Seeing these all back to back really highlights how inventive of a guitar player Kurt really was. I think he often is regarded as an overrated or ratty guitar player who didn’t have any real chops. But Nirvana was never about showing off or posturing or busting out huge solos just because they could. Nirvana was about art and expression. They unloaded their angst into their art and it moved and connected with a generation of misfits. And still does.
All I hear is that he was garbage on guitar,but there's a story about his old producer(Butch Vig) walking in on Kurt while he was playing Julian by John Lennon...very intricate guitar work. I think Kurt was a good guitarist...it worked for the band's sound,etc...
I've been using Mr Moustache to warm my fingers up for years, just did not know the name of the song (learned it from my Nirvana obsessed buddy yrs ago)
Dude. If you've never listened to Bleach through and through, do yourself a favor and do that as soon as possible. Then, go listen to some earlier demos and see just how close Nirvana was to the Melvins before Kurt found his sound.
Thanks for watching my video people. Whilst recording this I also did a full version of Spank Thru which I may post later on. Also, for those who missed it, here is the video I did previously of the MTV Unplugged In New York Album th-cam.com/video/K3hfvK3vpPQ/w-d-xo.html
Hey man great vid! Just wanted to point out that your pinky finger ok your left hand is looking very uncomfortable while you play, might be worth looking into improving your technique a little in that area 🙏
@@bloxsy_ Kurt didn't use pinky much. And u r unique as u are 💙 and people looking for perfection won't like this cover👉 th-cam.com/video/V79fCLoCf8Q/w-d-xo.html but Kurt would have loved this. As he hated the Song.
I come back to Nirvana every so often and I am still amazed at the level of playing Kurt was at because a lot of these refs are extremely complicated while trying to sing. Guys like the Polyphia crew or like technical death metal or cool but back then Kurt was on a different level and it showed
Hi Bloxsy, I have that exact model guitar (Epiphone SG?) and the wood around the input jack on mine has been cracking for a while now, so I'm telling you now, always use one of the sideways cords, not a straight one. Thanks man, keep on uploading the good shit!!!
Wow! Absolutely amazing and spot on. I loved watching this video. Do you have a website that teaches these songs? Or maybe a link to how you learned them please? Peace
Think there's a few videos on TH-cam that will help. I plug into an audio interface going into my laptop and use GarageBand to record it. Pedals listed in the description. Then sync it to the video after.
Makes me laugh when someone says “ but such n such is the best guitarist in the world” there is no such thing.. each to their own and all that.. Kurt was brilliant at what he did and millions of people luved him for it too..
To all the people saying Cobain was a bad guitarist - you try playing AND singing to some of his riffs. Much less coming up with them. What sets a great guitarist apart from a good guitarist is that you can hear them in their guitar playing, you can't mistake Cobain's guitar playing with anyone else. His style simply didn't need to be clean or sharp, just hard and dirty.
A lot of people (even guitar players because they haven’t tried) don’t realize that while they seem very basic, these riffs are pretty unnatural-feeling to play. The fact that he played these WHILE SINGING is a lot of what made him great.
Kurt gets a bad rep as a guitarist, but he came up with good catchy and brutal licks. Some are even fairly complex, and the execution has feel for days. Underrated in that aspect.
this is one of the best explanations i’ve seen. most of nirvana is so easy to play on the guitar but he made it great. it’s so unique, he really had such a raw and personalized style

It's about tone. Kurt had tone and was a great guitarist because of it. Technical guitar playing like sweeps are for guitar nerds. Dimebag is the greatest because of his tone period
@@blazeplatinum1014 hmmm no I bet you're actually correct haha I've never read the lyrics, that's just what I thought he said but now that I think about it, I guess I was Incorrect
Riffs like Floyd, Negative Creep, and Swap Meet remind me that simple sounds you make while practicing can actually be composed if you believe in yourself
He keeps those cigarettes close to his heart, na na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na, she keeps the photographs close to her heart! Na na na na na na na na na na na, they keep the memories close to their hearts! Na na, na na, na na na na NA!

Steve Vai is on record saying Kurt was a phenomenal guitarist.
I feel like Bleach has just the most creative and heaviest riffs from all Nirvana albums
Most creative is debatable, but you’re absolutely right on the heaviest. Besides a couple of In Utero songs, I don’t even think that’s up for debate.
I cant listen to nirvana anymore
Heaviest most certainly

Ivegotwormsinme well Kurt was a roadie for the Melvins
@@davidallen3360 Buzz said Kurt never roadied for them.
Metallica must be the heaviest metal then
Sludge and Grunge came into their own around the same time. You’ll notice a lot of similarities between them because of it
Dose anyone also think that the moving between frets with the distortion is a very satisfying sound
I personally think it's the worst part lmao.
It's amazing
I hate it lol
Love it
Negative Creep and Mr. Moustache are, in my opinion, the best songs from the Bleach album
Yeah mr moustache is my favorite nirvana song

You nailed it,bro! I love playing Nirvana and jamming to their songs. 👍
7:24 Won’t you believe it? It’s just my luck! NO RECESS!
Love that song

Cool color sg👍👍
so great video but......... where is the Fender Jaguar?
and most importantly of all ... where is the Fender Cyclone?!
and...Where is his face??
RONALD SALERNO even more importantly, where is the jagstang?
Natural mahogany. Looks like my '18 gibson special.
Has anyone notice that every song sounds just like the recording it’s just amazing 🤯✨🖤
Because he's playing the songs lol
@@InFamXYTNNAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH FR ?😱🤯🤯
Youre great man, all your stuff sounds just like the record that is what I always wanted, huge respect to you
That Paper Cuts was a masterful recreation
You're doing a really good job at playing these riffs accurately. Sounds very much like the album.
Thank you.
This is one of the few I've seen where someone's playing em correctly, haha, great vid!

