@askmehow25 Great point. A lot of haters like to talk about how Kurt was not the best guitarist. Obviously he was not a "shredder" (and was not trying to be) but he's in Hendrix territory re singing while playing with no rythm guitar as backup (except near the end w/ Pat Smear). A lot of famous guitarists (e.g., Slash, Van Halen, Santana, etc etc) have NOT sung while playing. That's at a whole nother level just to do that. Even Nirvana power chord stuff that everyone likes to put down.
@ironmaiden12341 nope. i'm already getting impatient actually. anyone who has the skills and passion and wants to form a band? i need two people, a bassist and a kickass drummer. btw, i'm also a drummer and i can actually play all nirvana songs i cover in guitar in drums.
@macbethgreg Yeah, really good stuff. Everyone likes to talk about how "any beginner can play Nirvana stuff." Any beginner can *start* to mess around with parts of a lot of Nirvana stuff, but not everyone can play it really well and cleanly like you do. Kurt did not "shred," obviously, but he actually played very "fast" when you count all the scratches and intricacies in the middle of notes.
Hey Louie, can you tell me what strings you play for the verse? I want to get this perfect and it just isnt coming together with any of these shitty tabs off the net.
i play the D string. i didn't make the high E string tuned to an F like what kurt is doing. instead i replaced it with a B string in the 6th fret together with the D string in the 5th. try it.
Don't think I've ever seen a Nirvana cover from you that sucked man! Your fucking amazing!! Keep it up! Also, where can I get the right tabs for this song!?
wrong it's drop C. if you play this in D flat it's sound like a fuck and it won't be as tight as this. make a video and play it in D flat. you don't have ears for music.
It's a well-known fact that he always exclusively played in drop D flat. But you did a good cover. I never bothered to learn the solo. it confuses me.
huh? he did a lot of tunings. in the Bleach album, some of them are standard, some are Eb, and this song is a drop C tuning with an Eb tuned high E string. in nevermind, most are standard, some are D tuned like lithium and drain you, something in the way is drop C#. in In Utero, he did all Eb tunings, except for the drop C# in Heart Shaped Box, all apologies, and Scentless apprentice. in his 1991 concerts, he usually used a standard and Drop D tunings. in 1992 to 1994, he used Eb and drop C#.
It's an awesome cover, you did it justice. I'm just saying that he mainly played most of the time in Eb. HSB is D flat. Lithium is not in Drop D. It's in E flat. You can watch him play power chords live. You play barre chords in D. There are none present in live performances of Lithium. Drain you is also in E flat. I promise man. I'm pretty much an expert on Nirvana.
i didn't say that lithium is in DROP D. it's in D tuning. just like Drain you studio version and Verse Chorus Verse. Live performances of nirvana are different. he did standard tunings in 1991 and that affects all their songs so drain you and lithium sounds higher in their 1991 concerts. in 1992-1994 they did Eb tunings in all their songs.you can't compare live versions in their studios because you don't see them playing in studio.
try tuning your guitar in Eb tuning and play Drain you studio version using the chords B-Eb-G#-C#. it'll sound funny because it's not the right tuning. this song is in D tuning but drop C. and the High E is tuned to an Eb. like this CGCFAEb tuning. i made videos of all the songs that i like in Nirvana (almost all). it's in my playlist so you might wanna check em all out.
It was Db in the studio and live. Blew is a drop D song. That's just all there is to it. You can see him playing the barre chords if you just pay attention and look.
Awesome!
