Kurt is the master...of downplaying himself. He knew exactly what he was doing and acted as if it was an accident. He was brilliantly modest and genius. That's part of his charm. He made every kid, including me, know they could pick up a guitar and play from the heart. Learning by just watching his hands and ear, I rejected lessons. He was "The Man Who Sold the World."
Nirvana is and will always be my number 1 favourite band of all time. I find that I'm liking a certain band or artist in periods from time to time. But if I hear any Nirvana song anywhere, it triggers something emotional in me, and I either turn up the volume or scream at the top of my lunges, TURN IT UUUUUP!
I feel so protective of him...even though he's not around anymore. Thank you for your art, Kurt. We love you and hope you are at peace wherever you are.
There are still great bands in the world such as: Being Dead, Fontaines DC, Royal Otis. Other people I would put in the same category as Kurt with regards of dying too soon and keeping us wondering "what if?" would be The Exploding Hearts and Jay Reatard.
Why is it that whenever anyone talks Nirvana they never mention one of the best in my opinion... Incesticide? They recorded more than 3 albums.. and if you include all the other underground/bootleg stuff they've recorded about as much as the Beatles. Just my 2 cents.. and yeah.. to all that commented on how lithium was played.. I was thinking the same.. the details were off for sure. To anyone learning this stuff.. yes it's easy to play the chords.. but it's all the little details that make Kurt's playing sound amazing and the song great. Keep rockin y'all🤘
i hope they make a kurt cobain biography film like they did with freddie mercury and queen. i know montage of heck is out there, but im talking about a reenactment of his life and his band. he is iconic and im surprised there isn’t anything like that
I was LITERALLY Freshman in High School when Smells Like Teen Spirit dropped and the endless amazing albums of the 90s that followed. Truly the voice of my generation - GEN X
The studio version of Pennyroyal Tea has a bridge/interlude part that sounds so beautiful, heavy, dynamic. Makes me sad that nobody talks about it. It stars around 1min40s in the song.
When I got back from Iraq, I wanted to use some of my war money to buy a new electric with a shorter scale. I couldn't find a lefty guitar at all. Finally, I asked if they had a Jag-Stang, and they could not. I was incredibly annoyed at the fact that a custom build guitarist for a lefty player wasn't available left handed.
One of my idols. He would hate me using that word but he would love that he inspired me to be myself and be passionate and compassionate to others. R.I.P.
I always hated Rock but I didn't know Nirvana I found it in 2023 it was the type of music I was looking for for a long time I have all the songs watch all the shows that exist on TH-cam Also the story of each band member, watch documentaries etc.
6:06.. "it looks.. really.. interesting".. that's a way of politely not saying "it's ugly and deformed".. hahaha.. I love Kurt and Nirvana, but fender guitar designs were never eye candy for me.. 😂
"17 Grammys and 27 nominations" Uhmm... I think you need to get your facts straight. Kurt never won a Grammy (except for Unplugged album after his death)
i love kurt, liked seeing a bit behind the musical inspiration in his songwriting. It was cool to see Ayla, i remember her from that one weezer music video
@@kerryholland4822 if you watched how kurt actually played the song you would know there were only a few different ways he played it and you would know this one is the wrong way
@@kurts_left_nut shut up bozo, she played the correct chords, she just played barred versions of them, she played it perfectly fine, kurt would always play his songs in different and weird ways due to him not wanting to always correctly tune his guitars, so just be quite because you clearly know nothing
Yo Musora ! ....... Good work on this vid It was short but straight to the point with many details that other (mini or long) documentaries fail to do. Thank You , was a real treat watching this
What a great video. I am subscribing. Also there is a YT short where Kurt shreds with Eddie Van Halen in the audience, Its like 1:49 long- but its great.
"The only way to get those authentic Nirvana tones"...umm...you do realize that he never actually played the JagStang on any recordings. Also, he typically played Strats, or Mosrites; on occasion he played Jaguars and of course his Mustang, but mostly strats cause they were abundant and cheap.
I agree with almost all of that except the Strats, he used the Jaguar far more than he used any of his strats. The most played strats he had were the black vandalism one, and the white one with the K records design on it. He played way more Mustangs and the Jag. But I agree, they didn’t really do any research for this, they also said Kurt Cobain had 17 Grammy’s, nirvana only have 6 and he only has 1 individually. Like wtf.
She beat the living shit out of the verse of lithium. No subtlety. As if she didn't know how. The contrast isn't just from distortion to clean but how it's picked. Palm muted sparsely in the verses in a very nuanced way.
Yeah, and she used way too much chorus, the chorus is barely present on lithium just barely phasing essentially. Also, they said it was the 30th anniversary of Nevermind, when they meant in utero, after all, he didn’t play jagstang a until the in utero tour.
