@@yobotbeats krist wrote most of the bass lines but a few of them Kurt wrote I'm not sure about all of them but I'm pretty sure Kurt wrote "she only lies".
My big brother started showing me how to play these riffs at age 10. He learned Kurt's riffs and we recorded our Nirvana covers on a tape recorder. He passed away 6 years ago. If it wasn't for Kurt Krist and my brother Tony I wouldn't be a musician.
What I like about nirvana is that the bass line often stands out. Usually basslines just follow the root notes of the guitar and you could play the song without bass. But from personal experience I can tell you that playing nirvana with only a drummer and a guitarist is very difficult
@@m4tt1afm51 he’s definitely underrated, hell, most people just know him as the guy who played bass for queen and wore a sweater. There are probably less known out there tbh like Noel Redding
Nirvana's basslines are amazing. Krist did such an amazing job on every single one of them. I love Kurt and the guitar riffs. I love Dave and the drums. But krist often gets overshadowed
His bass playing philosophy was to "serve the song". Which he does masterfully. But he's not flashy. He just alternates down and upstrokes with a pick. Very simple and easily overlooked.
@@virtuaplayer7234 I was just saying that not many people talk about krist when they're talking about nirvana, it's always Kurt and maybe Dave that come to mind first even though Krist wrote some really good basslines.
@@Histgyph I should’ve said “a good one.” I guess I was saying “another good one” conversationally, as in “I haven’t heard that in a while” and not as “you missed blew”
Ohhh love buzz ❤ And Blew... and Lounge Act and.. oh man Novoselic is a good one. Miss Kurt. Glad Dave has the Foo Fighters now.. But still the good old days of my early teens... time flies. Thank you for the video!
lol as soon as i saw this title the first thing i thought of was the Sliver bass line, i clicked the video, and of course that was the first one you played. def my fav nirvana bass riff, the solo bass intro is so catchy!
Dude in the middle of lithium when he plays the I like it im not gonna crack part there is like a little sliver (pun intended) of bass and its SO HYPNOTIC
Happy Birthday Kurdt!!
the blonde one
Happy Birthday Kurt 🤘🔥🔥🔥 we missed you R.I.P 🕊🕊🕊
Happy birthday
what
@@brian_ego what
you cant play these riffs unless you are barefoot and have your bass nearly touching the floor
And are approximately 100 ft tall
@@victrolatunes520 lol yes
That's the only way to play bass
And you have to be jumping while playing
And 6 foot 7 lol
Nirvana has some great bass. Novoselic is a great bassist.
Agreed!
I think so too.
Wait, who write all of bass riffs? Its not only cobain? Or maybe novoselic write something, but curt do this biggest than krist? I rly dont know
@@yobotbeats krist wrote most of the bass lines but a few of them Kurt wrote I'm not sure about all of them but I'm pretty sure Kurt wrote "she only lies".
He's one of the most underrated bass players ever

RIP to your brother
What an amazing memory to have, sorry for your loss
When “About a girl” came on, all I could sing was
“I need an EASZEEH THRWILL”
and the fking bongos kick in

Not a lot of margin for error for sure. Slip up one time on In Bloom haha
I agree!
The beauty of a 3 piece band
Novoselic is a shockingly underrated melodic bassist, you really did him justice
I think John Deacon is the most underrated
@@m4tt1afm51 he’s definitely underrated, hell, most people just know him as the guy who played bass for queen and wore a sweater. There are probably less known out there tbh like Noel Redding
@@m4tt1afm51 I wasn't talking about who was the most underrated though
@@samharradence5689 yes I know, It was only an opinion
All bassists are underrated! Most people just don’t appreciate what the bass brings to music. Everybody turns the bass nob up though!

