i always knew the clean tones definety sounded like single coils accross all cleans, and more of a vox bright tone than a fender. Nevermind era cleans sound dry and flat but with a tasteful addition of brightness but people were always obsessed with the kurt cobain always using Humbuckers live.
After a long time, It Finally came. Now we gotta wait for heart shaped box. (I said "years" at first, yet this series only started 11 months ago. I changed it to "a long time" after Aaron pointed it out)
A really cool idea that I think would be cool, is to basically reimagine songs with like different gear or songs that didn't really get a (publicly released) studio recording.
There’s a band called Courtesy out of Wisconsin that did a full electric version of Opinion off of that with the lights out demo and it WHIPS ass, it’s so good.
For me, the key has always been to capture that Fender single-coil jangle, which is quite present in the Nevermind album. Also, thanks for helping with the OTHER key: the speakers!! Glenn Fricker over at Spectre Sound Studios will love to see that! lol Great work, love to see these recreation videos!!
Great video man! I'm usually not the one to correct things on other people videos, but the mustang story on Kurt's Journals refers to the brown "soundgarden" mustang Kurt had in the old days, which was indeed in really bad shape and was missing most parts, so Kurt fitted it with a bunch of univox parts from a hi flier he had destroyed a few days or weeks before getting it.. Other than that, awesome video like always!!
Yeah, absolutely, it makes sense because Kurt only got the Comp mustang like, a very short time before recording Nevermind, though, that too was very cheap.
the mustang he spoke about in the journal im almost certain isnt the competition mustang, judging by the time period. More than likely the CBS blue one used in the In Bloom video and for designing the jagstang and he had another jaguar that he had used for designing the jagstang, which is mentioned in the journals with the serial number, but im not sure which that one is referring to. Also, that sounded spot on! Ivvev got a 94//95 V30 cab and ive alwayys loved it man
Probably so man - He just said late 60's mustang in his journal. Mosrite could have been possible too but it was stollen that first week of recording Nevermind
I picked up a ‘66 Mustang a couple of weeks ago and it sounds incredible through my early 70’s Twin Reverb. Legit the closest I’ve ever gotten to Cobain’s tone.
Awesome vid Aaron, it’s always a good day when you upload. I like the history and knowledge you put into these vids it definitely helps guys out like me looking for these tones!
Do you think you’ll ever make non nirvana based videos? Like smashing pumpkins would be really cool. Or just like 90s stuff. Love your channel so much and your video style.
The Mustang mentioned in the journals is the one which was used on Bleach. Krist told the same story in april 90, I think he mentioned it was sanded down, IIRC.
That Mustang that Kurt and Krist bought was the Mustang Kurt used during the "Bleach" era, NOT the Competition Mustang. The "Bleach" Mustang was the one shown on the '88 Aberdeen rehearsal video that was part of the "With The Lights Out" set. Kurt got the Competition Stang much later.
That journal entry might have been about a different stang, he got the competition stang at Voltage Guitars in Hollywood. Earnie Bailey confirmed a bunch of details when it was up for auction
your guitar skills have gotten better and I think you should start a band with sum people but I know you live in an apartment and renting studios are ducking expensivebut I think you'd be great with your tone and your vocals. I'd fucking love it
Great video - only thing to note is, there are about 6 - 10 guitar tracks on the SLTS track itself - Butch was into doing multi tracks etc. So it's hard to replicate that tone live of course.
I could be wrong but I'm thinking the guitar was bought in Olympia at the evergreen college campus, they lived in Olympia before Seattle and evergreen students are sometimes called greeners.
Love love love your videos man! It’s an exciting day when one drops! This was amazing but I have to say, I think you’re clean intro recreation from The Butterfly Effect video was actually a little closer than this. Possibly that’s the difference with real amp vs plug in?
Hey Aaron! Nice video as always, I just want to tell you 2 things: Could you explain to me how to paint my guitar with sharpies again? I'm not a native English speaker and I didn't fully understand when you said it in that video. - your original riffs are extremely cool, I think I'm not the only one who encourages you to record and release them!! It sounds so sick!! Keep those cool videos coming!!
Thanks! The sharpie method isn't really a good solution man, it smears off over time. If you want to do it, you just draw on something plastic with a blue sharpie and then take a alcohol soaked cotton swab and rub it in the blue sharpie and buff onto the guitar
For those of you that do not have $500+ dollars to buy pre-rola greenbacks…. There is a company called Scumback who makes replica pre-rolas. Run by a dude that apparently personally owns dozens of them and made it his work to painstakingly re-create them. I bought one and I absolutely love it. I’m in no way affiliated, but just wanted to spread the word!!!
Rick Beato recently interviewed Butch Vig on his channel. There they talk about how he and Nirvana recorded Teen Spirit. Butch says that for all the clean tones they used a Vox amp.
hazzar someone who agrees with me the new ds1s are pretty much the same, i got a silver screw 80's one for $15 and sold it for like $100 then bought a second hand new one ;) great work dude! you should be a producer
Hey man I just found your channel. Please keep doing what you are doing. Right at a year of playing and doing these deep dives. I love everything about you channel.
Great video! I was able to get really close with a UAFX Dream '65 pedal with the vintage speakers they modeled. Once you get your speaker situation figured out it would be amazing if you could try and capture your rig using the new IK Multimedia Tonex software (or have someone loan you a Kemper :) I would buy your profiles / rigs for sure! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to the next video!
I like the Journals references! He writes 65 and 67 as the years, respectively, for the Stang and Jag, so maybe this is the In Bloom video Mustang? Slab body is correct for 1965. And Kurt was rumored to have a second Jaguar that wasn’t played live.
