How to Play Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit : Solo Pt. 1: Nirvana Teen Spirit on Guitar

[xlegitzomb]

HAHA HE SAID G STRING :D

[Diddyman999]

also i find this guy's pace very good

[Diddyman999]

nirvana are so overated i wouldn't mind them otherwise, im only here in competition with a friend

[spacethew]

@adeuja25 um ya he does and he explanins easier

[dubbly1]

Why the fuck can't you put the solo in one video. Damn.

[LuizLapt]

JON LAJOIE VOICE???? ftw

[HardRocktony98]

WTF ?? why ?? the solo is way too short, it's supposed to be in one video !!

[XxbmoxX88]

Fuck this song if you want to do something Real for Kurt, February 20th should mark the day that every bridge in Seattle, Olympia, and Aberdeen gets tagged with "Kurt was here" with a big fat Mr. Sunshine smiley right next to it. This song is great, but hated by him, just sayinnn.

[Alex19BRNRKY]

The Most easy solo on the guitar!! it"s seriouly!!! But i Love play this solo in the electric guitar!!

[xxraythompsonxx]

@adeuja25 lol yes he does :)

[026abcd]

sounds like a paperjam and the guitar looks fake



[maggot6639]

@026abcd youd know... and idk.. just know its real ;)

[TheWarOnGrammer]

ok so i learned this solo without this annoying vid it was easy

[Sirelmitt2]

thts my guitar! lol

[heat144]

This guy is showing it to you in second position where as Kurt played it in first

[jovanauf]

send me this solo tabs please???

[wiqinq]

What's up with these lessons?!?! It's like one note per 1 min?

Couldn't they at least have made it one single long video?!

[KristinNirvana]

DEAR ALL ROCK AND NIRVANA FANS, FEBRUARY 20TH IS KURT COBAIN'S BIRTHDAY. THAT DAY WE WILL ALL VISIT THE "SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT" VIDEO, LIKE IT, AND WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. NOT ONLY WILL IT PAY BACK RESPECT TO HIM, IT WILL ALSO HELP NIRVANA GET TO THE TOP OF YOUTUBE AGAIN. THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT AND REPOST THIS ON ANY NIRVANA OR ANY ROCK VIDEO

[m82a1light50cal]

@KristinNirvana you've got a long way to go, 451 million

[m82a1light50cal]

@KristinNirvana Nirvana's only got like 3 million

[KristinNirvana]

@m82a1light50cal Actually it's like over 30 million, but yeah, still a long way to go. Hopefully eventually it will get there and help more people discover Nirvana. I only discovered all the cool 90's music because Nirvana got so famous, since I was only born in the 90's, so it would be cool if that could happen for other kids nowadays if they could see Nirvana in the top list and discover real music. Maybe it's just a pipe dream, but I guess we'll see in the future...

[kreepyguitarhippie]

@KristinNirvana im 14 and everybody at school listens to pop and rap. I say alternative rock

[KristinNirvana]

@kreepyguitarhippie Good for you! Back in the day, I was the only little girl in school who hated Britney Spears and N'sync and the Backstreet Boys, and I was so glad to see them leave around '02,'03, but then they just came back with all the new ones out nowadays. At least this time around I know about alternative rock. The new rap seems way to glossy too. Too much bling and money. Rap used to be real back in the 90's and 80's. Though rock will always be what I listen to.

[NirvanaBassRocker]

@KristinNirvana but kurt hated that song

[KristinNirvana]

@NirvanaBassRocker Who cares if he hated it, it's an amazing song, who cares if it ever got famous, it's too good, Kurt was great, but we shouldn't let the fact that that song was the one to make him famous stop us from enjoying it. If it hadn't been that song to make him famous we would love it just as much and be saying why wasn't it that song that got all the attention, and he didn't hate it, just the fact it made him so famous.

