Been waiting all day for this video to release, Mexican Seafood is definitely one of my favorite song & tone. Every tone is almost identical, very hard to tell the difference between the recording.
Wow thank you so much! Can't tell you how much that means 🙏 Mexican Seafood has been one of my favorite songs to play ever since I learned it!
Mexican seafood is my favorite of all time, pretty sad that is so underrated
@@NirvanaGuitarsThat and Beeswax! Absolutely LOVE the live one they play in Argentina in 92 😮
Im so happy my favourite TH-camr posted 😂 the 80s was the most interesting Nirvana years I think
That is an honor!! 🙏 Pre-Bleach era is so underrated and overlooked
YES!! FINALLY THE FULL DALE DEMO VIDEO!!!
🥳 Thank you for your patience!
@@NirvanaGuitars You’re welcome!! Also I found out some Eastwood hi-fliers are actually branded Univox so technically you have an actual univox just phase 4 instead of 3.
@@Georgeisjawa The newer ones say Univox on them, but mine says "Phase IV" on the headstock haha. I wonder how they got permission to put "Univox" on them
@@NirvanaGuitars I’m pretty sure because Univox went under.
Hell yeah, beeswax deserves to be played more! Nice video!
Nice cover love the sound of this early nirvana
Same here! Love the pre-Bleach era
Pen Cap Chew, yeay!! Thank you brother, that was quite a treat!!
Thank you so much for your videos🔥
Awesome video. Awesome demo. Awesome all❤
Man thank you so much for the effort you put in those video, being one of the biggest fan of nirvana it means a lot to me :)
It means a lot to me that you're watching! Thank you so much for the support 🙏
Another very usefull video, thanks!
Gotta love the Dale demo. Awesome video and super accurate as always!
Thank you so much!
The fizzy sound it makes I actually tend to like a little myself, it also makes me think of Pop Rocks but in my ears lol. Keep making awesome videos!!
I love these songs and yours recreated tone
Awesome tone dude!
great video dude, this is nearly a perfect recreation!
Wow thank you so much!!
Finally the video we have been waiting for
Thank you for your patience!
Ooohb that’s amazing 🤩
You played Paper cuts so perfectly dude nice job!
Thank you! Love playing the verse guitar part a lot 🎸

Congrats my friend, you're gonna love it!! Thanks for the support 🙏
Good work. It's also my favorite nirvana era
Love your tones ❤
🙏
Really good my friend! Sound great!!
Thank you so much!
YOURE A LEGEND, TEDEDFRED
These are all my favorite songs and era of Nirvana. There’s just something I dig about this period and how they wrote their songs during that time. I’m glad to see others are acknowledging and enjoying this period! 😊
Also my favorite drummer in Nirvana was Dale Crover as well. His approach was perfect and I loved his style of playing a lot! One of the coolest moments of my life was talking with him and the Melvins backstage! It was a surreal and unbelievable moment that I will never forget! 🤘
I was studying when I found this video. It had been hours since the video was posted. I watched it and, well, let's just say I wasn't studying anymore. All the video's are incredible and introduced me to amazing pre-Bleach songs such as Pen Cap Chew and If You Must. Amazing. Can I suggest a video on all of Dale Demo's but with a Nevermind style? (Featuring the delay pedal?)
Nice job
all these surpise videos makes me very happy
🥹
That’s awesome, super accurate!
Thank you!
LET'S GO 🔥
white strat eater here,here from the floyd the barber video, second time watching this one and, MAN is this really close! most of the time the tones can be a bit too bright, but i think you genuinely nailed it here.
This is such a fantastic tone, one of my favorites, no wonder he used the Randall for a decent chunk of time before gaining the Sunn Beta Lead II heads.
Another videooo!!!
Apsolutely awesome
Hey, Eric!
It dawned on me today! Harmoniously, the track «Oh, the guilt» is a continuation of the track «If you must». I watched your video again today on the day off, and then started playing «Oh, the guilt». The main chords are absolutely the same, but faster and the vocal line is rhythmically different! It can be an interesting reason for a video on your channel, I don’t know how to make content as cool as you, and I don’t have the opportunity, I’m at work now, I live in a truck. And for Nirvana fans it can be interesting
Have been waiting for floyd the barber part, i know theres a ton of that tone but god this is the most accurate
Nice!!!