Thanks. Yes it's an Epiphone. Appreciate the tip man!
Bro the tone in Negative Creep 🔥🔥
This is fucking amazing bro.
Thanks.
You inspired me to buy an SG, thanks!
That tone is GOLD
One silverchair fan dislikes.
😂😂😂
Had you of said Nirvana in Pyjamas i would have understood who you were talking about
Silverchair is awesome
Alppher Only a joke 🤙🏻
@@shipwreckedonapopulatedisland It’s even more funny when you realize in the earlier pictures they look like Nirvana but with a roster change
what a beautiful guitar
Thank you for this. 😊
Very impressive my friend. When are you going to do your Pixies one?
Awesome tone man
That guitar looks and sounds really nice for its price
This is epic and pretty perfect
Thanks man.
Man I love that woodgrain SG
Such an amazing album riff wise, wish people talked about it more
I hear the drum and bass parts in my head lol
hey what kinda guitar is that it look super dope, also great video keep makin em
Epiphone s.g Thanks!
Those volume swells on big cheese 👌🏻
Bleach is basically a Metal Album by now, it's that heavy.
Cool sg bro
Like:)
nice one, dude!
Amazing riffs love bleach
Wow... Right chord... Right tone... Amaizing... 😎👍
Wow! Absolutely amazing and spot on. I loved watching this video. Do you have a website that teaches these songs? Or maybe a link to how you learned them please? Peace
Great takes! What about School's chorus though?
Well played!
Awesome !!!
What distortion pedal are you using this sounds spot on to the album
Paper Cuts and Swap Meet are the best
Nice job!
Thank you.
Shows what a great guitarist cobain was
Good stuff to see young people playing Nirvana. That was good playing there. Top man.
You earned a sub.
Thank you.
Excellent
Genius
Kurt sure loved The Pixies
Even though there’s no recess I like school the best
nailed it
Oh, my God
What a great album.
God, I forgot how much I love this album.
oh my god how did you get the EXACT tone..i am blown away
al escuchar Blew en mi cabeza sonaba cobain cantandola, suena precisamente igual, tocas muy bien!
metal greatness. periot
New guitarrrr????? Cooooool
Perfect 👍👏
Very god !
From Brazil !!
Are you going to do all their albums ?
Probably. I don't know when though.
That SG is fine
Nirvana’s negative creep sounds fun to play
It's probably the most fun to play out of all of them.
i know this is a *very* late comment but, what pick did you use in this vid?
I honestly don't know. Probably some dunlop picks.
Your neighbors must love you!
Thats a nice guitar
Fuck me I love that guitar
Hey bloxy, how are you getting your recorded music into your videos (might start a channel over the summer and would really appreciate the help)
Think there's a few videos on TH-cam that will help. I plug into an audio interface going into my laptop and use GarageBand to record it. Pedals listed in the description. Then sync it to the video after.
Best nirvana album for sure
How did you do the thing at the start of school? 1:51
Just hit the back of the guitar neck so the strings make a noise.
Best Nirvana's Album
Fucking sick guitar
Blew is a legendary riff
🎸
What's the guitar tuning for Bleach? Is it drop D?
Bro mega Nice guitar
Dig that Hendrix chord in Blew
Hey, random question. What is the tuning for Blew by Nirvana?
sounds like drop c tuning, aka
CGCFAD
basically drop d down a whole step
Ah, cool man. Thanks
Makes me laugh when someone says “ but such n such is the best guitarist in the world” there is no such thing.. each to their own and all that.. Kurt was brilliant at what he did and millions of people luved him for it too..
Everyone raves about Nevermind. But this was THE album!!!
new guitar?!!!!!!!!!
Bien ahí, tremendo
What type of SG?
Epiphone.
We have the same guitar!
See, you don't need ridiculously expensive gear to sound killer. Well done!
SI TOCABAS A LA ZURDO COMO KURT Y COMO YO TE HUBIERA DADO LIKE PERO DIESTRO SON COMUNES
You doing the neck tapping thing before School made that 1000000x more epic.
That’s how it’s sposed to be played.....
Feedback is the best instrument
@Shredz yes, and that’s why it’s epic. I don’t see people doing that when they play it
i learned how to do that from this guy and i thank him
Kurt also does it during Breed

Not big deal. In almost every band people plays an instrument while singing. Kurt was a good songwriter btw
Come as you are is a difficult one to play and sing.
@@thefirst9500 not at all
@@thawg5500 post yourself doing it then
@@thefirst9500 it is at first but if you practice it for a few days it's not so bad
Paper Cuts is just one of the best fucking songs period.
Brutal instrmental, dark and heavy, no instrmental similar in rock or metal as that one... And most heavy off all Kurts instrmental
doom/death metal
@@burebistta1923 if you listen to Bleach with this "slowed & reverbed" effect that's popular rn it sounds so sludge and great

You couldnt be more right loll. Just tried that school riff thinking it looked simple. How wrong was i
Let's be honest, he is not good guitarist, but he is one of best musicians that can make fantastic songs with simple powerchords.

Very true. That's how many, if not, most songs begin- someone picked up the guitar and played.
Swap meet is so under rated
probably one of my favorite nirvana songs
That song RIPS!!
He keeps those cigarettes close to his heart, na na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na, she keeps the photographs close to her heart! Na na na na na na na na na na na, they keep the memories close to their hearts! Na na, na na, na na na na NA!
Agreed. Swap meet, negative creep, scentless apprentice and on a plain are my favourite lesser known songs. And dive and aneurysm too.
One crazy timed riff