[NirvanaBassRocker]

@KristinNirvana yes, but im sure he would rather ppl listen to his less comercial songs

[KristinNirvana]

@NirvanaBassRocker Possibly, but the whole point of bands like Nirvana was to get rid of the commercialization and just like the MUSIC, like don't even pay attention to if it got famous or if it was mainstream or underground, just like the art, and if something strikes your ear, love it. So it may have made him famous, and he might not have liked it, but I'm sure he would hate it if you didn't like a song or pay attention to it because it got famous. That's just as bad as the opposite.

[NirvanaBassRocker]

@KristinNirvana i dont hate smells like teen sprit, i like all nirvana songs, underground and mainstream, and i appreciate smells like teen spirit becaz thts wat got nirvana famous but i think there r more than just smells like teen spirit, heart shaped box, come as you are, in bloom, and the unplugged set that should b top listed like mollys lips, negative creep, floyd the barber, bambi slaugter, and i could go on, that shuld b mainstream but wasnt the "sound " most ppl wanted and thats a shame

[KristinNirvana]

@NirvanaBassRocker Yeah, I agree. I literally LOVE all Nirvana songs. I just hate it when people say don't listen to Teen Spirit because that is the one that is famous, because purposefully not listening or liking a song because it is famous or mainstream is just as poserish as only doing it because it got famous.

[NirvanaBassRocker]

@KristinNirvana u no wat im realizing, we look like idiots arguing about a band we both like, but i have an idea for kurts next birthday instead of listening to one song of nirvana song listen to them all

[KristinNirvana]

@NirvanaBassRocker Agreed. That's an old post anyway. I usually just listen to a lot of Nirvana songs on his birthday. I just got excited when I saw that post because it's cool that other people like the same bands I do, so I quickly copied and pasted. But really we should listen to all Nirvana songs all year round, but of course that might be hard, so at least on his birthday.

[NirvanaBassRocker]

@KristinNirvana ya i never really look at the comments accept for wen commercials are on or wen im bored of the video for instance this one

[MASAI97]

@KristinNirvana That'll definitely not respect him. Do you not realize Kurt didn't want to be as famous as he was? Do you realize by trying to get his videos to the top of You Tube again is disrespecting him?

[ashatbracks]

@KristinNirvana shut the fuck up who cares

[ashatbracks]

@KristinNirvana Disregard my last comment, my friend made that. My apologies.

[KurtKobainRules]

This guy is so gay, marty schwartz is way better at teaching

[dimiturmr]

lol this is the "g string" guy xD

[crazyboyd100]

thank you man 

[ResorteraTV]

thank english man you make me chorisos

[TheGirlRocker2]

@ResorteraTV why call him 'english man' there are loads of english people

[ResorteraTV]

@TheGirlRocker2 it's a joke inglish girl

[TheGirlRocker2]

@ResorteraTV I dont know why they dont spel it ike that 'inglish' it makes more sence dont u think>?

[ResorteraTV]

@TheGirlRocker2 yeah inglish woman or men LoL

[utah321]

Also, for the dude that uploaded this... seriously, teaching folks to play this song on an SG is kinda screwed up man. That chorus pedal jangles a lot better with a fender that has some bouncy tremelo in the guitar.

[Nomnomthedinosaur]

likeing this man 

[mindlesspuppet94]

he has the wrong position but it sounds right

[TheSubsSpanish]

@mindlesspuppet94 Positions are'nt too necesary for music. so it does'nt care

[mindlesspuppet94]

@TheSubsSpanish yes but when you wanna play it like nirvana it is important

[TheKidsRoundCrown]

Does anyone know the exact effects used to play this song?

[utah321]

@TheKidsRoundCrown Boss ds-1, small clone electro harmonix, a mustrand/jag/jazzmaster/strat, marshall amp ( not sure what he was playing, a JCM something) with some vintage greenbacks in it... I may be missing something but I'm pretty sure thats it.

[TheKidsRoundCrown]

@utah321 thanks man!

[valywolf]

fuck your segments!

[AdiGriTV]

Darn annoying PC to Phone ads...

