10 Nirvana Bass Riffs
Рет қаралды 553,423
Күн бұрынNow this list probably doesn't quite do Krist Novoselic's playing justice, as his best bass lines can often be found deeper into the middle sections of Nirvana songs e.g Been A Son, Stay Away, Lounge Act. However, as a non bass playing guitarist, I thought I'd have a go at some of the more iconic Nirvana bass riffs, with the added inclusion of She Only Lies for good measure.

What I like about nirvana is that the bass line often stands out. Usually basslines just follow the root notes of the guitar and you could play the song without bass. But from personal experience I can tell you that playing nirvana with only a drummer and a guitarist is very difficult

His bass playing philosophy was to "serve the song". Which he does masterfully. But he's not flashy. He just alternates down and upstrokes with a pick. Very simple and easily overlooked.
