I'm at my 3rd year playing guitar and I was starting to feel stuck. Learning this song ignited the spark I needed to move forward. Thank you Matt for taking the time to put this lesson together. You're the best!
I don't know that I would say that he had zero knowledge of music theory. I think that was him being modest to a point. ;) I think it's safe to say that he relied much more on his instincts and what felt/sounded right than any theory knowledge he had.
He just had a natural feel for it,I don’t think he knew much theory at all.Some people can just visualize or just hear it using natural instinct.And he had that ability.
Thanks! I figured it's probably time I put a little more effort into the production. I might do proper mic'ing, mixing, a real camera, etc., in the future...we'll see.
Thank you so much for this lesson Matt, it's been some time since I don't show up in your comment section, I think that deal of "x" number of subscribers for a certain lesson is great! Way better than not having those remaining lessons, so thank you very much for reconsidering on doing them, I will stay tuned for more content on your channel, take care of yourself! :)
Thanks a lot for the lesson! I've been waiting for this one so much! Your videos are really helpful and the production is much better now. And also I'd really love to see Hairspray Queen lesson. Are you going to do it? (if it's ever possible to learn this crazy song :D)
No problem! Thanks a lot for checking it out! Yeah, I'm too the point where I need to spend some more time on the production. It's going to be a while before I properly mic, mix, and master the audio, but it will happen eventually. I'll start working on the Hairspray Queen lesson once I hit 9,000 subs, so pretty soon. Probably later this year.
Awesome lesson Matt, been waiting a while for this 1. Is it just me or does it seem like Kurt's earlier stuff before Nevermind was more technical & a little more complex? I think so. Do you ever think you'll do a lesson on "You know you're right"? I know how to play it but I'd love to see you do a video on it as you are more thorough. Thanks for the videos.
Hi Robert! You're definitely right about the earlier songs being more complex. They're more punk and metal too, and a bit less poppy. Apparently they all were listening to Celtic Frost a lot at the time. Makes a lot of sense if you check that band out...I'm definitely going to do "You Know You're Right". It will most likely be the next Nirvana song I do.
its very true, kurts guitar parts got simpler as time went on, actually jack endino talked about that as well, he said part of it was that kurt had some difficulty singing and playing guitar at the same time so he made the guitar parts simpler so he could concentrate more on his vocals....
dude… i’m 19 and been trying to pick up more nirvana since they’ve been a big influence for me as well as many others, your content is amazing. it’s super easy to follow along with and you split everything up so it’s easy to go step by step and feels like you’re learning with a friend rather than going through any major challenges. you killed every part, and i’m glad i can learn through the clear instruction here. keep on rocking
@@MattBrownGuitar I've been waiting for a good tutorial on this song for so long, thanks man, as somebody that is just learning to play guitar like me it's amazing to have so much great content on songs that I love.
@@chillhell I'm so glad to hear it! I'll be spending a bit more time on my RUclips channel over the next several months. Plenty more Nirvana and other song lessons are coming. :)
He man I'm confused about guitar amps I want to buy an versatile amp I can't afford guitar processors or effect pedals that's why I'm confused between Boss Katana 50, Marshall code 50 and line 6 spider 5 60 watt. Suggest me which one is best because I sold lot of things and going to invest on Good Amp. Boss Katana sounds better than any other amp in yt demos for me but Marshall code 50 having good option to connect with smart phone.
After trying many amps and because of low budget I settled with blackstar id core 40 v2. Sound wise it's better in price range and I loved Boss katana when I plugged in it's like wow that's my dream amp but it's Blackstar is only option for me. It have 2 speakers for stereo effects as well. It's 12k cheaper than katana in my country so I bought it and I'm happy with it. It's feels better than Marshall code 25 amp.
I'm pretty sure you already requested that...hmmm??? boooop! booop! sound the alarm! Double requester!!! lol! I'll allow it because your user name is so cool. Yes, I'll be doing plenty of Sonic Youth in the future...
I’m a 35 year old woman and used to be able to play this when I was a teenager and forgot. It’s my fav nirvana song. I dunno why I drew a blank in 20 years thanks my guitar teacher chorded it out for me and where that sheet music is now who knows
I followed his original solo fairly close, but I definitely took a few artistic liberties with this one. It's hard to exactly replicate some of the noisier elements without doing a million takes.
Thanks Matt, That reassures me that I’m okay playing a tad more by ear and feel rather than trying to follow a tab transcription precisely, which can become frustrating! Thanks for the awesome tutorials 👍👍
I do! Please sign up for my patreon if you are able: www.patreon.com/MattBrownGuitar?fbclid=IwAR1b7mATt4WNsHGs3o2zVneagH2KfDBWWSkfcqT8UiT4-xNogViT73rHdZA otherwise, hit me up, and I'll send them to you: matt.brown13@gmail.com
Hahahahah goldilocks is getting angry. Just saying this is why Marty is better. His intros are better and his lessons overall are way better. He has more subs and therefore he reaches out to more people bc of his style. His tabs sound better then your lessons. Keep practicing buddy