[JBarszczu]

It is gibson sg special faded:)

[AAfireworks]

lol tryin to play this on my new guitar i switched from bass guitar to guitar so just lookin for some cool songs anyone know some?

[GamerMan57]

@AAfireworks Fire by Jimi Hendrix, its cool, fun, and it not 2 hard 2 play

[gaali121]

@AAfireworks try sweet child o mine, paradise city, stairway to heaven, smoke in the water, beat it

[alandechandt]

jim parsons (sheldon cooper). O.o

[IceyFlame500]

Wow, 1 minutes, i learned it all! why are they so short? BTW that pitch black diamond u call a tattoo is freakin gay! who gets a pitch black diamond

[SheepGoBaaahh]

This is one of the easiest solos ever... Why do we need a video to show us how..

[DarkAngelGirl100100]

what guitar is that?O.o can someon tell me the name?

[BKets4ever]

@DarkAngelGirl100100 Gibson SG

[BKets4ever]

@DarkAngelGirl100100 It's a Gibson SG. Very well-known guitar... Some would call it legendary! My personal favorite.

[DarkAngelGirl100100]

@BKets4ever thnx^_^

[naokske]

@DarkAngelGirl100100  Gibson SG Special I think..

[djstriderite]

i have a bonus lesson.  never play teen spirit on a fucking SG

[SterilizeThePopulace]

Money, money, money. Lots of short videos = more total views = greater advertising revenue. See? Capitalism always works out well.

[modusalex]

i guess if we all moved to live down to the expert village we would all be jimi hendrixes, joe satrianis or paul gilberts lol

[yuvrajads]

hello this is joe wiles from the rock and roll conservatory on behalf of expert village...

yes I know joe.....I heard you the last 7 million times....

[lordtimmytim13]

i hate expert village

[Th3DoM1naToR]

why do they call themselves expert village, this is trash

[billielovesu]

ur shit mate

[HeyLookItsAdam]

marty shwartz is way better...

[stupidmonkey2222]

@HeyLookItsAdam true but he doesnt teach the solos all the time

[GuitarLord3000]

@HeyLookItsAdam ikr like if marty already has a tutorial for something you shouldnt even bother doing one.

[slorr55]

Why do vids instead of making tabs and put a link to them?

[Deathscape29]

Lololololol...

[reloj900]

Fuck you



[iTzN0sc0pez]

why couldn't they just do the whole solo in one video seriously... What retards

[TeLaComesEnterita]

@iTzN0sc0pez Because this video is for dummy guitar starters like me lol

[iTzN0sc0pez]

@TeLaComesEnterita Lol yeah but i bet it wont take 50million little lessons just to learn one fucking little bit of a song lol..

[Chrizyladd]

hes teriable

[askdad123]

why does it take 2 parts to learn the easiest solo ever

[TheMrAwesomeDx]

@askdad123 you mean 3! parts

[CCRockit]

@TheMrAwesomeDx

Theres three parts to this shit?!

i could teach someone how to do this solo in a matter of 2 minutes

[XxocheelxX]

u should put up tabs for it

[saveme192837]

@XxocheelxX try this link. i think it's the same

guitaretab. com/n/nirvana/21919(dot)h t m l

[JuanBautista12]

looks like gibson sg

[MrHotString]

@JuanBautista12 It is Giblon SG (Special)

[dAKarkoloAb]

i dont know why but this guy looks like a jerk and teaches like jerk... on different frets (higher) and starting from the 9th fret of the D string... rest of it you should be able to get cuz the song is as easy as watching this video

[Jiniisama]

Hello, this is Joe Wiles from the Rock N' SHIT conservatory on behalf RETARDvillage.

Today, as usual I'm gonna teach you how to NOT PLAY a song cause I suck too much with my two ridiculous rhombs tatoos on my arms.

[Dumptruck70]

The lessons are clear and accurate but the broken one minute segments arent worth it.

