Recreate that tone: Nirvana - About a Girl
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 авг 2022
- Nirvana - About a Girl is one of my favorite songs ever, I hope you guys are ready! I'm super excited to start my first ever Bleach album tone recreation video... This is really the song that put Nirvana on the path to the success they would later achieve, so it seems only right to start off bleach with "About a Girl. Hope you guys dig it 🤘🏼
Im scared on how this sounds exactly like the original
When I started playing it, it scared me too 😂
Hey guys Kurt is alive.
He is this man😅
Baldski and nirvana my life is complete!!!
And I thought I was listening to a drum track
We're all scared.
It's actually unreal how you get so fucking perfect on these tones. God damn dude, can't wait for blew.
Nice profile pic man
When you picked behind the bridge you accidently recreated the guitar intro of You Know You're Right!
I noticed that!! So cool
Hey man! These videos inspires me to start getting some new speakers for my amp. Been playing a lot of Nirvana over the years, and Bleach is such an awesome record with immensely cool sound. Can't wait for the Celestion G12M-70 speaker to arrive in the mail.
This is incredible man
I always get excited when you post a video lol. Amazing content
Another great video!
Awesome Tone man. It sounds spot on
Very nice man , i love your videos
bro at the beginning i thought my audio just cut that was so accurate! amazing job as always with these tone recreations.
Oh man, must have missed when you put this out, I was patiently waiting for you to drop an upload aswell 👍🏼
You’ve definitely mastered playing in the Kurt style now, sounds absolutely awesome Aaron 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the speaker suggestion. I was always looking for that clean sound, so I bought this same speaker and found I was looking for over 2 decades. I also totally agree on guitar resonance and prefer very light bodied guitars even if they are mostly cheap ones.
Man.... that's absurdly close. Your channel is amazing and i can't stresst that enough. Here i am hoping for more in uteru too haha
you are honestly my favourite guitar youtuber. Your just give the facts and are insanely accurate. Props bro keep up the videos!
Man, the first seconds of the video i was like "holy ****, he got the exact tone". Thank you so much!
Hey man!!! Really great VIDEO. Congrats!!!!. Some weeks ago, I did a cover of this theme and it was really difficult to get a tone close to Kut´s one, I really worked a lot using plugins, stompboxes, EQ...
I also have a late 60s Arai Diamond (1702t) like this, mines black but the clear coat has aged to an almost dark green colour, has the stock P90 looking single coil in the bridge position and an unbranded aftermarket P90 neck pickup. Every time I plug it in.. Instant Bleach tones! 😁 Love the videos dude!
The quality of these is insane
Like the tones are amazing. But. For a small channel your production quality is even better than most big youtubers. Wow. Such a clean looking video. Love it.
Uploaded on my birthday i guess it's a sign.. SUBBED. i just found out about your channel! good stuff man
lowkey such an underrated youtube this guy should have like at least 200k
You should do Nirvana demos and stuff like that once you are done with bleach, but for songs that maybe weren't finished, you should sort of make it like a nirvana song, because I think that would be really cool to see an interpretation of a finished demo!
Glad he is posting and btw sounds just like thebog
Such a cool tone. I've been using the fender champion 100 and I have to say that the British setting with the right eq nails almost every nirvana tone. Solid budget choice if you know how to use it
spot on
Wow I thought tht would b harder ... U nailed it bro.
best video to wake up to!
the sound of "Bleach" was Recorded With two guitars with a univox (three songs were recorded with this guitar) and a Mustang (the rest of the album was recorded)
Hey man, not saying that's not true or anything but is there any verifiable source out there to support it? In all the Jack Endino interviews I've watched and read he says Kurt used the Hi-Flier and a mustang for the in utero demos with him but not bleach. I have a mustang and I'm definitely down to use it for bleach (I usually test all my guitars on each song any way and use what sounds closest) but usually when I do this I find everything I read on the internet to not be true at all. Even for "you know you're right" Robert plant said the intro sound is steel drums Kurt used in the studio which is absolutely hilarious because its clearly the bridge on the Hi-Flier 😂 I think there's more misinformation surrounding Nirvana than any other band on earth.
@@AaronRash to see the Mustang I'm talking about you have to see the cover of Bleach and it's not a univox it's a Mustang
@@d.a558 I’ve seen that mustang as well as read about it, but that’s just a photo Tracy Marander took during a show. That’s not the studio sessions. Is there any source stating that mustang was used to record bleach? Jack Endino consistently says it was a hi flier for the entire album in every interview I’ve watched and read.
@@AaronRash there is a video in which the Mustang that I say appears and it is from the year 1988 so 90% if it was used in the recordings of Bleach
@@d.a558 Yes Kurt had a Mustang in 1988 and also several Hi-Fliers at the same time. Just because he played a mustang live doesn't mean he used it to record bleach. Like I said, is there anywhere stating that to verify he recorded bleach with it? If not, it's just a random guess...

