for an update man glad things are working out 🙏
Stumbled onto your channel. TY and keep it up.
i don’t usually leave comments on videos but just wanted to tell you that i love your channel and watch every video. thank you for everything you do.
Thanks for all the hard work
this is so incredible!!!! I want one so bad! thank you so much Aaron for all that passion! :)
your videos are truly a gem. thank you.
Just an amazing guitar man. You'll do fantastic job finding the tone, and finally building your own guitar.
I love your channel so much the guitar tone on that album is phenomenal and has always stuck in my head every time I hear the opening riff to heart shaped box it sends shivers down my spine. I am also so impressed constantly by Kurt’s musicianship the way he doesn’t know any music theory but the more you dive into nirvana you can enjoy it on so many levels just mindlessly headbanging and being in awe when you learn everything he did he had an amazing sense of melody and finally to Aaron I love it when someone is so passionate about something it so comes across and have loved every second of your vids also like a lot of people I love he pieces of music you create for you videos amazing stuff and thank you so much.
Oh man please, I BEG! A video of your photography. Its always so pretty and cool.
I don't know what to say. You're incredible. You had a crazy will to do this. Love ya man! You're crazy in a damn good way!
Aaron you are the MVP of Nirvana Sounds thanks for all your efforts, cheers from Chile wn!
Finally you uploaded, sounds impeccable!
Been following this journey since it started and after months its so satisfying to see it done. I'll be first in line for that preorder lol. Need that guitar in my hands. Appreciate all the work you've done to chase this sound and making it available to everyone who wants it. Much love
Bro thank you for the effort you are putting in.
Your sheer determination & force of will is inspiring Aaron. As somebody that plays a lot of low tuned doom & stoner stuff I’d love to try one of these, I really like the new headstock design as well.
I can’t wait to see where you take the channel from here.
This has been a wonderful thing to watch. I cannot wait to get my hands on one.
Congrats man, the guitar sounds (and looks) awesome!
Love that the CNC cutter had a sticker that said 'Kurt' on it too, it was meant to be
oh yeah man, this is what i've been waiting for. i'm so happy for you that you finally ended this nirvana era, but also very sad at the same time. still, nirvana is eternal. i'll definitely wait and consider kurt before i buy my second guitar, also would love to hear more of it. ps: thank you for everything you taught me about guitar, nirvana and music in general, i couldn't be more glad to have found your chanel. i'm so excited and wish you the best in your new journey!
Glad that you are back! All the hard work has *really* paid off, just wow 🎸
Woah, thank you so much!!!
OH MY GOD. I must have one of these guitars, friend. What you've done is just absolutely phenomenal. The world of guitar playing owes you a debt for this.
I got goose bumps when I heard the perfect texture, you nailed this build🔥🔥🔥🔥
5:43 is the best moment I have experienced in all your videos I have watched. That is just scary. Well done, sir. I look forward to your next tone chasing endeavor!
hell yah, i always loved that "boing-y" type sound when you strum harder in utero has & this thing nails it. good job aaron.
Man this is such a sick project,really impressive!! New sub
Maaan, your shooting skills are freaking awesome! It's like I'm watching a short film. This intro foggy woods scene, all those VHS-kinda cuts. Absolutely fascinating!
Argh, such a lovely vibe!
But the thing that makes me really amazed is that tone! Gosh it's totally unique and the sound of this album always impressed me. You freaking nailed it!
I wish I could have one to play on...
Thanks! As a mega die hard Nirvana fan you have done the fans a labor of love that we can't repay with all the tone videos! I can't wait to see the guitars go on sale as well. I know that Kurt was a huge factor in me picking up the guitar and you doing all these sweet videos has made it even more special playing along to them. Thanks again for all your hard work on them!
Thank you Andrew!! It really means a lot! I can’t wait to get these out in the world 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@AaronRashcan't wait to pre order. how are you gonna let us know, a whole video? Hope your shipping internationaly to Canada aswell. congrats on your journey.
Bravo you are insanely talented and it was cool to watch this journey the whole way through thanks
Thanks for your work. Great job can't wait for the chance to get get one.
Wow, Aaron. I have to say thanks. Im There since the begining and Its si great to watch your videos. So Much well realised with freacgjrj great pictures and everything. You are so inspiring with all this universe
Beyond impressive! Ive been watching since you uploaded your first video. In that time I was convinced you nailed every tone regardless of what guitar or amp you used.
