Polly(Nirvana Cover)

[lordevil333]

Nice work on this cover, man. =) The vocals were pretty close to Kurt's and the guitar playing was spot on. I'm learning this song myself and I'm hoping to make a cover of it one of these days and this definitely gives me some perspective on how the song is played. (You play it a little different than how I learned.) Awesome job and you sir, have earned a "Like". =D

[DrowningYourMother]

I was going to mention the insesticide version in regards to the fast tempo, but I realized you mentioned it in the description. Insesticide version is better anyways in my opinion. PLAY THAT SHIT FAST!

[BreakingPNVZ]

Are you a worker (Buiding constructions) Beacause you hat is a little dirty and the pants are (to me)? By the way Nice Cover! Love it!

[clintmich]

@BreakingPNVZ I'm a landscaper.

[ccsman87]

[clintmich]

@ccsman87 i play it like that on purpose.

[nodice333]

@clintmich sounds good, i hate when people think a cover is supposed to be exact to the original, i like how you made it your own

[lysbyrk]

Hey dude , you play really good . Can you give me the tabs of polly ?

[MooneYoungBlood]

@lysbyrk verses go E, G, D, C, and chorus goes D, C, G, B flat.

[TheRevSRB]

[aliensuperfan]

@NastyGerman420 Calm ur ass down. make your vid and then we will see which cover is better

[skiny998]

@NastyGerman420 no one sounds like Kurt, and people who boast about it are even bigger idiots. Grow up, even if you're 13 who cares give respect to Kurt, big mouthed prat

[kurtcourtney67]

Really good cover, but you the description box says "kurt pulled this song out of his hat during the Nevermind recordings". That's not true, he wrote that song in the late 80's. They even played Polly with Chad on drums. No offense or something, I just wanted to tell you.

Great cover!

[clintmich]

@kurtcourtney67 oh i know it was writtin long before the nevermind recordings. It just wasnt originally intended to be on the Nevermind album. Kurt just started playing it and it got recorded.

[kurtcourtney67]

@clintmich Oh that's what you ment. Okay, I didn't know that. Thanks for telling. =)

[rclarkbow]

very nice good job

[RickyBerty]

good job!!! xDD

[Shpat100]

Good!

[14Rissa]

better than most ive seen of polly covers. good job.

[Alechevy]

Yeah man! you cover fine!

[jammersession]

Are u using JUMBO Fret/neck lol

[clintmich]

@jammersession yes they are jumbo frets

[Pasalaqcua]

you do know this song is about rape?

[YOURMOMMY169]

[dimitri975868547]

[chamking25]

Great cover !

[420drummerman]

Nice stairs:D

[pedromarquesI]

[RockFrank76]

very nice, you are very good

[bvens]

One the stairs XD check my version!

[CheyenneSloan]

not bad, where are you from, you look somewhat southern

[clintmich]

@CheyenneSloan I'm From Eastern Canada. New Brunswick to be exact.

[CheyenneSloan]

@clintmich oh cool, i just learned how to play this on the guitar...your good

[ajpdll]

@clintmich its not that southern! lol

[clintmich]

@ajpdll I never said it was. lol CheyenneSloan did. Im from the East not South.

[tiagojeff123]

very good :D

[mihanich]

that is the best polly cover ive seen here on youtube, honesstly. ps: your guitar has awesome sound!

[lueducard]

nice, so nice like will say in my country, que chimba loco sigue asi, nice voice, fingers up.

[1024steven]

nice cover, what version were you doing?? (mental cool vocals)

[clintmich]

@1024steven I guess this is my version lol, but kurt did it alot like this when he was playing it live with his band.

[TobeyCZ]

Good job very good

[40z2freeDom1]

NICe MAn

[feeblemindedman1]

hey man its great rendition thanks a lot. know i can play the song.

[tripleTpHil14]

Russell Howard look-a-like. (British Comedian).

[73rdStop]

its the eyes!

[Drats1NHScrew]

@tripleTpHil14 holy shit LOOOOL

[clintmich]

ok now I just shake my head. Yes! its fast! I got it! lol I mentioned it in the annotations at the start. And, I like it this way. its fun to play faster. You play it how YOU want! Kurt had a few different versions of this song. You can have one too! Songs get sped up all the time. Megadeth plays Black Sabbaths song Parinoid. and they play it a hell of alot faster. Im sure Ozzys not bitch'n because Megadeth plays it faster.

So Do What You Want With Covers. Speed em up, slow em down, have fun!

[Sakkawokkie]

@clintmich Amen! Nicer cover man.

[petrfast]

nice cover, but you playing this really too fast not for me i can play with the same speed (cause my surname is Fast ;) really) but this song is really cute slower :)

[luks20071]

its exelent, good job man!

[z1001989]

watch you're timing

besides that, good job.

