Nirvana - Old Age (Guitar Cover)

- "Old Age" made its first public appearance in 1993 as the B-side to Hole's "Beautiful Son" single and re-appeared on the "Violet" single two years later -- credited to Courtney Love as its sole author. But the song was persistently rumored to have Cobain's hand in it somewhere. "That's a Nirvana song. Kurt wrote that song," Novoselic told The Stranger in 1998, and indeed, With the Lights Out included Nirvana's Nevermind-era recording of the song (albeit with almost entirely different words). Still, their version is half-formed -- it's the only known original song from that era that the band never played live, and Kurt seemed uncertain of the lyrics he was mumbling.
Tuning: Standard
Equipment used: Fender Jag-Stang and Fender Mustang IV amp.
Lyrics: One more day to complete my service
One more high to decay my nervous
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
One more day to complete my service
One more time here to fade my servant
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
Over
She seen through me and mine
And I know a later time
We could make it with you
We're the same
Old age (x4)
One more day to complain, my servant
One more doubt here to find a servant
Wondering how I'm gonna find
It's over
Wondering how I'm here date my cover
One more doubt here to save my never
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
She seemed true, me and mine
And I know a later time
We and we're you to you
Leave the soul
Old age (x4)
Just you need and read you free
Hmmm
And knew
You read
You flew
Ooo
Hmmm
One more day to complete my circuit
One more high here to find my nervous
Someday I'm gonna find a way
It's over
One more doubt here to claim my supper
I can have anything you wanted
Wondering how I'm gonna find a way
It's over
He seemed to read minds
And I know we're out of time
Breathe away here with you
Dream the same on the dew
Breathe the same on her
Breathe to moan on a man
Breathe and shame on you
He's late
Old age (x7)

Can't believe this song almost got picked for the unplugged concert would of been so cool if it did
+Nathanjames1220 Yeah, for sure.
oh, i didnt know about that, what a shame
Nathanjames1220 but its not unplugged
What is your source for the idea that they almost played Old Age at MTV Unplugged in '93?
I didn't know that I wish they would have
i like the voice the kurt in this song...its so great and pure....
True
One of many underrated song from Kurt.. Hope you like my take on it.
- Tom
Hey can you do a guitar gear video, show us your guitars
I actually built a new living room all by myself:)

Tomnedreb Are you using just a tad bit of distortion?
In put the gain at one o clock on my amp

I like the demo that goes along with two other tracks. I think the lyrics were amazing and he should have kept them
what about the boombox rehearsals version? is it not considered a "live version"?
Nice. One of my favorite songs to play/sing. Nirvana changed my life more than basically anything else in the world. Opened my ears to real heartfelt rock music at the age of 12. Been playing guitar ever since - I’m 28 now.
Same here, but I was 17. Truly changed my life.
Beena. Nirvana fan since 2014 and I just now decided to take the time to learn this on the guitar with ur vid. What the hell took me so long??? This is such a good song idk how or why I never thought to learn it
love this song.. both kurt's and courtney's versions.
Fuck courtney
@@furythruster4794 lol came here to say it
@@puhddles3981 she’s a horrible person
@@furythruster4794DUDE IKRRRRR
That would good in MTV Unplugged.
One of my favourite Nirvana songs.
Thank you for playing this Nirvana song. You helped me know how to put the chords together. I am very grateful. Without your video it would be harder to play this song. You enable Life to be better for everyone. John.
one of my fav songs. so much talent he still had to give. would've been a great solo artist later in life.
your videos are really helpfull when it comes to finding out strumming patterns, THANKS
One of my favorite songs, but Everytime I listen to it I feel really sad. Amazing cover.
You gotta love that major/minor ambiguity... Great song and great cover
this song catchy but deep in same time.. but so sad they didnt finish it and release clear version..
Definitely one of my favourites
Great cover dude! And super Jag-stang
I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks Tom.
Sat on youtube, noticed your cover in subscribes, took a guitar and played it with you) thanks for inspiration, keep rocking
As a fellow Jag-stang owner (1997), i salute you, and thumbs up.
Great job my friend.
Nice cover Tom! Good to see you cover this song once again ;)
Nice cover
Didn't watch the tabs or anything but it looks your playing like 5 chords? So nice how beautiful simple things can sound like
Thanx, deep respect
Good work man! I really like this song
Awesome cover. The jagstang nails that old age tone
shredded it
I've been listening to a lot of Nirvana lately have been using your covers to learn many Nirvana songs! Thanks for all the videos.. Hopefully ill get to posting some stuff soon
I am definitely pressing the like button right now!