Shit, that tone really gets close man, awsome
Love your tone recreations, udo it perfect with nirvana, do you think you could do other bands in the Same genre in the future?
I adore your video
holy, this is so accurate. you should try doing heart shaped box
Bro you are the only guy that do exact the same tome of nirvana, please do come as you are if you can please
you're the best man, your videos are actually good. there's so much crap on RUclips....I am also a huge nirvana fan and been playing guitar and writing original songs since I was a little kid. I play the drums too that'd be cool to get together and jam someday lol
For live versions try the neck pickup on a strat
I’ve been a subscriber since your first Nirvana tone video. These videos are great. Thank you for doing these!
please do and i love her tone really want to capture that cassette tone
Eastwood makes these guitars brand new today and they’re pretty affordable especially if you want the White Heart Shaped Box Univox.
Once again it's amazing. What do you think about the Fender Bassman used for the Nevermind session? Tweed or Blackface?
AMAZING!!! Keep up the videos man. I can’t even believe how accurate you get. Please do Floyd The Barber next!!
Thanks! Its on the list!
Have you ever looked into the Retro Roc KC94 guitar? I feel like its the perfect modern tribute to Kurt's Fenders, and beautiful reinterpretation of the jag-stang concept
1:47 you know you're right lol another reason why i wanna get a guitar with that bridge type
Just have to say I really appriciate every art & sound you create
Can u make a video about your equipmen micros,cameras,speakers or showing your studio talkin about your amplifier and guitars u know
fire fire firee
Bro I was playing a game with this video on and I did NOT EVEN REALIZE THIS WAS NOT THE STUDIO RECORDING BUT IT IS YOU!!!!
how do you only have 5k subs 😧
finally a song my celestion 70s go well with haha
I am Literally Blown away by how accurate your Recreations are.
Couple months ago I actually bought a guyatone LG 127T it’s a highflier/mosrite copy reached out to somebody who knew about them… They were also supposedly made in the same factory in Japan by the same people who made the high flier… supposedly the specific one I have in Cherry red there were only a dozen made
Thants pretty cool! is it super lightweight too?
@@AaronRash It is actually slightly heftier than a high flyer we had a phase 3 at the music store I used to work at, the guy who brought it in said it was owned by Kurt and he had it authenticated… that thing weighed nothing🤣🤣🤣🤣
While your point about different microphones is understandable, using different mics at different distances is EXACTLY the level of detail that set Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories apart from a quality and production stand point. Panda Bear talks about this process specifically in his Collaborators interview about the album.
I would really love to see you recreate Nirvana's Live show at Teatro Castello, Italy in 1991. My favorite Nirvana tone(Specifically his Jaguar Clean Tone)and show. Would also be amazed if you could recreate it in Amplitube 5. If not I completely understand!! Love your content ❤️
Leeds show 1990 ❤
imoresionante!!!suena igual!!!!
1:47 you know you are right intro lmao
The phase 4 hi flyers with humbuckers like Kurt's had the same thin body but they were MUCH heavier. I worked on my mates original one, same year as Kurt's one but my mates one has a dimarzio in the bridge. They're still resonant but as I said they weigh quite a lot more
Yes
Plz do "Drain You" studio version next
You gave the Paul Reed Smith expanation for pickups 🙂
Let’s GOOOO
im so existed to hear blew now
Killed it as per usual! Ever thought about making impulse Reponses for your speakers?
Thanks! yes I will hopefully soon
@@AaronRash this is the greatest news I have ever heard in my life
That was awesome as always.
What was the music behind your voice ?
Plz tell me. That was great.
Do you mean at the end? Its D7 a wipers cover.
hey Aaron! killing it with the tone again! oh and i just wanted to share a piece of info that i find cool. i was looking at the date's bleach was recorded (via LiveNirvana) and found out that the recorded the **bleach** sessions were done in December. then i remembered that Kurt didn't have a univox during December in 1988, being destroyed in October the same year. so then i looked through photo's of the band playing in November/December and hes playing with this weird home-made mustang with a univox pick-up installed. then i look at a video where the band is rehearsing for bleach during December, and it shows that hes using his home-made mustang with a univox pickup if the bridge. so i think he actually use his mustang with a univox humbucker during the bleach sessions that were recorded in December, but anything before October was recorded with his univox yes.
cool
I agree with this. The tone is all in the pickup and the DS1. Oh and Kurt's playing of course
u should check out the floyd the barber tone. it’s awesome. i think you would get soooo close with your high flier
Wasn't those P90 pickups? I love Nirvana and you make cool videos. Have you ever tried the spark amp? I use that and they have like 10k tones. I was thinking of getting a twin reverb cause the qaud is pretty big.
The early phase 1 hi fliers had the P90 style ones and then phase 2 had the humbuckers. Kurt recorded bleach with a phase 2. I've got a phase 1. I've never heard of the spark, ill check it out!