Epic👍
"Spank thru" what a beautiful song, I can't even define how it makes me feel.
WOOO DALE DEMO!
one of my favorite nirvana tones ever my favs have to be paramount live and loud then this and reading
Hi, I wanted to ask you for advice. I should change the strings on my Fender Jaguar. Which strings do you recommend? Which strings does Kurt use for the Fender Jaguar? keep it up, your videos are beautiful and I always learn new things
Damn it! I would have had a DS-1 pedal 8 years ago. I don't remember how it sounded anymore. I recently bought a DS-1 clone from Rowin and there's exactly the same strange fuzz sound at the maximum dist settings. It's like an octave fuzz is sounding, second harmonics 😃
Great as always! Can u cover Old Age but using electric guitar pls?
First of all I want to congratulate you for your work and your faithful transcription of the tone of Nirvana from this early period which remains deeply ingrained in my heart since my teenage cassettes of bleach and incesticide.
Thank you very much for this my friend.
Thank you also for your work on “if you must” with the DM2.
I want to tell you that I often hear fans say that the peak of Nirvana was the in utero tour, and you say that too.
Unfortunately, that’s not really it.
Perhaps some fans attracted by the fact that the set was tighter with Pat's second guitar and that Kurt's face was visible and who only know live and loud may be seduced by that, but Nirvana at that time was the shadow of himself, I tell you, they had difficulty supporting each other and it was palpable, and there was no longer at all this energy, this cohesion and this fury of Kurt on stage that you could find in 1990-91 . I saw them live on the in utero tour at the time and I can confirm it to you.
Their peak physical, composition and energy is 90-91.
Paramount, garage sport seattle, first reading, for eternity.
Keep up the work on your channel, I love what you do and I salute our brother Kurt here, if he can hear me.
oh well..whatever..nevermind
It’s all a matter of personal preference and opinion. People have told me they think Bleach era is peak Nirvana. There is no right or wrong when it comes to something subjective like this 🙂 thanks for the support and kind words!
@@NirvanaGuitars You are totally right in that. I just wanted to share a feeling with you about that legendary band. But what is amazing with Nirvana is that you can even take a weak show of them, it will still always sounds better than everything else. Ahahaha.
And even if I regret only saw them on in utero tour, it still stay till this present day, the best gig I attended in all my life, made me pick up a guitar coming back home and start my first band some weeks later.
Keep on your good work and dedication bro👌
Forever jealous that you saw Nirvana live!! Any stand out memories from the show you saw? Thank you so much for watching and for commenting, always love hearing other fanatic’s perspectives 🙂
Could you make a video on Kurt's guitar picks, think that would be interesting?
I think this is the time of Kurt Cobain's greatest guitar technique
It was really cool when you played beeswax like you did on the top 30 list, but different.
can you please show your entire guitar collection
wow! once again spot on! also i wanted to know something, for kurts bleach tone, is it just the hi-flier? or is there more to it? im looking to try and recreate that tone and im not sure what i need. Great vid man keep up the awesome content!
Thank you so much! Yes, on Bleach Kurt only used 2 Hi Fliers. That’s discussed in depth here: th-cam.com/video/kSV-EHqpYJM/w-d-xo.html
How coincidental that I just watched the Nirvana Delay Pedal video again before receiving the notification for this video 🤔
haha that's perfect timing!
@@NirvanaGuitars yeah! Also I hope you keep making these videos I always learn more and more especially with such obscure things like the DOD Grunge pedal, if it weren’t for your video I would’ve never known that Kurt had one or that it even existed
Correction; Spank Thru did have a official release on a Sub Pop compilation in the mid-late 80s - early 90s, it was also later released on the Silver: Best Of The Box compilation also in 2005, also great recreation tone btw!
That’s the later version of Spank Thru, with Chad Channing on drums. This original version with Dale Crover has yet to be officially released.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
What guitar are you doing a history video on next?
Hi, do you gonna do a video on the Kurt Cobain Jazzmaster, yes not the jaguar but the Jazzmaster, there's photos of the guitar in a museum I think but I don't ever seen him with a jazzmaster 🤔
pretty close , awesome playing enjoyed mexican seafood and aero zeppelin ImI
Make your videos with tabs man I know some Nirvana but I'd like to learn some more like The chorus to lounge act just as an example great work And dedication to Kurt's work
Make a cover of “sappy” and “you know you’re right” pls 🙏🏼
Hey you’re a great guitarist! Do you believe in tonewood? Always something I’m curious about when it comes to the experts such as yourself
You should do the tone from nirvanas last concert it would be sick to see
That would be cool if you do the last Nirvana show tone(Munich 1994)😅I will help me so much.