[GuitarN00B007]

check mine? :D and please leave comment on my vid :D

[jojemy1]

damn, thts a kick ass guitar nigga!!!!!!!!!

[aflockofmusic2]

that fucking idiot went to fast, you can;t learn anything from this asshole.

[100DarkDude]

what guitar do you have sounds like an gibson?

[jojemy1]

@100DarkDude

no fucking shit its a gibson. fuck, are u a fucking moron or are u just fucking dumb? dont b stupid shithole sucker

[mdangr66]

gay

[wedge173]

shut the fuck up stop talking and teach

[ThomasBorn92]

In my opinion, the best set up to use for this solo is the DigiTech Hardwire Metal Distortion, Hardwire Chorus, and Hardwire Reverb. I personally think it sounds awsome.

[guitarilove]

awesome

[rubenlp4ever]

wrong dude solo is played on the Gstring an D string xD you play the B string too.. its wrong the solo is just G and D learn it first the right way befor you call that shit expert vilage... : ps my dad is nirvana fan and hewatched live how curt play that solo and trust me only G and D are playing the rest is mut xD asshole

[GnRSlash88]

expert village you can and you can suck my dick..end of story

[BJ713Guitar]

The sheet music is way different...

[menci11]

that is one expensive guitar!

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

no its not. The gibson sg special faded are about $600. It is cheap because it is just the wood without the finish. With finish it is about $400 more. pickups,tuners,wood etc is still the same.

[bcrichguitarest5933]

wow... this was the first song i learned on guitar as soon as i picked one up. and they need expert village for it? shows the skill of expert village -.-

[GuitarPlayerDamian]

Thank you! Look at my SLTS cover (in orange shirt!) Thanks for your help!!

[skuteriux]

hmm. i can solo this, but with different tabs. sounds kinda same . :)

[TheSebo258]

I sing and play all this video. You can see the video at my page youtube (i'm 13 years old and from france)

[skateboardpro00]

fuck you

[Vrublevskogo]

expertvillage? WTF!?

[TheTom97100]

nice but y so sort video?

[HBJacob14]

Fail!!!!!!

[varulv234]

Standard tuning. EADGBE.

[ill1JSavy]

this guy is the f

***in best. do drain you PLEASE ! lol seriously thou

[WeStartedNothing94]

By G-string he means...uhmmmm...it's hard to explain :D But if you talk spanish here we go, or you can just translate this :D :

Se refiere a la afinación de la guitarra: E for the 1st string, B for the 2nd, G for the 3rd, D for the 4th, A for the 5th and E for the 6th. So, the "G-string" is actually the 3rd string if I'm not mistaken. Hope I helped, TheAppleBot :)

[peksyjavi]

He Means the guitar tunning... :)

[DeadxHorizon]

you are fuckinstupid

[UnkhoOw]

why making a 1 min video when you can make a 10 min video...i hate expert village's 1 min videos

[SuperSchalkeFreak]

@UnkhoOw you don*t lik eit. nobody tells you that you must look this vids you stupid idiot

SHUT UP!

i love the vis from expertvillage

[bloodrainpepe]

@UnkhoOw LOL

[FresnoMostwanted]

@UnkhoOw i think they do that because they want you to practice it before moving on...because if you just did the entire thing in one try, it would be a mess. and besides, theyre "experts" haha

[MrParadoxWorld]

@UnkhoOw next time get some kleenex instead of opening your ignoramus f#$%ing mouth

[UnkhoOw]

@MrParadoxWorld Hey you need to put Joe Wild dick in your mouth and shut up, you will love it (:

[MrParadoxWorld]

@UnkhoOw Put my "own" dick in my own mouth? Not possible. Funny how when some one insults you the first thing that comes to mind is some Wild Dick. Sounds like you've got some deep seeded desires there. Now, now... theres no need to project that on me. If Wild Dick's whats on your mind I say you go out and get some : ) Just keep me out of your weird lonely fantasies... Oh yeah and save your whining for your mama. Thanks!

