Kurt was such an incredible guitarist. He used a super simple amount of chords, mixed with pleasing melodies to create some of the most catchy rock songs ever.
I could be wrong, but I have always thought that VCV and Old Age were maybe Strat songs? I'm hoping my current strat build that's in the works will help get close to those but we'll see
As for YKYR, I've been wanting to do that one for a long time but I am struggling with how I am going to replicate that insane feedback that happens after the first chorus. My goal has always been to not only replicate tones but also the playing style. Tone wise that one is no problem, but to replicate Kurt's mastery of feedback control is hard!
I've been listening to Nirvana since 1993 and can play every song that's seen the light of day on drums... I would absolutely love to jam Nirvana all day with you man! You sound identical to Kurt...
The tones are incredible, I was surprised to hear the massive amount of change in tonal quality and characteristics between each guitar, all of them sounded very different from each other, this video puts to rest all the false beliefs that Kurt's tone was very easy to acquire.
I love Nirvana and your channel was the whole reason I really started listening to them. Some of my favorite songs by Nirvana would probably be: Mr. Mustache, Aneurysm, Sappy, Marigold, School, Territorial Pissings, and Tourette’s. Your channel has also been a huge inspiration to get back into guitar, and to start trying to build Kurt guitars of my own. I hope you have a wonderful day and keep creating the amazing recreations of the gorgeous guitars that Kurt had throughout the years. R.I.P. Kurt ❤
This cat is a dope ass guitar player. Watching all his videos has made me realize that I never really learned many all of the riffs of nirvanas catalog. Watching him do the rhythms of basically every album track by track has inspired me to do a video doing the songs just for myself
Whenever I’m sharing my AirPods with other person I always put on son of a gun and their reaction to the sudden fire alarm at the beginning is always priceless 😂
I'm very impressed, not only at how close you've come with replicating the various tones he used, but in how authentic the playing is on a lot of these. You really have a lot of those little Kurtisms down. A good example of this is your chord strumming on Come As You Are. That guitar combined with your technique sounds totally like Kurt. Then on Heart Shaped Box, the riff is very accurate and you also get that little moment -- Kurt liked to upstroke a couple strings of a chord without a whole lot of regard to which exact strings he was going to play. Generally in the D-G-B area. He did this in a bunch of songs, like Rape Me.
NOOO, i wanted to see the premiere the second it got out but i was busy writing a song, love your stuff man keep going ill try to get to the next premiere
Brilliant, tone, playing style, very impressive, amazing to see smells like teen spirit not number one for a change Kurt was so much more than that riff. Serve the servants and dive - very under rated riffs in my opinion. My number one is radio friendly unit shifter along with come as you are, different ends of the spectrum but my two favourite nirvana songs ever.
Great riffs to play for sure!! I was hoping for Endless Nameless because I personally thought the song was genius in the way of how a song would usually need chords and a catchy riff but, Endless Nameless proved that you can write anything from a guitar tbh in my own personal opinion which is why I love it a lot. My favorite riff from this list was Big Cheese!! Keep it up ❤
Great work, I gotta say the Jagstand and the Mustang Signature really impressed me, love that dirty sound Surprising no to see Drain You in the list AND please you that pinky on your left hand ahah
Ima just lay it out here, I'd you ever wanna cover any other band, I'm 100% down. Your videos are just so cozy, crazy informative and fun! Love all your stuff! :)
Eric, do you ever think you'll get a Harmony Stella 12 string model? That was the nevermind acoustic used for Polly. It'd be interesting to see in the future, also great recreations!
I actually just missed out on one a few weeks ago!! That one still hurts, I thought I was going to get it lol 🥲 I've been keeping an eye out for one for a long time, hoping to find a good deal eventually
They are!! The one I saw was a local listing for $400. I was freaking out when I found that. Tried making plans with the seller to get it, but then they said "it has been sold, I just forgot to take the listing down." I was heartbroken lol
Does anyone notice hes doing a similar playing sryle to kurt cobain, which i recommend because it makes it handier to move around the fret board and gives u time for placement while playing fast,its where u stretch ur hand away from the fret board between chords and melodies, its a very smart move
This is amazing I’ve been waiting for this. But can somebody tell me what type of hot rails are on Kurt cobain’s VMAs strat. And also can you do the cow palace show it’s my favourite show nirvana ever performed?
I don't think it's known exactly what type of hot rails they were. My guess would be a white 90's SHR-1B. Once I have hot rails and a TOM on my comp stang, I can try for cow palace!
In mr moustache when he starts sing im new you actually have to start gowing half a stelp lower on you power cords from 3 g chord. It makes more sense what i said if you listen to the song very closely
Your great at replicating kurt one of the best.. you should consider doing a full tutorial on how to play Nirvana songs now be a teacher of sorts your great at explaining things!
That guitar is such an anomaly, 2 single coils but sounds absolutely massive and thick with distortion. Especially when paired with a DS-1. I can see why Kurt favored while he had it, but will never understand why he destroyed it beyond repair. I've always wondered if he ended up regretting trashing that one, it's such an amazing guitar!
Every time you see the ET270 in this video, I am using my Pine Street settings with it 😃 Those settings are shown here: th-cam.com/video/Pkc88Zd_U84/w-d-xo.html
Oh, my comment vanished. ... There were also the ET-275, ET-278, and ET-290 models that were Epiphone Crestwood or Wilshire type, but with full-sized humbuckers instead of P90s or Mini Humbuckers. Those look good to me, and Ricky Wilson (B-52s) had one, but not as his primary. ET-275: With -Tremolo- Vibrato* Tailpiece like the ET-270. (I refuse to call the tailpiece what it is not, unlike Fender.) ET-278: I've seen one with the Vibrato Tail, but this is *supposed* to have a Gibson TOM style Stoptail. ET-290: I've seen one in Natural (Stripped?) and one that was in a sort of Red Burst, with the Red on the edges. These have a Gibson TOM style Tailpiece, and this is the one Ricky had. * Vibrato means "changing pitch." Tremolo means "changes of volume." Fender's been goofing up the two for decades on end.
Hi Eric I love this video. The Best Riff On Here Was I Hate Myself And Want To Die. I think that song is very underrated. But you could have added Lithium, Drain You, Polly, Dumb, Something In The Way, and Endless Nameless.
This is amazing! I've been trying to get a similar distortion to the in utero tone, my main amp is a blackstar ht 20 and i'm using a ds1, is there other gear you would recommend?
I’d love to see a video in the same vein as your Ivy League video walking through Beeswax, that’s a song I don’t think I’ve seen played correctly until this video
That'd be a good one to make a lesson for! Honestly I'm not 100% sure if I'm playing the chorus part right, but to my ears that's what it sounds like he's doing in the studio version

