So I've practiced this song quite a bit, and this is the result.
I've adjusted my amp settings and added a Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal. I gave up on trying to record with just the camcorder so I recorded the audio directly to my PC and synced it with the video.
It's not great, but definitely better than the last one. Comments are welcome.

Mistakes I am Aware of:
-distortion on a bit late
-unsteady tempo at times
-missed notes during the verse/bridge
-missed notes at the beginning of the solo

I'll be practicing to try and fix all of these.

  • a little to much distortion on that peddal xD

  • i don't think so. i'm pretty sure kurt cobain used a ds-1 with the distortion all the way up. sounds right to me.

  • dont listen to the haters

  • He used a DS-1 for most of his "Bleach"-era writing, and he had the "Distortion" and "Level"knobs all the way up with the tone knob just past 12-o-clock, running into a Bottom-of-the-Line Mesa Boogie preamp. "Nevermind" had a completely different setup.

  • Kurt Cobain Did Use A DS-1 For Smells Like Teen Spirit

  • great... but try to get a new equipment friend... maybe a polychorus... a good fender amp... a good guitar.

    Greetings

  • no problem. :D

  • Thank you, such eloquent criticism is extremely helpful.

  • but, you are right about one thing... THIS GUY CAN'T PLAY GUITAR FOR SHIT!!!!!!!

  • I set my amp to Treble: 7, Bass: 2, Mid: 5, Gain: 7, then I have my DS-1 (the pedal cobain used until the In Utero tour when he switched tot he DS-2 with the same settings as his ds-1) I have the level all the way, the tone point at the c in the check light and the distortion at 3 o'clock. I play that through the bridge humbuckers of guitars and get so fucking close that it is scary. Those settings will cover you from Bleach all the way to In utero with very little tweaks to the distortion knob.
