started playing guitar couple of months ago, and this is by far the best song teaching on youtube i've seen. Love that you' re showing the strumming pattern as well as the chords. Instant sub!
I just had to comment. This is the first song I ever played fully. And i wasn't playing it as close to the actual unplugged version. You helped me sound more like it. Just a couple chords I had wrong. Thank you!!! It's my favorite nirvana song. You do such excellent work Dave. Very grateful. 🙏🏻
I learned the strumming from a video Marty has that really simplifies it and came here to learn the solo, and boom you have the whole song, there are a couple "weird" chords in there but with some practice they get easy As a sidenote, I tried to learn this song with my classic guitar and it never sounded good or even close on some of the chords, but yesterday I got an acoustic guitar and I immediately got it and can play the whole song start to finish, just thought I'd say it in case that's your issue too
@@SerechIII’ve come not to love Marty’s teaching style and his video on this song is a great example of why. He doesn’t explain the power chords at all, he just says you can do the bar chord or power chord version in some parts then in other parts you have to do one or the other, but doesn’t obviously show explain or the difference between the two. It frustrated me to no end. I struggle with power chords and that video absolutely did not help. I’m not sure what you’re seeing in it that I’m not, I’d be curious to know because I really want to get power chords down
@foolycooly3763 yeah, I can definitely see that, it's pretty handwave-y, he kinda gives some options and lets you figure it out, for me, on nirvana songs that feels great, because they are on the simpler side and they don't need to sound perfect by design, other songs maybe not so much On the other hand, I've been playing guitar for some years and mostly only finger pick so power chords are no issue, I'm used to memorizing tabs too, so Marty telling me to bend my fingers a little and do some power chords so I can play a whole song is just very efficient teaching
Thanks for the lesson. This song is my first full song, and I've almost got it down solo and all, mate! I always know where to go to get amazing lessons!
Another perfect tutorial! Explained very well, lots of stuff visible on screen to help me with the practice. Took me a while to get used to the chord changes and the strumming but with such a lesson it's only a matter of time until I perfect it! Thank you!!! Really!
Excellent videos! Just a note though, Kurt doesn't play a true G chord in this song - he leaves every string open except the low and high E strings, which are G notes on the 3rd fret using his index and ring fingers. His middle finger and pinky are not on the fretboard. Source: any live footage of this song, including MTV Unplugged.
Bonjour de France :-) thank you for the video, it's so nice to play and you explain very well even for beginners and for those whose mother tongue is not English, which is my case. I can't wait for you to make us a video on the man who sold the world. best wishes
Really great lesson ! I saw a couple of other tabs that sounded amazing but were a bit too hard for me, this is the perfect balance of rightness/ease !
I got the Dreadnought and a Bartolini 3AV to get this sounds, but I must say , the L.R. Baggs M1 sounds way better, but It didin't exist back in the Kurt Cobain days, thanks for an awesome video!
Thank you so much!, I was trying to find which pickup was better for the Unplugged tone but I couldn't find any good information, it seems that all people go for the 3AV, now I´m ordering the M1 active, also, with which guitar did you test the pickups? I am also searching for a worth guitar that sounds the most similar to the guitar used on the Unplugged, I would love to give some advice from you, again, Thank you so much!
@@samsschool3639 Thank you man! for the last question, have you tried the seymour duncan Woody pickup? And the L.R. Baggs M1 sounds more like the Nirvana Unplugged? Or only it have a better sound that Bartolini?
@@ricardoontiveros3246 No worries amigo, The Bartolini sounds more like a electric guitar, almost like an "acoustic stratocaster" (if there was such a thing), that gives that unique Nirvana Unplugged Sound (Especially on the G-string) The L.R. Baggs M1 really sounds like a Country Western Acoustic Steel Guitar, but you avoid the feedback from the speaker completley, and you can use both Bartolini and LR Baggs with effect pedals and they sounds WAY better (I have the Boss OC1 Bass, CE1 Phaser, DS1 Distortion etec) I havent tried the SD Woody
That’s great! You must have a good natural feel for rhythm! My strumming patterns are always just suggestions too, always feel free to improvise as you please.
for a long time i thought 1st chord is an Em. for another long time an E. if you play it alone, no backing tracks you'll notice something is missing or you're not quite there. it's because is an E5 that you can play like an Em or E BUT muting the 3rd string: 022X00. i'll tell you more: same with where did you sleep last night. it makes the difference, actually a lot of nirvana songs even in acoustic work this way. some folks would say simple, i'd say genius.
Hi!! I’ve been watching your tutorials for as long as I can remember!! Is there anyway you can do one for “My Lover, My Friend” AJ Mitchell? I can not for the life of me find one anywhere out there on the internet and would really appreciate it! It seems like it’s the same fingerpicking pattern the entire song, but I still can’t seem to figure it out! Thanks!
My son is 9 and had his first guitar lesson in school today (one day a week) ....he seems to want to keep learning..I haven’t got money at the moment to buy a guitar for him...someone offered to sell me a half decent ukulele. Could he learn and practice at home with that until I buy him a guitar for his birthday? Many thanks. Wales uk
Can i play power chords the other way : wrist behind and thumb up the neck like any other open chord? I can't play just like you do , with barré-like chords (wrist underneath the guitar's neck)
More nirvana pls

As Chief bobby said you are a very good teacher and when I practice songs with you I get them much faster. Thanks!
Thanks so much Peter, really appreciate the kind support!
Finally someone who shows the chords/tabs on screen, thank you so much!
Thank you so much, I’ve just started playing guitar in August of 2024 and this tutorial was very helpful
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Legit all the power chords are

That’s still a G chord though, G2

Outstanding lesson thank you. Clear concise to the point and an excellent format and way of presenting, top drawer.

Thank you!
I never knew I could do this but I always played the verse but did my own strumming pattern and it’s the exact same one as what you did
That’s great! You must have a good natural feel for rhythm! My strumming patterns are always just suggestions too, always feel free to improvise as you please.
cool ..love it
Good video, hopefully you can do all the themes of nirvana's unplugged
gracias dave! ❤
Finishedddd it
man that f#11 is killing me
I love your tutorials and Nirvana 😄 Could you do a tutorial on Something In The Way sometime?
for a long time i thought 1st chord is an Em. for another long time an E. if you play it alone, no backing tracks you'll notice something is missing or you're not quite there. it's because is an E5 that you can play like an Em or E BUT muting the 3rd string: 022X00. i'll tell you more: same with where did you sleep last night. it makes the difference, actually a lot of nirvana songs even in acoustic work this way. some folks would say simple, i'd say genius.
Just today thought of learning this and you uploaded this! Thank you!!
Fun easy song!
Dave you started with the classics! Awesome mate! I'd suggest something acoustic like Opeth's - Ending credits, easy but really strong track..