Cobain's Scream was the tone I wanted to mimic. His vocals was so unique and different than any other band at the time. Nirvana brought the death to the hair bands like GNR. Did you try looking into the Melvin's the bands that Kurt was into. Pixies
I just saw a tweet from butch vig on twitter from when they were doing the nevermind 30 q&a. I can't see what the original tweet was but this was butch's reply: "Then I had Kurt go back and redo his guitars: clean intro through a Vox AC30, dbl tracked big gtrs though his Mesa Boogie, Dbl tracked verse ringy guitars through AC30 with Small Clone and Boss DS1 (during “hello hello”)..." Kinda shocked about the AC30. I actually posted about this in the nirvana guitars discord and someone pulled up a sound city document of all the tracks and the distorted guitars during the vamp and the chorus were bassman tracks, directly contradicting what butch vig said. just kinda interesting, thought i would share.
Great channel, man. Would love to see your guitar recording process with the Twin Apollo you have to get the sounds you are getting! Do you just go straight through it to your daw or use any unison plugins?
The Nevermind bass tone is all about the Gibson Ripper bass. I’ve played a couple and as soon as you scoop out a load of 800Hz and boost 3k it instantly nails it
Another great video. As you have pointed out the speaker is really important with recreating the tones for Nevermind but what is your take on mics? I read they used a variety SM57, AKG414, U87s and even 421s. Which do you think may have been used on this song?
Perfect Sound !!! Thanks for telling us how to get that tone and how maybe Kurt did !! But wait... where is your Squier Jag.?? I think the parts are now living in youre new Jag.... will the Squier Jag come back??? I'm confused and sad... ✌️😓🤣
This might blow your mind... but... if you want to even more closely match the Teen Spirit intro... it seems that Kurt picked the F#5 as an up-stroke. No idea why! And... all my life, I have played it with a down-stroke, because... well... any one would. But... if you find any footage of them playing this song... he up-stokes the downbeat of 1 all through the song. Strange, but... that was Kurt.
i always thought it would of been recorded on well setup studio strats, he used really high gain for his tone so i assume he probably used the studio strats setup to eliminate as much noise as possible
Hey Aaron! Love these videos all of them have been awesome. Although this one has completely changed my opinion on what guitar/ guitars were used on SLTS. I have been convinced for the last 15 years that it was a Strat on the opening riff, as my 77 Mustang could never cut it for that tone. Thanks for sharing, keep up the cool work.
Hey @Aaron Rash if you really want something to blow your mind - check out the 'hidden' layered guitar track in the song Kurt did (most likely directed by Butch Vig) to thicken the overall guitars. It's on YT somewhere. It's definitely something that adds to the sound. I always knew there was something musically going on thats not in the main riff. But, once you hear it, you can't unhear it.
Amazing tone. Unrelated to the vid but I just wanted to know what guitar I should get for a budget pick (modding included) I have a hss strat but it doesn't work for everything what should I go for to get some good all around nirvana tone for a budget.
You should do a fine recreation for you know you’re right, I’m really interested into how to get the tone for the intro, beyond the bridge on my jag just don’t sound anything like it does in the song, I think I heard a while aback that he was used a univox but I can’t remember
Hmm yours is a little thin but sounds good! Who knows what preamps were used in mixing and mastering! Either way love this channel! and I agree so much about the new V30's.
Your power issues can most likely be solved with a power conditioner. I'd be willing to bet that if you stuck a multimeter in an outlet the voltage would be low or fluctuating. Luckily small ones are cheap.
Hey man, it’s not a power issue at all, the grid is super stable here. I service amps so I’m always checking the power. The only thing fluctuating AC source voltage is going to do is reduce headroom. Van Halen did this on purpose to get the brown sound. He would use a variac and under power his amps… no harm there. Since the outputs on all the tube amps are transformer coupled the output is floating. My issue is my speakers are getting permanently damaged. I think it’s a DC offset problem in my 4801 amp and I also think using an attenuator damaged my speakers. Very very odd problem. But I’m not going to hook up my new V30 or vintage 65s to anything until I can say with proof that’s what’s damaging the speakers.
@@AaronRash that's so weird. No wonder you're having such a hard time finding out what is happening. You better call someone that's a mad scientist because I need more of these videos 🤣
I learned the solo but closer to the headstock. Surely it will be another scale or tonality playing the same thing. Have you used vintage 30 old or reissued? surely you'll have them from the 80's. But don't you think that for Nirvana's song catalog in general the G12T-75 sound better? You have had problems with the messa and you also fixed the jqguitars one. You should have made videos of the repairs. It would have been great, like when you modified the smallclone. So see the repair, the bias, etc.
There’s still a possibility that the speakers could have been older Celestion 25w Greenbacks. They distort the best and easily at high volume naturally..

like when it's pretty much just the bass, drums, and vocals?
ac30 and some sort of twangy pickup. Could be mustang or humbucker strat

I learned the solo but closer to the headstock. Surely it will be another scale or tonality playing the same thing. Have you used vintage 30 old or reissued? surely you'll have them from the 80's. But don't you think that for Nirvana's song catalog in general the G12T-75 sound better?
You have had problems with the messa and you also fixed the jqguitars one. You should have made videos of the repairs. It would have been great, like when you modified the smallclone. So see the repair, the bias, etc.
Hey, Aaron. What are the humbuckers in your jaguar? Is the neck a DiMarzio PAF?
YOU ARE THE BEST!
no you are!
There’s still a possibility that the speakers could have been older Celestion 25w Greenbacks.
They distort the best and easily at high volume naturally..
Hey Aaron I just picked up a 72 Quad , Did you have to change the eq a lot for the in utero songs ? What are some good settings ? Thanks