I luv this song u just can't beat nirvana, in my opinion best band in the early 90's lol
What a great performance ! Love this song. I hope to have such a level one day.
Really love this song. Awesome cover too ✌🏼✌🏼
didn't know this song and it is a good song covered by a good guitarist ;)
Cheers from France !
Top!! and amazing guitar
Cool.
I'm in love with your channel man, you have AMAZING content ! Nirvana and Kurt's work is my favourite, and your covers are now my favourite !
you make my favorite song sound like a piece of cake holy fuck
Awesome Tom... Play "Endless Namelless" plis :)
beatifull song!!!
great job! i play it in different cords but sounds the same regardless! great job!!
Woah! Very beautiful jagstang!
Amazing! Man, you’re so gooood.
SOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best piece of music I've heard off Nirvana
I love your jagstang I hope to get one soon
cool. you is my idol
you always achieve 'that' sound.. great job as usual mate :)
Thanks, Myles :)
Awesome job!
great job old man
Could you do love buzz?
good old man
Very cool
I actually feel like this song was recorded on D - Tune / Full Step Down.
Verse Chorus Verse (which has similar sound), Lithium, Drain You and Come As You Are were recorded in that tuning, so it could be possible that Old Age was recorded between those recordings
soo good! lml
sick!
Great song. Its has the same chord structure as all of his songs
Got my aaaaaaayamp
Wow❤ emotion..
thats my favorite Fender
so nice to play....
where'd you get your jag-stang?
can you link or send the oridginal version of it tx nice cover
Es que tocas prácticamente igual a cobain xd me encanta
You have right guitar for the song
If you could work out how to position the camera properly to see the chords that’d be great. I would listen to this song and Thought when they played this one live like everyone would love it but never had heard it before. Sad they never played it live. Kurt might have played guitar for Courtney’s Verizon of old age but he definitely did some vocals on it, I’m pretty sure it was just before his death. It’s in one of the Kurt Cobain books. Have a suss of with the lights out box set for heaps of cool covers and funky classic kurt cobain songs. Some of them are even live too it’s sick
Job well done :)
LOVE IT!!!!!
Finalemte tou conseguindo ouvir essa versao de old age .parabens por postar esse video e prq ne celular e tablete o youtube bloqueia maioria dos vieos
The reason this wasn’t released is probably because it sounds so similar to Vietnamese Baby by the New York Dolls. Have a listen to it and see what you guys think
Can't say I agree about that comparison. Kurt was not that happy with the lyrics, is my take on why he did not use the song and gave it to Courtney.
neat
Another great cover Tom! Question, is horrified something you plan to cover?
+Deputy Weld Yes, it actually is, but never tried to play it, so have to learn the whole thing first..
Hello, beautiful video! In this song are you using drive? And if so, how did you equalize? Are you using Chorus? And if so, how did it equalize? Thank you.
Isn’t this just him going back and forth on the E chord? E minor to E?
can you make a tutorial?
shuxes wavves
shuxes This is a tutorial if you want it! Just look his hands and try to work it out by yourself!
Peace from Italy :)
alessandro rossi Doesn't seem to be a hard song:)
...which he will never see :'(
How much did you pay for the Jag Stang? I'm gonna have a 1 month job this summer and maybe I can buy one with the money earned :) Great cover!
+Hexagon Oh, I believe i payed around 500 euros for it, but obviously had to spend about 3 more to get new pick-ups etc..
+Tomnedreb why did you have to change them?
+Hexagon The stock pick-ups are shit.
Cool man! How many guitars do you have..?
+Brock20s Only four, sure would like a mustang too.
+Tomnedreb what's your favourite guitar?
Skip. AD The Jaguar, no doubt.
+Tomnedreb me to really like it
Have you tried out doing recording through a computer or something to pick up higher quality recordings? I've tried it a few times but never really done anything with the recordings
+Lissimore No, I just plug and play for me. I've never even edited anything on any of my videos so far, and quite frankly as long as I'm not making money out of this, why would I bother spending a lot of time doing that..
