Nirvana - Smell Like Teen Spirit (Guitar Only) 

That opening riff with the clean tone is so fucking sick

now my neighbours are thinking that is me at the guitar XD

When the drums didn’t come in i almost cried

Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't just a song, it's a musical achievement.

Looked this up just to hear 2:54 without any other sounds. Didn’t disappoint.

I want modern albums to sound like this again, dirty af

One of the most underrated aspect of this song is how in the pocket Cobain is with his guitar. Just listen that intro. He’s so groovin, not rushed, not dead and robotic. Just right there in the pocket waiting for Dave to come in with the fill.

0:06 tak dss duktakduk duktakduk duktak!

I always will love the guitar solo at 2:56

Dude, the solo at 2:54 is actually fucking sweet

I love how rough around the edges it is. Like you can hear him accidentally hit the wrong strings at some points but it only adds to the whole tone of the songs.

Love the feedback in the end of the solo

I never realized how thunderous the guitar is, good lord

They double tracked the guitar, and his vocals on this track, thus creating a bigger sound. Look at Drain You, they used like 5 different guitar tracks and played them over each other.

I’ve noticed that the distorted guitars actually fade in really quickly at the beginning rather than just coming in immediately

Obviously i knew the drums weren’t coming in but Jesus, not hearing them in the beginning really did surprise me

idk why but i love when mutes sound squeaky and scratchy like this

But real Nirvana fan hear Bass and drums in their head

You can slightly hear the drums at about 0:30

Sometimes its hard to believe that Kurt himself played this, considering his careless personality. He made it very clear in his work that he took his music seriously. Even in the slurring and screaming he put lots of effort into. Though he was overall kinda really I still have lots of respect for the guy. He had a good heart.

the feedback after the solo hits hard, really beautiful

This is actually great practice. It is pretty hard to get the timing down at first.

sounds way more grungy

0:06 “daa doo ttss doo daa doo tss doo daa doo daa doo doo

That signature fizz of the ds-1 is unmistakable. My favorite distortion pedal and probably my favorite guitar pedal of all time

I absolutely love that HUGE distortion sound

THE GUITAR SOLO ALWAYS GETS ME

Wow watching this and then seeing Aaron rashes video on it he’s so close

I’m in love with that guitar solo bruh

idk but this is still enjoyable af

0:28 without bass is so scare!

I love this final chord, this distortion mixed with the chorus ... It creates an incredible atmosphere 4:49

thanks now i can practise this shit for my shitty ass band

Bruh that guitar give me chills

@MattShredder49 He uses an BOSS Distortion, which is a foot pedal that he hits with his boot to activate it in the choruses..Simple when you know how dude !! A tried & well tested trick of swapping between 'clean' & 'dirty' guitar sounds..Been doing it myself for years & years only I use an OVERDRIVE pedal & a VINTAGE TUBE OVERDRIVE & DISTORTION & swap between the those two pedals when not using a 'clean sound directly through my AC-30 VOX Amplfifier..Both pedals I use are made by 'BEHRINGER'

Ok, from wikipedia and Butch Vig, the albums producer, "The guitar chords were double tracked because the band "wanted to make it sound more powerful," according to Vig.[16] The chords occasionally lapse into suspended chord voicings as a result of Cobain playing the bottom four strings of the guitar for the thickness of sound."

0:49 all is calm until the chaos

I feel like I wanted this but I didn't know.

Because one documentary just covers EVERYTHING about Nirvana.

drums is audible in some parts

This is cool. Very expressionistic.

2:54 is so good I only looked up to this

This is the greatest rock song of all time

That solo tho, really hits hard 2.56

What a sound love it, just as beautiful as the sound of a high performance engine been thrashed through the gears ⚙ 👌

HELL YEAH! I NEEDED THIS!!!

Awesome!!!!