[clintmich]

too fast for you maybe

[clintmich]

If you knew anything at all about the history of this song ,or the fact that Kurt played it at a different speed pretty much every time he did it live, you would realize that the speed of this song is not a factor! Thanks for listening though.

[EiZPITEY]

your guitar looks like white chocolate :)

[Rockabilly5956]

It is really good just slow down alot

[clintmich]

as I said before in a previous comment. Polly has been played many different speeds by Cobain. Check the Insecticide album. Its played super fast.

[rekin2]

great one - how long are you playing guitar?

[clintmich]

for about 17 years

[lysann42]

good! love your voice! greets from germany

[thelostvikings999]

[carlosz882]

[clintmich]

Washburn D-11N

[Mrbuto1]

not bad :)

[caffeineproblemful]

good cover, beatiful guitar

[skullebrity]

[NerdLifeForLife]

Holy hell, great place to record. Helped make a great recording. Can't get over how good that guitar sounds.

[TheSTYLfbr]

Great job this is best best best guitar music

[dessinraccoon]

[Vampiregrunge95]

Amazing cover man, Polly was my first song i learn by myself, very nice notes to play Kurt's a genius

[Leono182]

is one of the best coverages polly, I saw the video before, but I not comment jeje

sorry bad my english

grettings from Chile

Google Tools jajja some words

:D

PS: The guitar seems to White Chocolate. I want to eat it

5 stars and favourites

[kakbratze97]

yes it`s a great sond

[NLLObStEr]

oehhh your guitar has a great sound, is it a Maton??

[clintmich]

its a Washburn

[caffeineproblemful]

what model? i am getting the d10s

[clintmich]

its a D-11N

[CursaKuma]

btw clintmich if you watch about a son, kurt sais he had polly written back when bleach was done :)!! but because the drummer bleach was too much of a wiener they didn't get it released at the right time

[clintmich]

i know when it was written..it wasnt originally intended for the Nevermind recordings.but Kurt just started playing it ..and it ended up on the record.

[harrybob96]

stick to guitar

[davidnjara]

very nice... well done!

[clintmich]

This is a response to all the comments saying this is played to fast. Polly can be played at any speed! Have any of you heard of New wave Polly on the Insesticide album? It was played unbelievably fast. So the speed of the song doesn't really matter.

[CursaKuma]

true.. not bad dude.. really cool actually.. ill be uploading a polly vid soon.. keep an eye out :)

[jmtbrc]

hey man good cover - im with you - learn a song and play it how you will - make it your own leave as it is - totally upta you dude - keep on rockin' in the FREE world ;)

[CursaKuma]

Yeah it's up now.. and also if you check my description on my video, you can watch kurt play it this fast.

[Jmorgasmic]

dude slow down!

[jujajujaja]

awesome dude best cover I've seen so far... but hit a little bit slowers those mute chords... o and by the way you're singing is good just don't force you voice to much

[masked0warrior]

Just hit slower on those mutes...

[slipkvana]

Nice cover man! =D

[unexpectedhero]

Still the best polly cover on you tube! Every other version is just weak compared to this. Kurt lives on.

[classickarlos]

Yo dude, forget all these loosers telling you you cant sing. When singing grunge imperfection is perfection, you sing slightly off key which makes it sound killer! Oh and if you didnt know this already, the lyrics arent 'free myself', they're 'please myself'.

[clintmich]

ha ha ..yea i knew i fucked up that lyric. I figured what the hell and posted the vid anyway..Kurt changed his lyrics all the time..Thanks for the comment.

[kubaDBWA]

no matter how fast. it's great :D

[slipknot04061995]

you is as good as nirvana exellent

[slipknot04061995]

very good

[kay924026]

[mustlovemooses]

[ToaJoe]

[mrmilkmanx]

[inheaven93]

[placemuz92]

I liked your voice. Great to hear someone who's not trying to imitate the original. I appreciate that.

[amp5589]

you rush it a little slow it down just a bit

[noach716]

[Halas15]

[XTwittyX]

VERY GOOD! im to playing like that !! COOL!!!!!!!!! KEEP GOING!

[musicjunkie207]

Kurt saw a article in the paper about a girl who was kidnapped and tied up and totured and raped. She escaped by being nice to the guy and then he let down his guard and untied her and she escaped. Kurt was upset by this and he decided to write a song about it from the kidnappers point of view. 100% true

[bxoo]

Rich shell

[SHB94]

Very good man

[clintmich]

yea it was written at the same time of the bleach songs.But...was never actually intendened to be a track on Nevermind.Kurt just started playing it..so they just recorded it.

[Judodotnet]

awesome man.

[onlnr]

Kurt didn't pull this song out of the hat during the Nevermind recording sessions.. it was written at about the same time as the Bleach songs.

[Thupore]

nice rendition..

Taizy

[clintmich]

its a washburn
