To appreciate Cobain is to appreciate what the guitar exists for. Some people don’t like Nirvana due to taste which is fine. Putting taste aside then consider the guitar is a tool to communicate and express yourself with. Kurt is the embodiment of that purpose. He wasn’t showy because it didn’t serve the songs that he wrote. Frankly I think the music suffers if Kurt would’ve been hung up on soaring solos and technical wizardry. He was most of all a punk guitarist and there is an urgency and simplicity required. There is still beauty in raw and simple things.
Great video, Aero Zeppelin itself is a masterclass of riffimg the shit out of a guitar and so its the whole bleach album. Fun fact that no one seems to care is that the first strum of smells like teen spirit is done with an upstroke or so my ears hear. Good job, Kurt was a genius indeed and probably the last truly rockstar.
I don't qualify Kurt being a genius. I mean, I like he's work well some, but he's kinda not good at the same time. But his passion comeing through the music helps most of the time.
Glad to see oh the guilt and curmudgeon on the list! A little bonus favorite riff of mine is "talk to me" one of Kurts most new wave sounding songs, sounds like a grungy cars song
God I haven't listened to Nirvana in like two years, and whilst that may not seem like much, apparently it was enough for me to completely forget how good their music is. Add on that I am better at bass than I was then and re-learned the basslines by ear, and they are a lot more in depth than I remember
I saw the subrirles man, it is so kind to talk with your subs like with your friend. Mb i'm little bit late but i' ve got hyper x cloud alpha s as a present and metallica t shirt. Have a good luck and keep going playing the guitar !

@@britinlondon2391 You sure go out of your way to tell everybody they're wrong for complimenting Kurt. It's kind of bizarre how many comments I see you in shitting on people's opinion. Not only that, but you seem like one of those mid-level guitarists who's at the point on the skill curve where your interest is in technical proficiency and think that's the only thing that qualifies as good, but you're still well below the point where you understand the nuances of music and how difficult it is to write exceptional music. Being good, or even a genius, isn't about how technical you are. Some of the "best" guitarists have a catalog full of forgettable songs that don't cross the line of impact and influence. Meanwhile, somebody like Kurt has a catalog absolutely bursting at the seams with incredibly impactful and influential songs. Even their least known songs are absolute gems of riff, melody, harmony, rhythm, etc. Kurt was incredibly gifted and arguably genius level with what he did.

How could you make a 19 min video and skip Love Buzz! while including songs like Stain, come oon. I know it's not a Nirvana original but they made it their own. Those riffs should be on there! Pretty cool you included a lot of lesser known songs though.
It’s like a flea market, or a community yard sale. Knowing Kurt’s sense of humor though, it may have been intended with some dirty sexual innuendo i.e. swapping meat… but that’s just my guess hahaha
My subtitles turned on automatically and actually, I was surprised that you write some stuff there. From now on I'm gonna make sure that subtitles are on during your videos)
Привет! Читал субтитры, на рождество мне подарили 500 гривен) так непривычно слушать нирвану так технично исполненую, конечно ничего сложного, но так четко сыграно все:))))) клево играешь)
не обижайся, но на мой взгляд, hairspray queen имеет больше аккордов и у курта звучало куда интереснее. Ваще, сколько лет даже десятков лет я знаю эту группу и проникся к этой песне лишь не очень давно... как же круто и ломано он её сыграл. Ну тем не менее, большинство тут прозвучавших хорошо отыграны. К слову говоря, Курт считается средненьким гитаристом. Я к тому, что курт не умел сыграть нечто подобное с такой же скоростью...: Necrophagist - Stabwound Yngwie J. Malmsteen - Vengeance Polyphia - Aviator (тут вот соло на 2:40 примерно попробуй сыграть... просто жесть... там виртуоз).
Kurt wasn’t afraid to take that simple little riff you come up with on the spot and turn it into a whole song
Such a good way of putting it.
Excelente comentario, no pudistes describirlo mejor
normally thats the most fresh riffs you can make, not that much overthinking often is better
“Nobody dies a virgin... Life fucks us all.”
Kurt Cobain
I turned on subtitles!
i love that quote
lol
Cobain is just underrated as a guitarist, he created simple but probably some of the most memorable and coolest riffs ever
Dude nobody underestimates him.
He is literally on every list of the best guitarists there is.

I would even say they easy to write, but it's not that easy to build a song around them.

True that’s what people forget.
I could make a simple riff but never amount to any success to the level Kurt did with his creativity.
@@youreokayboah2128 it’s so frustrating wring riffs in this style because it’s daunting trying to get something that sounds as good as Kurt’s riffs.

agreed

Thanks for sharing some light on Kurt Cobains guitar playing. Everyone always talks about his singing.
I would still say singing was clearly his strength
shining some light
riff writing*
Bleach is really underrated.
oh I like that you write stuff in the subtitles ! live the riffs you picked and you right, nirvana has do many awesome less know songs
starting off with Mr Butterworth, my endless respect for going so deep
😍 for Blandest.
Some of this stuff honestly borders heavy metal
The whole Bleach album sounds metal. Especially Blew and Negative Creep
all the best riffs on Bleach were. Paper Cuts, Scoff, Swap Meet, Mr. Mustache, Sifting.
God I haven't listened to Nirvana in like two years, and whilst that may not seem like much, apparently it was enough for me to completely forget how good their music is.

Cobain was one of the greatest riffmasters of all time. He could do simple, jagged, heavy, clean...and he'd somehow wind melodies over it.
Enjoyed the riffs and the subtitles man!

Btw, this video is amazing
Ultimate guitar
I love your videos so much I was sitting in my room eating ramen and watching this makes my day 10000% better
Cobain is metal AF
More like punk
Well you could say bleach is more metal sounding...but it's also very punk. Mix the two together and you get grunge.

A lot of these riffs are closer to Rust In Peace than Nevermind
No?
Though there is a lot of 123 or 321321 etc things going on. Reminded me a bit of what Mustaine likes to do
I think it'd be cool to come to this video only knowing Nevermind, and then hearing some of his older 'grungier' riffs.
Christmas was Fine, I got an Iron Maiden sweatshirt
Kurt is definitely one of the greatest guitarists of all time
He is the second jimi hendrix in guitar and second john lennon in vocals
Im pretty sure that Grohl wrote the riff to Scentless apprentice, still great video!
Kurt e muito talentoso, faz riff base de guitarra,um excelente letrista canta e toca guitarra não e pra qualquer um..
His pre- bleach Era stuff was just the most interesting imho. And then, after nevermind, he returned to that
Great job and thanks for creating this video. It reminds me what a great riffmeister Kurt was. 🤘🎸🤘🤘

There is no point in being a super technical guitarist when you cant write songs. Music is about expression, passion, creativity. Its not a sport.
