People forget that he was singing over these. Kurt knew how to write riffs and some are really tricky, if not try to sing over them. Yet still folks says he was a crappy player.

People don’t appreciate how Cobain is like Adam Jones of tool, or Tom Morello. He doesn’t shred, although he does occasional flashy stuff. He adds layers to the sound and makes you bang your head, and that’s beautiful simplicity.

@@brittz7506 Agree. But even Smells Like Teen Spirit is super great. And if you are a songwriter you can really recognise that. But that has also alot to do with Dave Grolls drumming on that track as well. How he lifts up that simple guitar riff with his approach on the drums... Then we are even excluding this masterfully written vocal melody that goes with these four chords, or this simple bassline that follows the root of these chords, played by Krist Novoselic.

IMO as someone who does not have the musical talent to be a musician but has the guitar talent to be good to great guitar player by itself, I would say his style is like taking the very very basics of rhythm guitar playing, with his strumming n chord progressions, is where u should be at 6 months after playing, but instead of learning more techniques and skills he just out accents and Ferness on this style, and his music was not really a product of a great music track and a great vocal track constructing a song, more of his two instruments making a unique sound when put together as a song.

Love it! Aero Zeppelin has always been a fav of mine, along with sappy. Bleach was pretty much my introduction to guitar music and incesticide has always been an album I love. I just think they got their sound so right on it. Poppy like nevermind but still dark like bleach. Keep it up man, always love your vids, especially these nostalgia heavy ones

He was an amazing song writer. So many catchy riffs. And the melodies just took them to another level.

Nice work! All killer riffs and your tone is excellent

This definitely helped to remind me of the unique greatness of Nirvana. I dig your sound as well.

I never realized how often he used E string bends. Very cool and unique riffs. Dive makes me think of Pantera's Walk. This vid makes me want to listen to Bleach and Incesticide for first time in years. Has some awesomely weird shit (Hairspray Queen) in addition to the great rock on display here (Dive, Aero Zeppelin). Aero Zeppelin sounds like a more melodic version of thrash to me... one of the most energizing songs I heard in the 90s.

Awesome playing. I think “Big Long Now” might be my favorite album cut. Such a great tune.

Kurt was 22 when he released those riffs for bleach and was a legend by the time he died at 27. gotta love young talent

Great video!! Dave actually came up with the Scentless Apprentice riff! 🤘🤘

Great work!

Engraçado, depois falam que o Kurt não era criativo e não tocava bem, vai entender, o cara era foda demais, fazia tanto musica puxado mais para o POP ROCK, mas também inventava RIFFS como estes do vídeo, pesados , bem Grunge e sensacionais !!! Pra min um gênio da música !!!

Kurt is my Idol ever since i was in high school and you give an awesome rift man nice video

Well done! Tittle could also be most Cobain riffs :D it is mind boggling what he could come up with using just barre chords and how he was able to put some epic melodies on some of the fairly atonal chords. Not to forget how musical Krist was in his anarchist way and how Dave had very much signature drum parts in every song to give depth to the otherwise simple songs. This made such an impact on me in -92 onwards so I'm obviously biased but it was such a great band wasnt it.

Maaaan sick tone

It's really cool to see Kurt's influences and his personal way of expressing an idea, clearly you can see a lot of Melvins in some riffs and something close to Black Flag too.

So good to hear those riffs ❤👏 Blew will always be my favourite 😁

Great selection.

There’s something hypnotic about Big Long Now. Definitely one of the highlights of Insesticide.

Great video

Appreciate what you are doing here. The interesting thing about Kurt's riffs are they are not quite as simple as they seem. You are playing alot of them 98% correct with just a tiny bit of variance to how he actually played them. The other thing to note is that often he would simplify the way he played certain songs for live shows compared to the studio recordings. Another thing is few songs also evolved over time in the way they were played. Kurt had an odd way of playing with some things almost seeming to be made more difficult than they possibly should have been, but then who am I to tell someone how their own songs should have gone. Anyway, cheers for the vid.

damn! took me back 30+ lol. your guitar sounds killer to

Awesome seeing these songs played. 👍👏🏻🎸

Papercuts has been, and maybe always will be my ultimate favorite Nirvana song!

What a badass riff merchant Kurt was. He drank deep from the Iommi well with a slight twist of Lennon!.

I love all these riffs tout killed it. Clean and dirty sound. Can feel the energy!

sick dude. Glad to see milk it on here

nirvana was so big sometimes it makes me wonder whether if they were a product of the 90s or the 90s a product of them (among other 90s zeitgeists of course), good work too, you really nailed it and now i have to binge listen nirvana for a week, which i don't mind at all ❤ edit: also the intro to breed is stuck in my head 24/7

Excellent !

Swap meat is such a great song. Perfect way to start this off

So true and so good !!

Dive been my fave Nirvana song for as long as I can remember. As pivotal as Kurt's guitar style and vocals were, the bass playing and drumming ferocity are massive influences on the band's sound. Pioneers for sure.

Awesome!

Awesome!!!!

Underrated for sure. Shredding is cool but a concise, memorable riff is much more satisfying to my ears. Cobain was capable of a lot more than people realize. A lot of his Bleach-era guitar solos are just fantastic; certainly better than I could come up with. Thank you for showcasing some of those great riffs! Big Long Now and Swap Meet are criminally under appreciated, even by Nirvana fans.

The best album - bleach. So heavy, raw, "true"... Themes, lyrics, atmosphere. Pre chorus on paper cuts might be the coolest " Brakedown" In Kurt's discography

Great. Nirvana has some cool riffs. Some people seem to forget that.