Shame on me, but what Song is it in the beginninh of the Video? The one with Kurt singing about an Alien or something? Sounded damn good, want to listen the wohle song
I saw them in 1990 in Seattle at the Motorsports International Garage on the night that Grohl was in the audience and seeing them for the first time. Grohl was approached soon after and joined the band, and they recorded Nevermind shortly thereafter.
This just is so ignorant and surface, dave wrote the scentless aprentice riff, kurt didn’t smash his jaguar and he took care of most of hos mustangs. He smashed Univox High Fliers and other Japanese 60s guitars along with some strats like the vandalism that had multiple necks put onto it after getting thrown or smashed so many times.
Yeah, they didn’t do like any research. They also said he “won 17 Grammy’s” when he only ever won one, and nirvana won 6. So 7 total. And the way she played lithium was all sorts of weird. Didn’t mention needing a chorus pedal for nirvana tones, bc there’s plenty of that.
@shammusomalley8986 Where can I find more information on this? I figured it was because he became a cult type figure and they were afraid he would convince people to break the conditioning, or something along those lines.
Honestly what is the point is describing the 'theory' behind the chord progressions for Kurt? TH-cam music people just can't help themselves! It's completely irrelevant to 99.99% of people and to musicians. Kurt didn't create any of these songs with this in mind, he obviously didn't even know theory, like most good musicians. There is no theory, and it never fits into the theory box of what chord "should" come next or notes that 'dont belong' (!), and theory nerds are always really shocked when an out of key chord or note is played! This is what they just don't get, it's the ignorance of theory that makes good songs.
Dude he was definitely into the theory behind songwriting, even if he didn't think of things in an "academic" way. Theory is just an easy way to communicate patterns, it's like learning notation as a chess player. The youtubers you're watching are just giving credit to his songwriting. He was such a a huge Beatles fan growing up and absolutely put that influence into account when writing his songs, most of these theory nerds just enjoy pointing out the similarities/spins he put on his songwriting. His talent was as an artist and songwriter, not a guitarist or frontman. What they're talking about applies to most of us watching
@@jblou He wasn't, at all, you just don't know enough about nirvana yet. You can easily do these songs without knowing anything about theory you just need an ear for what chords sound good together, and Kurt's best talent ended up being melody and songwriting anyway. And you mention Beatles, Paul can't even read music and barely knows the names of all the chords, but he just experimented constantly with combinations.
@@jblou and every time these TH-cam theory nerds always have a moment of being shocked by an 'unusual' chord choice, because their brains are so limited and trained into doing things a certain way they'll never do anything truly interesting. Nirvana are a punk band firstly.
A genius is someone who has a life time of incredible work and remained a master of his/her craft. Think of Nikola Tesla, Elon Musk, Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Michelangelo, Albrecht Dürer, Pablo Picasso, Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, John Lennon, Paul McCartney. Kurt had one song. Let's not get carried away. Butch Vig did an incredible job producing Teen Spirit. He's the genius. If Zeppelin only wrote Whole Lotta Love, would they be remembered? Of course, but would they be geniuses, no. The Beatles had a catalogue of 200+ songs with over a 100 of them as good or better than Teen Spirit. Any massive hit is an incredible artistic achievement, but one hit wonders are still just an ephemeral wonder. Idolize who you wish, just stay grounded in reality.
1. Elon Musk is an odd choice for that list. 2. One hit? I have to assume you’re not in the least familiar with Nirvana or Kurt’s other artistic output?
Kurt Cobain was soooooo far from a genius. Drug addict that committed suicide. As a guitarist for thirty years there’s one quitarist that’s NEVER brought up and thats Kurt Cobain because he kind of sucked at it and was offended by great players so he made it his point to actually suck and sound bad and he succeeded.
He was murdered, jackass. And you should watch Rick Beato’s breakdowns of Heart Shaped Box, You Know You’re Right, Teen Spirit etc. Kurt was a phenomenal musician. Instinctive and honest, not showy. And his wordplay and melody writing are superb. There’s a reason why he’s still inspiring new generations 30 years after his death.

So true. Fontaines DC & Royel Otis have been on repeat lately!
She didn't mention KDCs use of the SansAmp (pedal) - especially on In Utero - to get that realistic Nirvana tone...
They didn’t even mention the Small clone chorus, even though she used chorus all over that demo, when their isn’t even any chorus in lithium. 😂
hahah you fixed it! absolutely loved this 👍
Couldn't have that hanging over my head forever 😅
This was a great mini doc, thank you for finding and sharing that footage!

If you love music enough like Kurt did then you don’t need talent or skill just freedom

He played it like that in 94
