All the layering being taken off.
I’ll say you did exactly just that here. Great work.
Thank you so much, that means a lot! That is basically what I was going for, how would you recreate every tone with a single guitar for a live situation
@@NirvanaGuitars Yeah you got it down especially seeing all your other videos.
I’d argue it was a knock out of the park in my view
🤫🧏♂️
You're everywhere. I've seen you comment on Slipknot videos, then Nine Inch Nails, and now Nirvana. What do you not listen to, haha
I wonder if there will be something in the way of recreating all the tones. Trying to recreate them all must completely Drain You.
Recreating them is a lot of work. I say stay away. Of course, maybe those constraints will breed some creative solutions.
i think he cant complain, passing back and forth between all those pretty songs to entertain us
I see what you did there
Yeah it must be pretty hard
Edit: Polly
"And if you re-create the tones, you will make them happy. ... You're in a UA-cam Room... Conclusion came to you."
to this day lounge act should have been the single.
Definitely one of the most underrated songs on the album!
@@NirvanaGuitars damn right!!
DRAIN YOU
@@kristopherguilbault5428one babeh too anotha sais im luckeh to met youuh
Lounge act is probably one of if not my favorite song on Nevermind
16:48 is the best part of endless nameless in my opinion
i agree, it feels so eerie and cool
simple but the best
to be honest endless nameless is unironically in my top 4 of the album
hot take it’s the only good part of endless, nameless. No shame just not my style of music
@@goodpeople2953 yeah
Even if the competition wasn't used a whole lot on the album, and not used at all in this configuration, this still sounds wild! I love it. Great job again!
Thank you so much my friend!! I agree that it most likely wasn't used that much on album, it feels like a strat heavy album. But this is the set up/configuration I would use if I were to play the entire album live with a tribute band 😊
Always here to compliment. And you're right, definitely 80% Strat.
Absolutely MONSTER tones on drain you and endless, nameless my dude well done man
Thank you so much my friend, truly means a lot! Thank you as always for the continued support 🙏
@@NirvanaGuitars you're welcome man
This guitar sounds so good dude keep the good work up!
Thank you!
@@NirvanaGuitars no problem dude!
Dude the repaint is beautiful i’d argue it’s as good or even better than the vintera II competition paint jobs
your strumming is seriously perfect. so refreshing hearing the intro to smells played right.
This sounds just like the isolated tracks, great job as always dude
Wow thank you so much!
Breed sounds absolutely spot on! great work eric! big fan
I love how this turned out! It’s a wonderful video in response to a good question, definitely can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thank you so much!! Got some fun comp stang content in the works 😃
@@NirvanaGuitars Ooo! Definitely looking forward to it!
you would probably get closer to smells like teen spirit using the randall
no way, new nirvanaguitars upload! love your tone videos!
New video every Friday! Thank you for watching 😀
RIP, Steve Albini
Rest In Peace
Dude you totally nailed the intro to Teen Spirit 🤯 awesome playing and great content as always, love your channel bro!!
Awesome work, I never get tired of hearing these riffs
Excellent video as usual. That's awesome you included Endless, Nameless.
love the new paint job On your compstang it looks so
good
Damn man this is freaking awesome, I know that is quite impossible to recreate 100% the Nevermind tones, but you with just one amp, pedals and that mustang (also one of my dreams), made a perfect job, it's what I've always dreamed about, I tried your configuration with amplitube and my regular stratocaster and it sounds fantastic, thank you, as always, your work is amazing ❤
Sounds perfect bro, awesome job as always
WOW you nailed the sound of the intro in SLTS !!
so sick, that shade of blue is beautiful
Sounds great dude!
I Love these tones! Captures the spirit of each song but less "slick" as kurt described the album's mixing
YAYYY NEW UPLOAD!!! i know its gonna be a good day when you upload!! :)))
That really means a lot thank you! New video every Friday 🥳
you’re welcome!!! im marking my calendar lol
So similar sound! I was amazed how you played Endless nameless, dude)
Great job and amazing tone! Thanks
Hi! I really love this tone recreations. I really love the new look of your comp-stang! Also i really love your band ithomiid.
🥹 can’t tell you how much it means to me that you took the time to check out my music. Thank you so much!!
These tones are awesome!!!!!!! it looks so much better! i really like headstock remake :)
Great video! Wearing a flannel is the cherry on top.
I recently moved from my childhood home were I grew up listening to Nirvana while taking walks to clear my head after full hard days. Eventually I started watching youtube videos on my favorite band and came across your videos recreating Nirvana live tones, guitars ect. It serously inspired me to pick up an old silvertone I inherited from my grandmother, the thing hadn't had it's strings changed since the 70's and sounded exactly like the stella harmony Kurt played. I've been playing guitar for two years now and still rock Nirvana as my number 1 most listened to band. I moved about 1 1/2 years ago and every time I turn one of your videos on it reminds me of the best days of my life, getting into music, talking long walks in my quiet neighborhood listening to Aneursym, In Utero, Nevermind, Bleach and all the above. Truly your channel means lots to me, honestly it's a gateway into my childhood and early teen years as well a memory of my old home and family, thanks for putting out so many amazing video's man, you're truly an inspiration
Breed was really in that ballpark man.
Come As You Are sounded excellent the way you set it up too
Absolutely killer as always, man, would love to see something like this on Bleach or In Utero if you haven't gotten around to it yet
very informative, thanks, great playing too
superb. way to go man.
ive always played a humbucker strat but ive always wanted a mustang, they look so cozy to play. one in candy apple red
LOVE THE GUITAR ,LOOKS GOOD 🎉🎉❤❤
Great recreation! And by the way, do In Utero riffs on Nevermind tone!
