    This video is just more evidence on how much you can do with a basic (in a good way) Kurt/Nirvana tone. I don't mean that in a bad way at all. I just mean that I've seen countless videos of people trying to nail Kurt's tone and you've done it with stock sounds from a Katana. I feel like any basic distorted sound will get you there and everything else is all feel and playing loose. Another great video bro!

      instead of going out of your way to find kurts exact gear just get whats cheap and works (like a certain someone). my rig is a modded mustang, an old peavy amp i got for free, a samsamp clone and chorus from behringer. both pedals are like $30 and my tone is closer than 90% of the people who have what kurt used

    One of the things that always gets me is how great the song writing and the guitar work on In Utero are. Kurt was great as far back as the demos for Bleach, but he was still getting better, and the band was really building into something beyond incredible. Those live performances with Pat in the band are just top notch.
    And "You Know You're Right" really leaves us with a big "what if?"

Notice how Soundgarden and Alice in Chains are both considered grunge but don't sound very alike. Nirvana was a grunge band and a punk band, these things aren't mutually exclusive.

    Noice! And some of those tones are really capturing the vibe for a random setting, Steve Albini will be very cross

    Amazing that your tone is from a Katana! I use a Marshall DSL but I have a Katana as well. It's a great grunge amp!

    Can you do Nirvana Nevermind next, and then Green Day’s dookie and the offspring’s smash?

      @bloxsy_  3 года назад +24

      I was thinking of doing a Nirvana B-sides and rare songs list, but will probably do a Nevermind one also at some point. And Green Day and Offspring will hopefully do a Top 10 riffs vid some time.

    No offense meant at all, but you make these plain, unremarkably adorned guitars sound fantastic!