To see you go this far with it is amazing. That Veleno tone is so damn spot on I can’t believe it! I definitely want one of your builds! (Would love to know your price).
Keep the tone chasing going! It definitely intrigues your audience. And if you feel like it, let’s see you complete Nevermind before you completely throw in the towel with Kurt’s guitar tones!
Awesome video editing, awesome work to chase and capture Kurt's tone. Building the guitar yourself? Wow! The guy deserves the credit he's earned. I've been obsessed with some sounds myself. Well done sir. Thanks for sharing.
I'm just stunned at how awesome this accomplishment is. I am so amazed with your passion for music.
This is really great! Love your commitment. Keep on going!
Wow, thank you so much!!
My life-long dream was to discover what was that sound on In Utero record… where did it came from and watching your videos for the past year brought me all the knowledge and answers! This is definitelly more than a project or just a simple channel. An amazing roadmap Aaron. I grew up on grunge and Nirvana used to be my favorite band of all time. Now, your channel & research videos kind of hyped me for searching for “some gear” to be able to nail or come close to these legendary sounds 😄
This a beautiful end of a very entertaining informative era thank you Arron
One of the best projects ever!!! thanks for that
The aluminum sounds so cool, great video as always
Congratulations on the end of the journey! I’ve been following you from the beginning. Back in the yearly 00’s we had no idea how Nirvana tones were made. Literally no idea, there was no such information at all. Hell, the internet was in the early stages of development. And now, thanks to you, we finally know everything! And it wasn’t simple as we’ve been told the whole time! In fact, a lot of rare stuff was involved (like speakers and guitars) to make these tones. You did a fantastic job man, you really deserve the credit. Big love from a lifetime Nirvana fan ❤
actually the early internet was covered with Nirvana info and equipment FAQs in the NINETIES
@@fuckcensorship69 but none of them mentioned the info Aaron found out
Amazing that shes finally done. Very nice work. I would kill to have a veleno. Truly impressive
This channel is severely underrated, the amount of effort put into the intros and the video itself is so much that i’m extremely surprised this video doesn’t have more views. You genuinely deserve more subscribers for all of your hard work.
Excellent work on this clone Veleno. You've really nailed the In Utero tone.
this is awesome man! i'm so impressed and proud and happy that you got this tone, i've loved it forever and it's always been a mystery to me until now. my question is though, what is your plan for after nirvana? are you going to take tone requests or are you gonna go exploring for other tones that you like? other audio production videos would be sick too. if you do end up taking tone requests, some of my personal favorites are siamese dream by the smashing pumpkins, dookie by green day, dude ranch by blink-182, and the blue album by weezer. great stuff man! love the content
So much fucking respect for this, I've been excited to see the progress
Cannot wait to drop an order for one of these. Insane amount of effort in tackling the tone and I am so excited to have the opportunity to get my own.
What will the cost be?
Even as a little 10-year-old I knew there was something special about the In Utero sound. I had played many guitars and was mesmerized that Kurt's sound was so different. Of course, the Kurt sound was ALWAYS distinct on every recording. But that In Utero sound is totally different.
On Nevermind, they played about 20 guitars and synced them together. In Utero wasn't cleaner, but it didn't have maximum distortion on every album
Very proud of you for realizing you dream conquest. It's great to hold the key that unlocks the mystery to Kurt's true tone. That made a lot of us very happy to see your hard working endeavors. Like you said though, once we reach our goal, then what? A tad bittersweet in the end. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us
Been dying for this video I showed my dad what you’ve been working on and he had a smile on his face listening to you explain the guitar and listening to me ramble about how awesome this guitar is I can’t wait for the pre order
An excellent…guitar sounded perfectly, and you played very well.
The tone was amazing 🎸🧷
Good job, dude. I'm pleased the super spikey design went away.
That's such an awesome tone dude, I can only dream of having a guitar like that!
YEAH! LETS GO! FINALLY! Been waiting for this! Fucking awesome Aaron!
Just one word : dedication. Cheers man !
WHAT AN EPIC QUEST!! YOUR JOURNEY IS WORTH WRITING A BOOK ABOUT!
As a lifelong Nirvana fan, hearing that gave me chills. You are doing amazing stuff man!!!!
Wow, seriously talented man, I'm subbed
What an incredible journey!
i look forward to every upload
This is a very cool video. The guitar looks beautiful and sounds amazing.
In utero is a fantastic album.
