Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Bass Cover) WITH TABS!

[kermitekxD]

omg this song is fcukin easy

[bassgodess18]

super easy song..and intro is wrong..

[1tsm3br0]

That's a kick ass bass

[Neuropraxic]

the first fret on my A string makes a terrible metal on metal sound, so i had to go up one fret on the entire thing

[NykoSK8ORDIE]

no es asi

[funkeyholla]

Fingerpicking is best for this song

[Qc1booboo]

Good cover! :D easy song to learn ..got it in bout an hour but still nice to play

[tibudiana]

do not use the pick sounds like shit o_O

[Eufratbre]

Bass is usually the back instrument, so fingers work better :P

[SgtZaqq]

@Eufratbre have you ever played bass?

[nedvanity]

@Eufratbre  yeah!!! thats true

[Timmy4pawz]

It's actually played on the f#, he just down tunes a semi tone

[easytoremeber0123]

does anyone know where i can get a cheap bass?

[micronalways]

@easytoremeber0123 Amazon, there's "starter kits" made by SX they have a bass, case, and amp. Its not a great piece of equipment but its a great start.

[alicja886]

Uh gosh, I've got the same bass :D

[BrownprideBPL]

harder for me to play with pick

[amaraamara100]

@BrownprideBPL Yeah I think that aswell.

[Lukc87]

FOR death ppl up down *chicki* *chick **chicki*

[SuperShanelover1]

Where did you get the HIM flag?

[AlienCow6991]

What kind of bass is that? Lol nice cover! :3

[skvscz]

really thank you I can teach from your cover thx!

[kalansilma1]

nice arto saari shirt!

[GuitarGuyRocker]

nice fallen sticker and cover :)

[picka1112]

For me the best guitar is acoustic :DDD

[picka1112]

I say words xDD

[Notaleafsfan]

Your rhythm is a little bit off for the verse, try to play closer to the drums. For the four notes on the A string you're kind of doing your own thing instead of trying to fit in with the song. Good work otherwise though.

[wkukify]

thanks now i know it

[killermoth242]

The one thing about songs by nirvana is that the bass lines are fairly easy

[tubetroll93]

Dude you are awesome! I just watched a tutorial of this by some uptight bass teacher, but i couldn't get a word of what he said, but by watching you rock the shit out of this tune and by seeing the tabs even i could learn this awesome song. Rock on dude! \m/

[akahi5]

I play with a pick too! ;D Anyway, nice video. Dunno how may times I had to pause and re-watch parts to learn how to do that part! Oh well was worth it though! Rock on dude \m/

[TheMarroquinTwins]

Awesome bass cover :D

[PleasureToKill86]

Good job... I learned to play this song by watching your video, it really helped me and also the tabs... Thanks! :D

[IBANEZbaby1]

this was the first song ive ever learned on the bass nd the tabs really helped. awesome job:)

[kinkbikes4life1]

Be a man and use your fingers

[sk8thewater]

i play this song with a pick also i dont know why more people dont

[ateURdog]

le me guess ur bass in ur band

[bowbay]

The chorus is wrong god damn

[TheDodgyeye]

duse cheers for the help, i jus started out on bass and this was the first song i did thanx :)

[1997Piro]

who is the name of you band

[MarvTheBassist]

@1997Piro we've just started out new so were thinking about a name at the moment :p

[MarvTheBassist]

@1997Piro no I play guitar

[GuitarHeroMoe]

[MisterGodfather1]

[128rommel]

love your bass and ur style like playing style nice job on the tabs

[HexeAusHogwart]

Thanks o lot!!!

[PunkRockCovers]

I love it how people can't learn this song with ears. They need tabs for such an easy song. I can hear this in like 1 time listening the song and i don't even play bass.

[128rommel]

@PunkRockCovers yeah so......

[Tsavos16]

The song is very easy why they are asking you for tabs??? You can find the right tabs everywhere!

[KRKMuffinman9]

I love Nirvana, but the bass line in this song is so boring!

[305TacoMan]

@KRKMuffinman9

But the bass line gives the song its GROOVE!!!

[merdadenombre]

thanks!! good cover! =D

yamaha (L)

[redblack305]

dam your a fag



[dillstu2]

Great playing but i thought you strummed 4 times instead of 6 when you do the chorus?

[Hakushukuku]

Good cover...Nice.

[queebeck]

Good cover. I have that same bass :D

[candybabychocola]

Thanks (for the cover and the tab). Really helped me ! And I think you shouldn't listen to those fu..ing guys and play the way you want !

[TheVanquisher66]

Get a better tab it's all wrong

[DTCdaysthatcount]

u play with pick i do too lol ur bass puts mine in the dust lol but great sound what kind of amp

[MarvTheBassist]

@DTCdaysthatcount thanks :p it's an marshallMB15 amp

[undershock94]

@MarvTheBassist awesome i've got the same one and you can get a tone super alike to krist's!

[lnknprk21]

[FF35Pilot]

du musst ja Krist Novoselic auch in den 'Tags' stellen... Er war bassist fuer Nirvana!

[TiLLiMiLLitrYAm]

[66ALicEiNCHaiNS06]

Sick Nirvana cover dude!!!

[Penglens]

Have to say, that is a badass looking bass.

[qbxy12]

thats a crappy bass its a yamaha

[24FelipeGomez]

@qbxy12 Yamaha basses had a very exelent sound, but i don't like that bass body, i had a Ibanez GSR-320

[gdevilpt]

Terrible lots of things missing

It is something like this ins the main riff A 11 /3 443

E11  44

[qbxy12]

#1 The tabs are wrong

#2 You played it completely wrong

[Jimpan0096]

@qbxy12 #3 he called the verse "chorus" D:

[dmanbaked]

NICE!!!! thanks this helped me out ALOT. how long have you been playing?