Thank you so much for making videos with settings, I actually use them
Kurt was such an incredible guitarist. He used a super simple amount of chords, mixed with pleasing melodies to create some of the most catchy rock songs ever.
I don't know, but some of those looked a tad complicated...
One of the best guitarists. Imo the best of his generation, colliding with Jerry Cantrell
@@CrownlessRavenFinally someone mentionsJimmy Cantrell, he is imo one of the best guitarist that I've heard
@@pizzapestopasta4980 don’t forget Billy Corgan, Daniel Johns and Kim Thayil. They were great too
He had a ghost writer post bleach.
15:03 to me this is their best riff. So damn heavy and breathtaking. Its like if adrenaline was canalized to a riff
Yea it's actually my favorite Nirvana song
yes oh my god it’s so good
Played with my band when we were 15 this was so cool
Yes Blew Is One Of The Most Popular Songs On Bleach
I think in bloom is one of their best
Now just wait for full recreation of Incesticide and outtake songs like Verse Chorus Verse
Don't forget the outtake old age
Nah we need that You know you’re right recreation
These are all great songs, I'd love to see VCV and YKYR covered
I could be wrong, but I have always thought that VCV and Old Age were maybe Strat songs? I'm hoping my current strat build that's in the works will help get close to those but we'll see

My goal has always been to not only replicate tones but also the playing style. Tone wise that one is no problem, but to replicate Kurt's mastery of feedback control is hard!
I’m surprised drain you didn’t make the list. That song is ridiculously fun to play
Same With Lithium, Polly, Dumb, Something In The Way, And Very Ape.
@@Georgeisjawa and About A Girl
@@najlis1784 yup. That’s another great one.
@@Georgeisjawa or endless, nameless or Rape Me
This is one of those songs that you may not want to play, but you still play when you pick up the guitar.
Respect for changing shirts for each era
I wore the same shirt in this whole video! But that would've been a good idea haha didn't think of that
@@NirvanaGuitarsCome as you are tshirt is different at 13:40.
Nice vid bro!
He didn’t tho
always amazes me how different each riff is
Awesome as always, man, Kurt definitely wrote some timeless guitar parts
I've been listening to Nirvana since 1993 and can play every song that's seen the light of day on drums...
I would absolutely love to jam Nirvana all day with you man!
You sound identical to Kurt...
Really happy you put radio friendly unit shifter 1st, that riff is beastly, also really fun to play
the best top of Nirvana's riffs, everything here is amazing selection of riffs, guitars, everything
The tones are incredible, I was surprised to hear the massive amount of change in tonal quality and characteristics between each guitar, all of them sounded very different from each other, this video puts to rest all the false beliefs that Kurt's tone was very easy to acquire.
Amazing! A Nirvana fan that doesnt hate popular songs just because theyre popular
impossible!! teen spirit bad!

Great video! You should do one were you create five original riffs in the style of each studio album nirvana has ever recorded.
😮 That's a really cool idea!!
@@NirvanaGuitars yes! I’d definitely watch that (not that I don’t watch all of them already lmao)
Can You Do one with the tone from I Hate Myself And Want To Die?
Mate, the TONE. You nailed it. Congrats 🙌

this is such an underrated channel!
Wow thank you! 🙏🏻
Great playing and riff choices!
Thank you!

Paper cuts man! ❤ I loved it as well as Negative Creep 🤟😎