Very txh ,man.
I am totally blind, and have learned all my Nirvana songs from you because I like the way you describe everything. keep them coming please.
Thanks for the awesome feedback! I definitely have plenty more coming.
This is no joke one of the coolest comments I’ve read in awhile
@@leeroy2461 well thanks bro… I forgot about this comment. It’s been a couple years. LOL!
I don't know how you'll read this but, keep rocking!
@@Oob144 🤘🏼
No joke matt. You're my favorite channel
Thanks, Daniel! Really appreciate it!
Such an underrated channel you deserve more subs
thanks! I agree! haha!
I will most likely NEVER pay for advertising, so do me a favor and help me spread the word! Thanks!!!!
Thanks for the lesson!! Ive always wanted to learn this song
Me too! haha! It was a blast to learn, teach, and play. :)
Dude same i was looking for a tutorial for this song and finally this
I'm at my 3rd year playing guitar and I was starting to feel stuck. Learning this song ignited the spark I needed to move forward. Thank you Matt for taking the time to put this lesson together. You're the best!
That's what I love to hear!
Thanks man! I've been waiting for that!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
This song is so awesome, Thank you for this one. You always know the best pieces of underrated music.
Its crazy that someone with zero knowledge of music theory could make a solo like this. Mind blowing
I don't know that I would say that he had zero knowledge of music theory. I think that was him being modest to a point. ;) I think it's safe to say that he relied much more on his instincts and what felt/sounded right than any theory knowledge he had.
@@MattBrownGuitar yeah i just remember when i didn't any theory i was lost
@@landonlucero7500 yeah me too!
He just had a natural feel for it,I don’t think he knew much theory at all.Some people can just visualize or just hear it using natural instinct.And he had that ability.
kurt Cobain was so incredibly musically gifted, he didn't need to know music theory or what he was doing. his ear just led him to everything he wrote.
ive been waiting for this thank you:)
You are very welcome!
I literally screamed yes when I saw this
haha! awesome.
Digging your more polished video style. Thanks for all the lessons!
Thanks! I figured it's probably time I put a little more effort into the production. I might do proper mic'ing, mixing, a real camera, etc., in the future...we'll see.

Out of those 3 options, I would definitely go with the Boss Katana. It sounds WAY better than the other 2 amps to my ears.
Thanks

Great lesson, can you make a lesson of Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves? The 87' Nirvana jam
Thanks, Bailey! I'll add that one to the list.
@@MattBrownGuitar thanks!
Thanks this my fav song and also the first song I ever fully learnt on electric guitar
Awesome to hear it! Glad I could help!
Anymore Nirvana lessons on the way?
PLENTY more...tons of bass and basically most of the guitar lessons of songs that appear on compilations like With The Lights Out.
Matt Brown
thank you, waiting for new vidio NIRVANA
You are welcome!
Only Matt could have a 100% like ratio
I have the most amazing subscribers on RUclips! You all are amazing an SO supportive! It means the world to me. :)
Thanks alot!! Can we get a lesson on teenage riot by Sonic youth?
I'm pretty sure you already requested that...hmmm??? boooop! booop! sound the alarm! Double requester!!! lol! I'll allow it because your user name is so cool. Yes, I'll be doing plenty of Sonic Youth in the future...
@@MattBrownGuitar far out man
The triad shapes he got from greg ginn’s guitar style from black flag.
Imo the best Nirvana song of all time
One of my favorites for sure!
Thanks man, excellent job.

Good to see You Smile in Thumbnail :)
Thank u sm,jesus
you are very welcome
Thanks! You're a great tutor
Thanks so much!
Hi Matt,
Are you playing the solo note for note as on the tab sheet or improvising a little?
I followed his original solo fairly close, but I definitely took a few artistic liberties with this one. It's hard to exactly replicate some of the noisier elements without doing a million takes.
Thanks Matt,
That reassures me that I’m okay playing a tad more by ear and feel rather than trying to follow a tab transcription precisely, which can become frustrating!
Thanks for the awesome tutorials 👍👍
Liked the shirt matching with the guitar haha
I'm a fashion icon. what can I say. lol ;)
could you do a lesson on curmudgeon ?
Yes...coming fairly soon along with most of the other great songs I've missed up to this point. ;)
Matt Brown thanks, you’re the best !!
I need hairspray queen😂 it's the only song I need to learn now
Great lesson Matt.
Do you have a tab sheet available for the solo especially please?
I do! Please sign up for my patreon if you are able: www.patreon.com/MattBrownGuitar?fbclid=IwAR1b7mATt4WNsHGs3o2zVneagH2KfDBWWSkfcqT8UiT4-xNogViT73rHdZA
otherwise, hit me up, and I'll send them to you: matt.brown13@gmail.com
You look like Kurt from bleach era
🙏👑🔥🤘
Please with tab
if you would like my transcription, just email me: Matt.brown13@gmail.com
Have you ever been told you look like chad chaning
no, that's a new one actually.
You made me doubt you, but still respect you for doing this song. I can't play it. But you lost me on the solo. Keep making videos though, honestly.
I have no idea what song that solo was from, so I can only conclude y'all own the Hal Leonard TAB book.
i love you 😍❤❤❤
love you back!
Who fast forwarded to the solo lol
haha!
Could you do hairpsray queen? Its my favourite song.
I've been asked to teach that for 6 years...I'd like to do it, but I still haven't found the time yet...
You almost got it. Keep practicing.
Songsterr...
If you wnat more subs, use tablature as it’s easier to understand for beginners and intermediates
tabs are available for every lesson. I'll never put them in the videos.
This is the reason people prefer Marty shwarts over you
@@seargeantsnot5786speak for yourself, not others. don't care. fuck off.
Hahahahah goldilocks is getting angry. Just saying this is why Marty is better. His intros are better and his lessons overall are way better. He has more subs and therefore he reaches out to more people bc of his style. His tabs sound better then your lessons. Keep practicing buddy
@@seargeantsnot5786 I'm not getting angry. I'm just pointing out that you are obviously a douchebag, internet troll that has no life.
Thanks
No problem!