That Aero Zeppelin tone made my jaw drop😵💫😵💫
Will you do a review of this guitar?
also in the official bleach studio solo of love buzz you can kind of hear wah in the background
Awesome video! When are you gonna do a full recreation of incesticide/with the lights out songs?
Thank you! There are 5 Incesiticde songs in this video 😉 I'll recreate all the songs session by session, and when the whole album is done I'll put them all together in a compilation video!
@@NirvanaGuitars that sounds great! Love your videos man been watchin em since forever, trust me if i had a buck I'd sure as hell support you but im broke as hell 🥲, i had another question, are you planning on doing a Argentina 1992 tone recreation? There are some high quality recordings of that show, and it has 3 different guitars on it and an interesting setlist so i think you could maybe get a cool tone video out of it?
Greetings from Russia! I want to know if there will be a video about the recreation of the bass tone of the bleach period?
I have heard conflicting reports, some say Kurt used the rg120ph but some say he used the rg100es.
Oh btw in the actual Love Buzz recording put on the record you can hear the Wah pedal in the solo
Yes that is discussed in the full DM2 history video
Gotta love the humble beginnings
I have a question, do you know what amp settings were used in the ”sappy (early demo)” song? I’ve been looking for some time now.
Or tuning
What tuning was your guitar in for this?
Video idea request: What If Nevermind sounded like the Dale Demo
Suggestion: Annorexorcist Guitar tone analysis & cover
I'd like to get my own randall and hi-flier, myself. I like the "Quack" of the clean tone, and the "nasal" quality of the distortion.
I would like to make my own tone with it, but it's a nice piece of kit for the noise band I'm working on.
Please tell me what parts you upgraded your jaguar with!!
Only the bridge to a black TonePros TOM and adding an extra strap button on the lower horn
u should do reading with vma tone
Like what I do? Buy me a coffee so I can stay awake while I mix audio and edit videos 😴

Strange, i have the same strange huming (We can hear it on mexican seafood), but only when i use my ds2
I think it’s a common issue with Ds1/ ds2, especially with high output pickups
you should recreate seattle center arenas tone
i love that phase4
Same 😍 Haven't had the urge to get a vintage Univox yet because this one does a great job at covering the ground for all the Bleach/pre-Bleach/Fecal Matter tones I've thrown at it
I really really love these songs, Mexican Seafood, Aero Zeppelin, Hairspray Queen not in this list but Big Long Now very dark, grungy songs they differ so much from 90's nevermind and in utero.
I think live Nirvana has it mixed up on show dates for the randall commander. The o tubbs show he is playing a randall rg100es. I think personally this might have been the amp on those sessions and the commander came after. But I could be wrong
I dont think there is a difference in the clean sections on either amp as randall was founded by don randall (ex fender employee)
Pretty much same as the mesa pre amp the randall clean section is a twin copy
You should do a Nulle parts ailuers tone But only if you want to
It's a shame that I'm not closer, I would have done the recap for free.
the tone kinda sounds like a black ops zombie
Do you have your own band?
Holy shit I'm fucking EARLY early
welcome to the party! 🥳
What were the 2 songs they didn't record?
Annorexcorist and Erectum! Those names are shown on the screen on the tape when that is brought up 😃
What is the tuning in spank thru?
Half step down from standard
@@NirvanaGuitars thank you!
I kinda wish someone would do videos like this for Jerry Cantrell/Alice In Chains
glad a man is using the Correct SG-like beauty Guitar
hell with boring lame Generic StratoFenders
also big Thumb Up for PAPER CUTS
their tragically underrated DoomGrungyMetallic sinister Beauty
You’re playing paper cuts wrong. And Aerozepplin
How so?
Very Nice Incesticide songs❤🎉
Nirvana was the most exciting thing to happen in the 1990s, besides Pearl Jam
Can u please do Radiohead songs with the in utero guitar tone I think that would be a very original idea
48 SECONDS AGO
You got here fast!! 👏
based Dale Crover opinion. miles better than Dave or Chad.