NOOO, i wanted to see the premiere the second it got out but i was busy writing a song, love your stuff man keep going ill try to get to the next premiere
Thanks for the support, and I love that you were writing a song! Art always comes first 🎶 There will be more premieres in the future 😊
@@NirvanaGuitars thanks man i look up to your skill you're awesome man

Lol Mr. mustache was so on point it’s crazy
Can wait for Incesticide, In Utero, Dale Demo, Fecal Matter, Nirvana 1988 and Bleach Tour Stuff! Good job man keep up the good work 😊
the radio shack music videos...
Perfect man perfect I love this so much I will be watching many times
Everything was spot on I really enjoy your videos keep it up

Surprising no to see Drain You in the list AND please you that pinky on your left hand ahah
Ima just lay it out here, I'd you ever wanna cover any other band, I'm 100% down. Your videos are just so cozy, crazy informative and fun! Love all your stuff! :)
Love how u hold bleach so highly. Best album ever
This is impressive. Congrats!
Kurt wrote so many awesome riffs it’s hard to pick a favorite. Great video!
I like how jazzmaster is all of my favourite nirvana songs.
12 hours can't wait to watch
Heart Shapped box is one of my favorites
Eric, do you ever think you'll get a Harmony Stella 12 string model? That was the nevermind acoustic used for Polly. It'd be interesting to see in the future, also great recreations!

@@NirvanaGuitars Ah man that's a real shame. I've been trying to hunt one down for some time too, they're real expensive for the correct ones
They are!! The one I saw was a local listing for $400. I was freaking out when I found that. Tried making plans with the seller to get it, but then they said "it has been sold, I just forgot to take the listing down." I was heartbroken lol
@@NirvanaGuitars That would have been such a lucky grab! Unfortunate it was sold
I know right?? Here's to both of us hopefully finding a reasonably priced Stella Harmony soon 🤞 🤞
I like your videos thay are a lot of fun to watch
radio friendly first on the list, perfect
Some of the Bleach and Incesticide riffs remind me how underrated Kurt was. Hats off for Big Cheese 👌
Big Cheese Is My Favorite Song On Bleach.
Amazing video as always! All the tones are spot on. I'm curious about your Vandalism Strat, does it have the 59N in it?
good picks. especially unit shifter
Got to listen to some new songs, also, great work!
Number 1 is so true, great list
I'm dying to hear him try the demo drain you with the competition Mustang, I wanna build one soo bad
This is an epic channel!!!
perfect sound bro!!
Does anyone notice hes doing a similar playing sryle to kurt cobain, which i recommend because it makes it handier to move around the fret board and gives u time for placement while playing fast,its where u stretch ur hand away from the fret board between chords and melodies, its a very smart move
Paper Cuts is just such an amazing riff. It's haunting, yet so rock outable
The most djenty nirvana riff…but doesn’t even sound that djenty
You have a LOT OF KURT GUITAR! my god ! Great
i love RFUS being number one. that song is amazing and the bridge has crack in it. def in the top 5 by kurt
beeswax goes so incredibly hard
Bro has all the Kurt Cobain guitars
Kinda part of his whole channel
Bickt!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Team-xl7pt what?
If you haven’t looked at the channel name….
Such a amazing video! Well done for sure for sure.
Thank you so much!
This is amazing I’ve been waiting for this. But can somebody tell me what type of hot rails are on Kurt cobain’s VMAs strat. And also can you do the cow palace show it’s my favourite show nirvana ever performed?

