Nirvana - In Utero: The Riffs
Рет қаралды 216,174
Күн бұрынHere is a guitar-only play through of the main riffs from Nirvana's 1993 album, 'In Utero'. I didn't focus too much on trying to get the exact sounds, and used only a Yamaha Pacifica and a basic distortion sound from a Boss Katana amp throughout. One of the interesting things about In Utero, which I really like, is how much looser it is than Nevermind in terms of tempo and some of the playing, which gives it more freedom.

@@billcelery6769 "Grunge" isn't a defined genre, it's just a catch-all term used for a lot of Seattle bands from the late 80s - early 90s. Notice how Soundgarden and Alice in Chains are both considered grunge but don't sound very alike. Nirvana was a grunge band and a punk band, these things aren't mutually exclusive.

One of the things that always gets me is how great the song writing and the guitar work on In Utero are. Kurt was great as far back as the demos for Bleach, but he was still getting better, and the band was really building into something beyond incredible. Those live performances with Pat in the band are just top notch. And "You Know You're Right" really leaves us with a big "what if?"

This video is just more evidence on how much you can do with a basic (in a good way) Kurt/Nirvana tone. I don't mean that in a bad way at all. I just mean that I've seen countless videos of people trying to nail Kurt's tone and you've done it with stock sounds from a Katana. I feel like any basic distorted sound will get you there and everything else is all feel and playing loose. Another great video bro!

instead of going out of your way to find kurts exact gear just get whats cheap and works (like a certain someone). my rig is a modded mustang, an old peavy amp i got for free, a samsamp clone and chorus from behringer. both pedals are like $30 and my tone is closer than 90% of the people who have what kurt used