A little fun fact :
Did u Know that in the group Sweet 75 krist IS a guitariste 😯
I did not expect to see She Only Lies on a list ever. Mad respect my dude
That's cause it's not a nirvana song. It's an unrealesed Kurt jam.
sounds so good
I think In bloom should be here too, it has a pretty cool bassline, but anyways great video!
True. Thanks!
@Shitpost random y mas okay bass police
Yeah that’s probably my favorite bassline
@Shitpost random y mas bass riff and bassline are the same thing. The line merely refers to the line of sheet music.
@Shitpost random y mas being the intro to the song doesn't mean it's not a bass riff.
Thirty years later and the bass riff in Blew still blows my mind.
Kurt's too
I guess it blew you away
Remember one thing when playing bass: don't throw it straight up in the air! Sorry Krist; couldn't resist
I've done this one too many times
the simplicity in nirvana's songs is what i cant get over
thats what makes them great, catchy and accessible, so people can play and appreciate the melodies
Krist is such an underrated bassist.
Yeah... the legendary nirvana's bassist, international idol and forever in the history of rock and music in general, he is underrated. 🥱🥱🥱
Agreed
No. He's not underrated wtf. Stop acting like Nirvana is this underground band that no one listen to it's ridiculous.
@@virtuaplayer7234 I was just saying that not many people talk about krist when they're talking about nirvana, it's always Kurt and maybe Dave that come to mind first even though Krist wrote some really good basslines.
@@professorpigeon3069 That's the point. He's the bass player not the frontman what did you expect? He's not underrated as a bassist.
Tomorrow Kurt Cobain Birthday, i'm so happy
'Cause today I found my friends
In my head im so ugly
@@starcast5477 that’s ok cause so are you
Broke our mirror
Sunday morning is everyday for all i care
Krist is a very underrated bassist
not really, he is awesome, but not underrated
He's not underrated
if you consider how popular nirvana is i’d say he’s rated, but more on the underrated side of being rated.
Not underrated
Heart Shaped Box's bassline is so powerful
In bloom would be an honorable mention but overall this is a solid list!
Man I really need to get a bass
i didn't know you were here
And we watch the same person lol
Thinking abt it too
Me too. Was looking at getting his exact bass when video popped up. You can get this one for £170
Did you get a bass? Let's find out
Great video. Blew is a good one. Such an iconic album-opener.
He has blew in this video
@@Histgyph I should’ve said “a good one.” I guess I was saying “another good one” conversationally, as in “I haven’t heard that in a while” and not as “you missed blew”
The bass rift for Lounge Act is ridiculously good. Krist is an animal.
Lounge Act was the first bassline I learned when I got my first bass, absolutely amazing bassline to that song...that and the Seinfeld theme...
Lounge act definitely deserve to be on here. Nice list!
Great one to start it off! And awesome you had she only lies in there
I like that one, had to put it in there.
When ever I think nirvana and a bass
I always think of Blew
While hearing the bass in my mind is playing the whole song im not the only one right?
Most times, people are mainly hearing the bass on songs they like, but they don't realise it.
@@AttackMyClone this is so me
Who else can hear Dave's drum playing and Kurt's guitar playing and voice?
On a Plain has an amazing bassline
Lounge act is such a good bass line
Nivana's bass lines are amazing. Novoselic is one of the most underrated bassists. Amazing cover, man 👏👏

What I have noticed about bass is it can be the most simple instrument but at the same time the hardest one.
awesome
Ohhh love buzz ❤
And Blew... and Lounge Act and.. oh man Novoselic is a good one.
Miss Kurt.
Glad Dave has the Foo Fighters now..
But still the good old days of my early teens... time flies. Thank you for the video!
Lounge Act sounds like a dope ska bass line.
I really love the repetitive bass line of Love Buzz. It always makes me want to dance.
Lounge act...deu vontade d chorar...misto de saudade.. emoção..e coisas q só a música pode nos proporcionar
I was just thinking of this channel
Dead on as usual sir! Salute!
This was great to see. Can we get some Alice In Chains Bass ?
Oddly enough, these songs could work as a "best of" compilation. My favorite Nirvana song is "Dive," so I was glad to see that made the list.
10 Alice in Chains bass riffs please!!!
Dive is my fav Nirvana's song.
Didn't expect to see She only lies it was the first song I learned on the bass
awesome like always (and i didnt even watched the video)
I appreciate your support!
Launge act is the best! i just love it
2:40
Hmmm you wanna steal my job 🤪 awesome video, as usual, keep on rocking!
Haha Thanks!
Hearing just the bass line for hair spray queen is somewhat refreshing
Good job man!
Thank you.
@@bloxsy_ You're welcome!
That’s a sick bass.
That bass intro to Dive has always been my favorite
Lounge act >>
i like love buzz the most but should admit that how mindblowing lounge act is.
hey just a little criticism to help you, you should probably play with all four fingers because it is a lot more convenient
Pinky Independence is surprisingly one of the hardest things to learn for playing guitar
@@moogibeans9822 Then you try learning Snow (Hey Oh)...
Sliver was what I was expecting to hear and it came up first. Super video. What a bassist Novoselic is
lol as soon as i saw this title the first thing i thought of was the Sliver bass line, i clicked the video, and of course that was the first one you played. def my fav nirvana bass riff, the solo bass intro is so catchy!
As soon as Hairspray Queen came on
“I wazzzzz yorrrr maynnnnn yuuu waz myneeee” 😂
Great dude! You deserve a lot more subscribers
Thank you.
el riff de Lounge Act es épico.
It’s so nice to concentrate on the bass, I would never have imagine a video on -bass riffs ❤️
Dude I love dive! I just love songs that start off with bass and than the distortion comes in. It just feels great. Same with blew.
I’ve been waiting oh so long for this
Krist Novoselic is such an underrated bassist, especially considering that he's from such a popular band. He's one of my favorites.
0:36
Never realized the bass in About a Girl had such intricate notes. Cool stuff
Dude in the middle of lithium when he plays the I like it im not gonna crack part there is like a little sliver (pun intended) of bass and its SO HYPNOTIC
Dude you killed every song! Always excited to see bloxys new posts. One of the most talented musicians
My Favorite Bass Riff Is Everybody's Favorite Or Not Actually
Lounge Act Hands Down
I love hairspray queen so much thanks for including it in the video
I mean this in the nicest way, but this mans posture is god tier