LUv ur vids. Cant afford all this fancy gear(especially being left handed) so your video are really special to me❤
Thanks for watching!
I cant wait till you reach 60k subs. Keep it going. You should also do this with in utero
Thank you so much, and that's a good idea I'll see if I can do something similar for In Utero!
@@NirvanaGuitars yeah in utero is my favourite album of all time
Can you post a wiring guide or video for the mods on your mustang as I would love to add these mods to my personal strat that also features hot rails in tribute to Kurt’s comp stain and vma strat
Cool video 👍🤟🏼🎸
the 2 pickups together on this mustang sound better to me than 2 & 4 strat positions. nice.
Sooo good👏

Love the compstang💙💙
Love this video thank you
I’ve never seen Big muff for breed, sounds great though
Or drain you lol
@@THE-CRT yeah drain you was the Ds-1, I was confused lol
ive always thought caya was the mustang, and this video confirmed it in my mind
Your videos are very good
Thank you so much 😀
Big muff sounds great.
great tones! you need a bass friend to fill out the low end :)
Can you make a video on how to play the songs like Kurt did?
ITS FINALY HEREEEEEEEEEE
7:53 -
I hear drums in my head
Best cicer of teens soirit ive ever heard on you tube! We done
great video. which strings did you use? Would be cool if you did the same thing with the DS-2 instead of the DS-1.
Mannn, Loving that new colors on the body and the stripe!, can you share which are?
Hey @NirvanaGuitars awesome video! I was just wondering where you got that fender decal for the headstock? As far as I'm aware, only left-handed MIJ fenders models head stocks like that.
Love the tones bro! I just have 1 request and a question…
1. Pls do a cover and tone vid for drain you
2. Does the both pickups out of phase function work?
Amazing 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Great video as always. Off topic, but im trying to decide between an ET270 or hi-flier, any recommendations on which is better?
Great video as always very well made video and covers. I have a question abt the pickups could you share with us where we can find the electrical schematics for the hot rails? im trying to do the same mods and I can't find it anywhere so I can make it split coil
Man, i want that guitar! 😮👍🏼🔥
Great video! I was thinking of buying a guitar specifically for this build. Is the Vintera II 70's Competition Mustang good for this?
Amazing as always, and i have a question, do you know did kurt use his sansamp or his ds2 for the 01/23/93 Hollywood Rock Festival show??
Hey I’m a big fan of your channel I have a question about the unplugged guitar how do you get that good clean tone?
Nice!
Is it the Bridge OR Neck Facing Coil you have ON @ the HotRails?
BTW, IF you don't use the tone control then a good idea would be to replace it with a four way rotary switch that gives you the FOUR pick up tones like the four-way mod Tele switch ...IMHO
This is awesome!! Need more compstang content.
Could you please do cow palace 1993😉
Lots more comp stang content in the works 😉 Still dialing in Cow Palace 93
Nice can’t wait!!
Great video 🤘🏻Does anyone know exactly what songs Kurt used the competition Mustang on ?
I thought that he used JB pickups on bridge after nevermind.
Thease pickups that you use are specialy for mustang or couldnit be for strat also?
did you placed the chorus BEFORE the distortion?
the order of the stomp box chain would differ I think..
lemme know..
Is breed using the big muff, I’ve had more luck using my hot rail Strat and ds1 when layered together
This is my favourite album from Nirvana, maybe off all time. Can you recreate You Know You're Right tone next plz?
Really nice video and tones as always!
As some other users here, I would love to see the wiring scheme to your mustang for the single coil split on the hot rails and maintaining the 'out of phase' switch to the neck pickup. If it's not possible for you to do it, could anyone please help us with this?
Your mustang looks so real it's weird! 😀
Can you post the wiring guide for the new mods
Big muff has russian label near button, means Overdrive. Where you bought it? 😮
on my cheap guitar days i used to have a 10 watt yamaha amp and a yamaha pacifica 012, some months later i got a boss gt-1 and i liked playing nirvana with that gear, i discovered that the yamaha pacifica 012 has a humbucker that sounds a LOT like the studio version, if you could experiment with that it would be great!
need a history vid on the comp stang
thats a really good paintjob i must say, it looks beautiful now that the old sketchy paint is off, i feel like the tones were way too trebley. other than that you did get really close! thanks for your videos, white strat eater man out.
sounds fuckin dope dude
Thank you so much!
So cool
Thanks for Sharing 🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶✌️
For come as you are, did u tune every string a full step down except the high e string???
Rest in peace steve albini 🙏🕊
What strings do you have on that mustang I got strings for mine but they sound awful
PLEASE let me know how to make my mustang bridge position switch to do that
how do you get that sound on the 10th when going from the 11 to the 10th?
Well this video will help for a formal im going to be playing at.
Good luck at your performance!!
Sure, anybody could have a good sound with the right guitar and right pedals… but for it to sound ultimately good takes lots of skill, and you got it.
you're the boss
What color is the guitar because I wanna get mine painted like yours
We need in utero with this guitar!
what paint did you use? I want replicate that guitar pls
Only a few seconds into the video but i notice you have the bridge cover on your ET-270, Any reason why? givin that kurt was never seen with his on, and possibly didnt even have one.
My guess is that he has is on simply because his came with it while Kurt’s didn’t.
Please make a video in how to lock a mustang tremolo
I love it