I have a Hi-Flier coming my way soon. It's a phase 1 exactly but it is branded "Maestro." I've seen that brand pop up here and there but I've never heard of a Maestro Hi-Flier. Any clue?
Thanks for this video! I'm trying to replicate the sound but I can't figure out how to load the IR in amp room, any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
that’s what i’m talking about.
I have that same IR pack, which mic or mic combo did you go with?
lending my ear
Holy Cow that sounded so good! Can we be friends? I live in Seattle now too, just moved here from LA.
Please do more Bleach songs 🙏
i get what you mean when talking about the pickups but have you ever changed the pickups on a late 90s/early 2000s epiphone? after i did that to my 2004 epiphone sg the guitar suddenly came to life and sounded way different compared to the muddy mess it was before ;)
Man I have had so many debts over pick up and the actual sounds of a guitar, and those who think pick up changes the sound don't know anything about guitars 👍
O YEEAA MANN, can u do you know you're right tone?
What software do you use on the computer to get all the tones you play??
1:47 you played you know youre right... Actually, on this session kurt played a hi flier and Boss distortion pedal, we dont know exactly if it was ds1 or ds2 becasue only info we have is : "Despite his apparent enthusiasm for the session, he had arrived at the studio without his gear, and ended up using a Univox guitar that the band's guitar technician, Ernie Bailey, had reworked for him, along with the studio's 50 Watt Marshall amp, which he disliked, and a pedal board with a Boss distortion pedal."
I might be late to the party but I would love a link to the IRs used
No way man!!!!! No freaking way!!!!!! I was literally just playing that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YESS BLEACHH
My PRS se Paul's guitar can get a similar tone but I'm going to create a patch on my ge150 with this impulse response to see if it gets similar
You Know You’re Right please 🙏🙏🙏
I remember having a conversation with a singer a long time ago about my thinline telecaster tone. He couldn't accept that putting a wide range humbucker in a different kind of guitar would not replicate my tone. I still sound like a telecaster. It's not all about the pickups. The guitar has a voice.
What is that D-7 recording in the background?
Please do Blandest
Hi Aaron do you still have this cab?
And do want to sell it without the speakers?
awesome video as per usual! im really excited that you’ve started on bleach, and you already got about a girl down to the tee, literally identical lol, almost scary
i see that you were able to recreate this tone digitally. is there any accurate impulse responses to emulate a late 1980’s Celestion 12T-75 speaker?
keep the awesome vids man (:
Thanks! I will at some point release an IR pack when I have a collection of all the perfect sounding speakers
Was it easy to put in a humbucker in your classic vibe mustang
Witch camera u use?
Can you recreate the drain you tone
What is the name of the song in the background at 0:45? I recognize it but forgor the name.
Nevermind, I found it again. D-7.
What daw are you using?
ruclips.net/video/n02tImce3AE/видео.html this video is super interesting regarding the pickup argument. I think as long as you have the same general type of pickup (humbucker/single Coil etc) and the height is correct then you're good. I mean, especially if you are using distortion the characteristics of different pickups is a lot more obvious. Some have more mid range, some are hotter than others, etc, but at the end of the day a lot of this can be adjusted eq wise as well.
1:48 You Know You're Right intro? :D
Actually Eastwood is selling this model. Vintage univox pickups sounds louder than a phase 4 for example. But yeah your right. Is crazy to think two guitars are diferents if they are made on the dame factory whit the same materials. But between kutrs univoxs hiflyer pickups and actual hiflyer pickups "the phase4, Eastwood ones" there is significant sound diference
Fore sure, I've seen some comparisons, but the problem is the Eastwood pickups were on their newer reissue hi flier. The older ones sound completely different to me but I think it's more to do with the guitar than the pickup, but just my opinion!
@@AaronRash some luthiers says that the affect less that we think y the electric guitars bodyes. The Wood affects in the resonance of the neck between maple and rosewood. Other aspect that change the tone is the hardware and electronics. This is what they say. I really don't know.
Check out this video.
ruclips.net/video/n02tImce3AE/видео.html
He is going removing guitars parts to see where tone comes from in eléctric guitar. I think this video deserve to see and think about it.
i'm getting really close to the tone just on amplitube 5 and my guitar, but it still sounds kinda trebley and it doesn't have that "crunch" to it, any ideas?
btw, i don't have a hi flyer but my guitar does resonate a lot.
Could you try and recreate Big Long Now?
noted!
What’s your full signal chain Aaron? Speaker, mic, preamp?, mixer?, into daw?
Hi, for this song there was none. it was just straight into my DAW
how were you plaing about a girl in the beginning with a capo? i just play it standard or half step down. what tuning did you use?
he's tuned half step down, he want to play in standard but didn't wanna retune in, so he used a capo instead. basically just the same as play in Standard.
I have to know why did you put a capo on the guitar instead of playing it without