Fantastic!
glad to see here some of the hidden gems i love
In mr moustache when he starts sing im new you actually have to start gowing half a stelp lower on you power cords from 3 g chord. It makes more sense what i said if you listen to the song very closely
Nvm you did it sry didnt notice my bad
All of my 5 favourite Nirvana songs (Tourette's, Paper Cuts, Serve The Servants, Heart-Shaped Box and In Bloom) are on this list, which is great.
Your the first one I e seen play the intro to teen spirit correctly.
Excellent job on the strumming.
This is great ❤❤😊
Nice, but everyone knows that Thirty was actually Number One. It was Opposite Day when he posted this video.
You're a good guitarist
Tocas muy bien bro te felicito seguí asi
0:35 Krist Novoselic left the chat
Your great at replicating kurt one of the best.. you should consider doing a full tutorial on how to play Nirvana songs now be a teacher of sorts your great at explaining things!
Kurt Cobain would be proud of you if he saw this! You are impressive with Nirvana related stuff!
Surprised drain you isn't there, but radio Friendly Unit Shifter Is a great choice at number 1 also dive at 2 is perfect two great songs
J étais au zénith paris 94 et le son de Kurt en live est très claquant voir brillant et aigu en vrai.
Bonne continuation
The tone your getting from the et270 if hefty holy sh*t

Can you make a tone recreation of nirvana live on nulle Paris 1994
Yes I'm currently working on that one!
@@NirvanaGuitars OMG THANK YOU MUCH ITS MY FAVORITE TONE
School sounded very accurate! Nice job!
12:52 i love how you did the lil rif from mtv unplugged
Congrats you bring those guitar back to live again
We wanna see best of Kurt’s guitar solos
It hurts a little that drain you didn’t make it but hey it’s you opinion so I respect it. All of these are still really good picks
one of my fav riffs has to be beeswax its metallica and ac/dc combined fucking fire
i wish i could hug you right now. jesus christ it's so good.
It's the thought that counts! Thanks for the virtual hug 🤩
I love that Et270 epiphone it sucks you can’t find them that well no more😢
pure dope thanks
Always thought that Even in his youth...in an underrated great song‼️
me waiting scentless apprentice
I love how the guitar in breed speaks to you or is it just me
Another banger 💥 🤯
Surprised no pennyroyal tea?
verse chorus verse is distugstingly underrated
Agree!
Amazing covers dude this was awesome 🎉 and I wanted to ask what is the best guitar and pedal for stoner rock tones
Thank you! From what I have used, I'd say probably a guitar with a JB or hot rails and a big muff. SUPER thick doomy distorted tones for days 😈
@@NirvanaGuitars thanks a lot!!!
I hope we get tone recreation of the smart sessions in full
Still working on those! So far have done Dive from those sessions
I think that surnburst w the cream pick-ups is your best guitar, sound and looks-wise.
the riffs on bleach shows he could be very technical when he wanted to.
I know im a bit tardy to the party here but i think your Dale Demo tone is the best
The Tone of Heart-Shaped Box is just Perfect 😭😭
Hi Eric I love this video. The Best Riff On Here Was I Hate Myself And Want To Die. I think that song is very underrated. But you could have added Lithium, Drain You, Polly, Dumb, Something In The Way, and Endless Nameless.
aaaaahhhhh!!! the mtv guitar is spot on!!!
Serve the servants is just so cool to me
This is amazing!
I've been trying to get a similar distortion to the in utero tone, my main amp is a blackstar ht 20 and i'm using a ds1, is there other gear you would recommend?
I’d love to see a video in the same vein as your Ivy League video walking through Beeswax, that’s a song I don’t think I’ve seen played correctly until this video