Kids, kids, kids. You won't be able to replicate this amp with your Line 6 or Fender Mustang modeling amps. There is no "amp setting." It's okay. You don't need to replicate his tone with his exact gear. Just get a crunchy Fender with a humbucker and a vintage tube amp with a lot of mid. Tack along a Boss DS1 or any high gain distortion and you'll be okay. I promise. I love Kurt and Nirvana and am a gear freak but his tone on Nevermind is a plethora of sounds.

LONG LIVE KURT COBAIN. ❤ You will be forever revered, & remembered for your masterful employment of simplicity to create timeless, ever-rejuvenating art. ❤

1:05

I love this sound 0:20

I live for the high pitched gain feedback on every single chky chky

i love the very faint drums at 0:48

in the record the guitar is recorded many times, are like 3 or more guitars in the same time, so the distortion is heard strong, ISN'T QUESTION OF PEDALS ;)

Two distortions?

just an awesome one.

damn, the guitar is huge

It is true, in a documentary Butch Vig himself says that they double tracked it to make it more powerful..

It will always smell like teen spirit 🎸🎸🎸🎸 Just like Come as you are 🎸🎸🎸🎸

2:54

@MattShredder49 There is more than one guitar track on this. But live it's chorus for all the verse, then turn on a distortion pedal and then turn off the chorus pedal for the chorus.

I LOVE KURT!

Trop bien merci.

FUUUCKin' amazing!!!

Good feedback

@MattShredder49 Well, chorus and distortion pedals both on and he plays CC F CC F over and over.

Blat-dum dooBlat-dum dooBlat-dum dooBlat-dum PSHHHHHHHHHhhhh

I kinda like it with guitar only

could you put a download link? it´s awesome 👏

If you put ur ears closely to the speaker, you can hear some hidden guitar track mixed. Idk if it is really “mixed” or he just added them up.

Bro i sereosly hear the drums like no joke

The drum is still playing but with a small volume

@MattShredder49 he uses a padle which changes to octave of the guitar I think

a strand of kurts hair > your life

Boss DS1/DS2 (mainly the DS1 but sometimes he would use the DS2) and the EH Small clone, Kurt used the EH Polychorus in Radio friendly unit shifter for the intro.

I love that hardcore guitar

0:08 Wow there's a wall of guitars 😮

@MattShredder49 channel switcher (I use a line 6 floor pod to do it

its SMELLS like teen spirit not SMELL like teen spirit😭😭

it’s so hard for me to not imagine the drums and bass

How did you separate the parts of the songs?!?!?!? PLEASE ANSWER ME PLEASE T_T THANKS A LOT

Load up on guns, bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend She's over-bored and self-assured Oh no, I know a dirty word Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now, entertain us A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido Yeah, hey I'm worse at what I do best And for this gift I feel blessed Our little group has always been And always will until the end Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now, entertain us A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido Yeah, hey And I forget just why I taste Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile I found it hard, it's hard to find Oh well, whatever, never mind Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now, entertain us A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial

I know people say this song is easy but I find it almost impossible because of the strumming pattern. I can play much harder songs than this but I've never ever been able to get the strumming pattern to this right

My visual representation of this guitar tone is when you crush a meatball with your fork taking the first bite…

anyone know how to get a guitar to sound like that?

Can you upload a guitar only track for Come As You Are?

why do i get sleepy hearing guitar edit: this is like my asmr. fr

AWESOME!!! xD May I please use this in a mashup with MJ's Billie Jean and Adele's Rumour Has It?

Does anybody know how to play that little hidden bridge in between the ryff for the chorus? Link us to a video.

Two things if u listen close, hidden guotar track amd drums playing at around 0:30

that guitar roars

Hell yeah

2:53 love that little wammy

@MattShredder49 lol he doesnt change, he play it separatly

Still pretty true though, any false edits get corrected quickly

2:46 inventing steam notification sound before it was a thing

@AnotherDayInTheDitch on his voice, no. But on his guitar, yes.

@MattShredder49 It wasn't recorded in one take.

There’s def a hidden track. On the album you can hear him bomb down from the big E string the first time he hits the distortion pedal.