[MrFlikster]

OO btw nice cover what's the bass using man?

[MarvTheBassist]

@MrFlikster thanks, it's a yamaha rbx170 bass :p

[onkelcorny]

the first thing u wrote down is the chorus and the second the main riff

[db8626]

Nice

[TheMrHorst]

*yawn* ;)

[EPICFAILOMGLOL]

Thanks for the tabs! They were very helpful!

[tupapaaa1223]

[TheClown27]

(-_-)



[Zmatepen]

(-_-)

[AggressiveSkater666]

through plecktrum away, bass = fingers!!! and learn right tab:

bassmasta . net /n/nirvana/162130.html

[georgieeMCR98]

@AggressiveSkater666 not everyone uses theyre fingers. it takes a while to learn fingers on bass. he can play the way HE wants. not you.

[jalawalakowoma]

@georgieeMCR98 oh geez i thought it was a chick :\

[superstriker00]

Use your fingers bro! Great cover, but I prefer the tone of fingers on a bass.

[hswizzle62]

@superstriker00 this song was written for plucking

[alvesrayra]

*-*

[FailedAbortionBaby]

*Adds to favorites*

Nice upload! I'm sorta new at the bass (tried guitar, got a bass, experimented, prefered bass over guitar) and was looking for a good song to start with! Plus the description saves time from lookin up tabs!

[forrestfire101CLUB]

nice one dude, thanks for putting th riffs up in description, this help me alot

(^_^)

[1xskaterguyx11]

pretty clean dude ill rated as a 10.. besides thanx for the tabs..which are freakin easy....and WERE U GOT THAT HIM POSTER?

[MarvTheBassist]

@1xskaterguyx11 thank you (8 I got it from a little shop in our town xd

[Lordttfc]

good cover but so easy ;)

[TheBassistdrummer]

awesome cover!

[swantonkincaid]

ur bass sounds like shit....

literally

[HeavyDebaZu]

easiest shit on earth!.:D 

[TrussQi]

hmm.. i prefer my way of doin it, sounds more badass xD good cover though. use your fingers though, sounds better. and also, try playin the solo on a bass, its so badass and makes the simple song less boring to play xD

[Mryertletheturtle1]

@TrussQi its supposed to be played with a pick thats how Krist wrote it.

[TrussQi]

@Mryertletheturtle1

doesnt matter, it sounds less tinny when you dont use one

[HerbredMadness]

@TrussQi Hmm...what chords...? Could be interesting... :D

[KrossPoison1]

@HerbredMadness Hold on, I don't actually know anymore I just do it xD (this is my other account) Add me on here and I'll make a tab up for you. This is in response to the solo on a bass right?

[HerbredMadness]

@KrossPoison1 Thanks man!

[quainhankid14]

I think I will take up bass after playing guitar well ! I just wish I had a Yamaha guitar !

[Adrenogoredreams]

WHAT shit of bass. That song to play it more boring than to sucking a nail

[DrunkGuitar]

Nice cover and nice HIM banner, dude.

[TheAzadomin]

1. Love the HIM poster in the back ground :')

2. thank fuck some one can play this song properly AND have the tab for it XD and how many repeats, you must be jesus.

[hobbayne]

Excellent timing! your pushing the beat well ahead!!

Dont forget theres a little passing C note from the Db to the Bb your missing out, though!

[lordblacky0512]

*aims a gun at you*

Drop that Pick immediately!

Drop it!

[Gizmo2k5]

@lordblacky0512 Why? Recording was played with a pick?

[lordblacky0512]

@Gizmo2k5 i'm sorry but i always get goose bumbs when someone plays bass with a pick >.<

[Gizmo2k5]

@lordblacky0512 lol, fair enough. Personally coming from Electric guitar I find it more natural. I agree playing with fingers sounds more natural and sometimes more raw. If i learn a song played with pick, then I'll play with pick :)

[SillyMusic97]

After you play the A# you have to slide up to the C# and if you play the C# you have to slide down to A#. Krist is often sliding at nirvana songs and at this one

[kaztom09]

is that a yamaha

[MarvTheBassist]

@kaztom09 yes , yamaha RBX 170

[ThePressBeats]

@MarvTheBassist i have YAmaha RBX 374 :DDD

[nakool1995]

Little rythms problems. But great even if!

[xOnxThexArrowx]

[soggywasabi]

[W3CA3000]

god people complaining so much about picking bass, guys if he wana play with his tongue let him play with tongue

[donfridolf]

awesome song :D but it's quite boring to play :S But you did it good :D keep it up :) how long have you played??

[MarvTheBassist]

@donfridolf yes youre totally right ;D and thanks :) at that time I played for about a half year

[rym123456789]

nice bass! dude!

[iswearshes18]

i looked at these tabs, and i was wondering why the break i was playing sounded weird, and im tired of pick haters haha, i can understand the hate, but honestly i like the sound of pick on bass

[PunkiMclovin94]

Awesome job, man, you're really smooth. Plus from what I can tell in your decor and garb your taste in music kicks total ass. Keep rocking. =D

[MarvTheBassist]

@PunkiMclovin94 thehe, really thanks lot!! :))

[equadorianSk8r666]

Good cover... I WANT YOUR H.I.M. POSTER D:

[MarvTheBassist]

@equadorianSk8r666 thank you ;) I quite believe it :D

[masterhansolo]

I agree bass sounds better without a pick.

[kazama112211]

dude pick is for bitches!!!!!!!!!!

[LegendsofGH]

@kazama112211 wat have u got agaist picks:S

[kazama112211]

@LegendsofGH

you have to FEEL your bass to play good..

with a pick you can't feel your bass guitar

[Haydza3100]

[sappybassist]