[UnkhoOw]

@MrParadoxWorld Dont Care Dude ;D

[MrParadoxWorld]

@UnkhoOw good shut up then

[UnkhoOw]

@MrParadoxWorld You should shut up, I Was So Fine Untill You Showed Up....

[MrParadoxWorld]

@UnkhoOw cry about

[MrParadoxWorld]

@MrParadoxWorld * it *

[chendomaniaco10]

@UnkhoOw He want a lot of videos!!

D:

[TheJokersWorld1]

@UnkhoOw they got more views that way lol

[coronet67]

@UnkhoOw Everytime you watch an ad at the beginning they make $. Ten videos = 10x $

[iluvmyaxe]

@coronet67 how much cash they make per vid?

[lifetaker008]

expertvillage is a downer 0 out of a 5

[TheAppleBot]

im sorry but g-string :L

[slavearmy666]

i think he likes the word g-string

[nirwanaeathell]

@slavearmy666 lol xD

[LucyTheCat95]

@slavearmy666 haha xDD

[numkelfut]

OMG WHAT ARE THE ODDS!!!

[gamefreak777387]

lol my name is joe 2 and i got the same guitar

[PizzaBlade17]

Ploatic... you're joking right it's not 5 but 50! FUCK good job on guitar but poor video skills (to expertvillage)

[Ploatic]

i could of shit a better tutorial, haha no but seriously, i dont want to keep being mean to this guy, but the LEAST he could do is put his songs together in a video, its a waste to do what 5 videos? on Smells like teen spirit. i know beginners need this, but christ man, put the videos in one and look great instead of making a bunch and looking quite pathetic

[juliMathers]

you are so fucking right!

i want just ONE video!!

[TomArayaya]

Leta go to the bed and give me head

[dogkiller07]

BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha

[mediajunkie1988]

There is no 8th fret on my G-String PAL! >:-(

[thechosenone21000]

yes there is look for it

[mediajunkie1988]

It was a poor attempt at humour lol i meant G-String as in uderwear.....i apologise haha

[o0MarioCartWii0o]

lol

[riadscunthorpe]

i dont play it like that

[OoMegreZoO]

don't say shit it's not wrong and sure he's better than U

[AndyLandwersiek]

Do you even play Oo?

[Lovasi2]

lol you suck dude, maybs you should try learning shit by ear rather than tabs

[666psycosocial666]

on my version i play it on the 10th fret help?

[fireguy123469]

your version is right... this fuckin dude doesnt know what hes doing

[XarezX]

wtf

[connorkebab1]

Hate it when they make vidz to short =/

[dezolas1]

you look like you would smell like fish

[Houroudi]

true

[TheWho1978]

Epic Fail.

[dkbust3r]

yup

[MBnjmn]

he is rocking a blood brothers shirt

[dreamboy314]

re:kamuse

its a simple solo, so you can play it in a couple different positions but you get basically the same sound.

[dissrfc]

guitar should be louder

[VHVsGirl]

every video i've ever seen from expert village is somehow wrong in one way or another.. basically they suck

[kamuse90]

My teacher taught me in another way.

Does he play it right?

[Xrick56]

This is wrong

[hunterbrinson]

He plays songs really weird

It sounds ok though

[PriscoKid]

i agree

[Tyronel2kX]

in the words of the chinese "that's wong"

[nzephier]

to those who say expert village is incorrect, it is to a degree, but if you dont know how to play the solo/song, or are a beginner, then this is a step in the right direction.

for example, the original solo is like 2x3=6

this explanation is 3+3=6

they both end up alike, a little off this one, but it can help you get into the song.

[Fridge14989]

Wait,sorry,i new to guitar,do you have to do this with the pedals??

[hG2much4u]

If you want it like the original yes

[TheWho1978]

If you want it like the original get off this video.

[Krajisnik3P]

awsome ! 5 stars

[BulletDill97]

thanks nice guitar i got a 92 gibson les paul

Is it weird that I think the solo is much easier than the strumming part?
