Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit by Philippe Bertaud

[ChiapasZapata]

its hard to say but this show almost one: Its "easy" to play this fast, technical perfect and with a lot of these and those... its way more difficult to play it poor but let it still sounds amazing... Curt was one of those people, Dylan and Young also....,

[SamsonKiRA]

Shunga Jung Copied his Version :P

[FreyaHoppe]

@SamsonKiRA Many people think that, but actually Sungha didn't 'copy' anyone; The song was originally written by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, then fingerstyle guitarist Eric Roche did an arrangement of it on guitar, and Sungha then covered Eric's version of it! Check out Eric Roche if you haven't already- He's a great guitarist, sadly not with us anymore but he has really influenced alot of other guitarists, including myself! :)

This is a very tasteful and artistic version, and I love the improvisation. My friend is about to have you for a guitar teacher, so I came and looked you up. He's going to get good learning from you!

[noobsrus21900]

Beautiful version of the song! Thanks philippe!

[realityforwhom33]

Kurt had a keen since of melody in which he shows very well in the verse of this song; its very mournful and beautiful at the same time. It translates very well into other instruments.

Great!!!

Thumbs up!

[BuyClassicalGuitars]

You're such a fantastic player! And the arrangement is so great.

Will you upload a tab?

[6nylonstrings]

Im a fan!

U opened a whole new music world to me!

[robertericks]

Great improvisation and dynamics! Thanks for showing this song in a classical spirit.

[PhilippeBertaud]

@robertericks Thanks! You mean "in a teen spirit" don't you ;)

Cheers

[PhilippeBertaud]

@Gactivefy You're right... but, really, I do not see the point in playing a song note for note. I prefer turning it into my own way and add my style to it, and personality.

Otherwise, why playing guitar?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

I like the kid Sungha Jung's cover of Eric Roche's arrangement of this song better. sorry.

[6nylonstrings]

Oh yeah! Of course a version that plays the same theme over and over is maybe easier for your to listen to.

This is the version played with most feeling on here. And there is a real solo... ask the chinese kid to play the scales though. And buy yourself some ears.

[guitarman069]

i bought some new ears man like you suggested...but now I think this guy needs to clean up his playing and get some ear training coz some of his notes are off...way off.Props for the attempt but Kurt is rolling in his grave.

[PhilippeBertaud]

Thank you for your support but guitarman69 can have a different opinion. I respect that. We live in a World where each one has his place. But, again, thank you for your support ant thanks to both of you for watching the D'Addario video. It will be in the next DVD.

[6nylonstrings]

@guitarman069 what a stupid comment... you have no taste or what?

[guitarman069]

@6nylonstrings Aren't we all entitled to our own opinion stupid? and I respect PhilippeBertaud for respecting mine unlike you. I just tell you what my ear thinks...Why does that bother you? We are all different..and by the way I just happen to live in a democracy stupid.

[6nylonstrings]

That is amazing! The best version on the internet. And you really captured the wild side!!!

[goldenowner728]
