  • I don't understand why YouTube decided to put an AI voice on top of mine ???? To hear the actual audio of this video, go to settings, audio track and then click "Russian Original". Have no idea why YouTube did this, sorry everyone!

    EDIT: After getting in touch with YouTube support, the AI dub track has thankfully been removed. So sorry for anyone who experienced issues watching in the first half hour!

  • Excelent video! Bleach is by far my favorite Nirvana album and I 100% agree when you say jan~may 1990 is peak Bleach era. Good job with the tone.

  • Hey brother. Long time subscriber and fan. Have you ever used the fender champion 100? I know the twin reverb is superior but can you get decent Nirvana tones from a Champion 100? Thanks brother;)

  • Bro, I've been wondering for a long time how you record sound on your videos, do you record only through a sound card, connect a combo amp to a computer or record guitars through a microphone?
    (sorry, i dont speak english)

  • Day 7 of asking if you’ve ever heard the guitar hero 2 cover of heart shaped box but I thought the solo was pretty cool and I think you should check it out and maybe make a video on it or something I know it’s kinda random

  • how do you play power chords with 2 fingers and playing only 3 strings?

    but you seems like only playing 3 strings with 2 fingers…. how is it possible?!?!

  • Kinda random but this was the best way I could spread this info. If you haven’t already, try checking out a band called “sap”! They got the exact tone and style of nirvana. Even the lead singer sounds like Kurt! Mostly on their songs like “pickle song” “trash man” and “kiss my kitty cat.” Ik its not nirvana but I still think it’s pretty cool 🙂