+Tomnedreb good point, anyway. Once again nice playing, nice guitars I wish I could have a jagstang
It can be your negative? also I want to try)
hi tom! try "old age" part with E major instead of Em or E5, i think it suits better (maybe you already have but i wanted to give it a try).
Kurt uses a really interesting melody that kinda uses Em and e major so the best way and the way i think kurt played it is just play an e minor but mute the g string so it’s neither major or minor and the rest of the chord is filled in with the vocal melody
Очень круто. Я давно не слышал звука фендера. Спасибо. И звук тот же. 👍 . жаль исполняет не Кобейн.
Hello, how did you equalized the bass, middle, treble and lead drive?
Thank you.
Bass 11 o'clock, midle full and treble one o'clock
Thank you, it was very good! I read that Kurt used the Gain (Lead Drive - Mesa Boogie) at number 2. When you use distortion, do you lower that Gain? Because at number 6, does it strange sound, or do you use a Noise Gate?
Tomnedreb thank you so much i have been looking for this for years
learn to play areo zeppelin +tomnedred
This is my fav song currently. Lol for awhile now. I go through phases where I am just hooked on a certain album or song by cobain. And I love putting my acoustic in D and playing this.
I know you heard the 20 some leaks and I commented on the rare nirvana with you but did you hear the lyrics are much better and more clear on the leaked one? Is it the same quality or better on the cd? I don't have the deluxe version of the new cd. Grrrrrrrr
+Daniel Malone I think it's just mixed with higher level on the vocal track, so the vocals obviously is easier to hear. I would say it's the same quality on the cd, just different mixes.
Cool yea I was shocked lol. It's funny cuz I've been trying to sing recently and this being my fav song it's hard to do a cover with no lyrics haha
Daniel Malone Hehe, yeah I guess it is.
Kurt never should have let courtney get her slimy hands on it. Great cover though
Awesome Vids! What would you recommend for a Nirvana Bleach sound, Kurt Cobain jag, or jag stand with JB pickup?
+Louis Dale In general I tend to use the Jag-Stang for Nevermind and The Jaguar for In Utero and Bleach.
my brother has that exact same guitar
What guitar is this?? I wanna buy one..
It's a Jagstang, designed by Kurt in collaboration with Fender (sorry for the english xD)
g'day mate, are you going do any more Facial Matter stuff
+ShaneyBot Don't have any concrete plans to do any of those songs soon, but you never know.
Tomnedreb another thing, im trying to sing 'grungy' and at the moment all im doing is screaming and cracking my voice in between words? any tips?
+ShaneyBot Unfortunately, I reallyy don't have a singing voice, so I never really got into how to sing or different techniques...
kurt's creativity is undeniable. this one is just another great nirvana song, i prefer the acoustic version tho, somethin about the lyrics... they sound more... more... idk
Hi Tom, may i suggest Mexican Seafood or Aero Zeppelin for your next vid.
+C ourage Mexican I alrady did;)
Tomnedreb
oh, awsum then, gonna learn it. i love to sing the chorus on that one. thnx Tom!
I've been saying since the with the lights out box set that we would get more music from cobain and I have been right thus far. I know that there can't be much more especially since the bath tub incident where it flooded and he lost tapes and guitars and journals but I've been saying it since montage of heck came out and I'm calling it right now
We will have a new Cobain CD put out by the estate or someone in the camp for this summer (2016) aka the 25 year anniversary that nevermind came out (and it's still better than albums now days) :)
+Daniel Malone Wouldn't surprise me...
Fingers crossed so you can teach us the new stuff lol
out of jaguar, mustang and jagstang what is ur favorite
Have to say the jaguar
is this song in standard tuning or eflat?
Check the description
Where abouts its your fender jag-stang made/crafted?
It's crafted in Japan.
Loved the music.Just have a question: Where you play the backing track?
+verm48 It's the cd and I play it on my stereo.
+Tomnedreb thanks for the information!Keep post videos,I loved them!
Hi tom ! i'll go back to France this year and i'll have to buy new AMP, would you buy again your mustang IV ? :P
Yeah, it's a good value amp. Lot's of possibilities and quite nice sound.
thx ! do you know if he'll take my DS1X better than the distortion from the AMP ? i've try it this week and i don't really like the disto from this AMP but hi really like every clean :P i'll retry it today, can you tell me which AMP you have ?
You should try some tutorials you seem like a really good guitar player who'd be good at that
is your video got copyright???
Chorda in order please?
