I love this song with all of Brad style in it, but I HATE when songs are not complete!!!!!

@BateroCarbon Brad gradually lets the song evolve in 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', but it was too long to upload both. I made the cut just before he starts playing the chords of 'teen spirit' for the first time.

"Recorded at Vienne, France 2010" Do you know where Vienne really is?

[OhNoxius]

@TorradeTorris don't confuse Vienne with Vienna

@SenilerGummi Well that might not me exactly right what I'm doing there to what he is doing but its reasonably close, and sounds alright :)

@SenilerGummi iv almost figured out the song... if your talking bout the intro, he is playing a constant pattern of (notes bottom to top) E A B E Ab, changing to E A B E A changing to E A C# E A, then resolving back to the 2nd then to the first. he continues this for a while, whilst playing melodies in both the left and right hands, I'm not entirely sure exactly which notes are played with which hands, i guess you can figure that out for your own style

[SenilerGummi]

can someone transcribe the basic chords? i know that he is playing E b D and A in the left hand but what is the right hand playing?

[ProkhorSeraphim]

@ShredST it was nonchalant mimicry, acting as a veil to cover my own opinion, reflecting how the average person commenting on this video appears to think. the response i got was just too predictable, haha...and to be fair, i was a dick for no real reason other making myself feel smarter. shabam
