NAILED IT ! Yes it sounds like Bad Motofinger and AIC, great stuff my bro ! Silverchair even, I was 30 when all this happened and it was a fantastic musical awakening, the power and expression of it all. Happy to see the torch passed. Thanks for posting this.

I know that this video is old, but I just saw it and oh the sound and the glory! I loved those albums as well. I was 24 and delivery pizzas when Nevermind and Badmotorfinger came out. Still adore that sound to this day. Thanks for this!

I'm glad I found this! Grew up loving Soundgarden, AIC and the whole grunge scene. Just started playing the guitar last year and I want to learn as much grunge sound as I can!

A Nirvana video would be killer showing how to do the controlled feedback technique, etc. I haven't seen anyone do that yet.

Brilliant video, I'd love to hear you talk about some clean grunge tones. My writing style sits somewhere between soundgarden/pearl jam and pumpkins early work. I can never seem to nail a clean sound down though!

@zeep32696

I only just picked up guitar about a year ago and haven't written a ton but personally I can get a sort of clean grunge thing going if I write songs on acoustic without even thinking about how it will sound on electric. No fuzz from the beginning makes the product cleaner, because you're making something that sounds good without it.

You need to structure your songs. So tou have a cool riff that should be for your chorus now make another riff for your verses and build around that. If you want a pre chorus, Bridge, solo or breakdown those are elements you can add
