Nirvana - In Utero: The Riffs
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 06. 2024
- Here is a guitar-only play through of the main riffs from Nirvana's 1993 album, 'In Utero'. I didn't focus too much on trying to get the exact sounds, and used only a Yamaha Pacifica and a basic distortion sound from a Boss Katana amp throughout. One of the interesting things about In Utero, which I really like, is how much looser it is than Nevermind in terms of tempo and some of the playing, which gives it more freedom.

frances farmer is easily the most underrated song
I agree it’s my favourite one
ITS MY FAVEEE
One of their best IMO, and so much fun to plat
Mexican seafood better
There’s a great mini doc here on CZcams about what it’s about to. Makes the song that much better
I love the chords used in serve the servants. It's also a really fun one to sing.
Yep, I love the 'jangleyness' of the chords.. catchy song.. underrated IMO
Yeah, its a little bluesy too
@@euusowindows The dominant 7th chords in the main riff really add to that feeling.
my all time favorite guitar riff. and for it to be the first and insanely fun track on in utero is so great
Serve the servants is one of the most underrated songs in their catalogue
Lol, I love the 'underrated' comments 😂
There’s no underrated Nirvana songs

@@LulJayy702 ok you got me there, but serve the servants is definitely not underrated
@@LulJayy702 d-7 is a cover
Scentless Apprentice’s drumming and guitar riffs show how well Kurt and Dave can write together.
Dave wrote both the drum beat and riff. So it’s Dave’s writing
@@saulgoodman6431 oh wow
@@saulgoodman6431 oh damn I didn’t know that, I can definitely hear the hardcore punk influence there
Some of the greatest riffs ever are on this album. Very nice playing and great tone
Thank you!
At first is so weird and challenging listening to in Utero but when you keep listening to it you can feel it and tell that is as good as their previous albums
It’s better
For me it’s their best record, it has the heaviness and punk stuff, but also the more melodic stuff, it’s such a great album
@@guywholovesmusic4611 I agree.
In utero is their strongest album by bar. Bleach is a close second.
In Utero is probably the best grunge album ever imo, if not atleast it's my favorite.
Also... THAT TONE HOLY SHIT
@@billcelery6769 "Grunge" isn't a defined genre, it's just a catch-all term used for a lot of Seattle bands from the late 80s - early 90s. Notice how Soundgarden and Alice in Chains are both considered grunge but don't sound very alike. Nirvana was a grunge band and a punk band, these things aren't mutually exclusive.
@@r.m.solympic6857 I'm sorry they scrapped you "Old reliable". You were a mighty ship. Your sisters are still here but they're not...doing too good.
@@billcelery6769 ok bud
@@r.m.solympic6857 alice in chains more metal in my oppinion
@@PsychedelicMakai i agree, i've always thought of aic as more of a metal band.
Very ape is criminally underrated
For real
Inspired by argentinian band los brujos - kanishka
@@DylanAranda damn! good to know
If you heard some of these riffs for the first time you'd think Nirvana was a metal band.
Seriously. How is the "Milk It" riff not metal?
I think Bleach was as sludge metal as it gets!
@@jaschul Doesn't really sound metal to me. More like punk in a way.
Great riffs for sure but pretty far from metal isnt it?
@@Barbro247 Scentless Apprentice also sounds like it could be a SOAD riff (at least, the way this guy makes it sound).
This video is just more evidence on how much you can do with a basic (in a good way) Kurt/Nirvana tone. I don't mean that in a bad way at all. I just mean that I've seen countless videos of people trying to nail Kurt's tone and you've done it with stock sounds from a Katana. I feel like any basic distorted sound will get you there and everything else is all feel and playing loose. Another great video bro!
instead of going out of your way to find kurts exact gear just get whats cheap and works (like a certain someone). my rig is a modded mustang, an old peavy amp i got for free, a samsamp clone and chorus from behringer. both pedals are like $30 and my tone is closer than 90% of the people who have what kurt used
@@SoggyBacco totally agree. I think its cringey when people try to get the exact gear anyway it's better to be inspired by a sound and make your own from that starting point then to just blatantly copy it
Honestly just buy a twin reverb and you’re set. That thing held a lot of the tone in it.
Tones are on right point perfect!!
One of the things that always gets me is how great the song writing and the guitar work on In Utero are. Kurt was great as far back as the demos for Bleach, but he was still getting better, and the band was really building into something beyond incredible. Those live performances with Pat in the band are just top notch.
And "You Know You're Right" really leaves us with a big "what if?"
Jesus this sounds exactly like the original guitar tracks. Would love to hear some of these as full complete tracks. we'll done !
Excellent video. Heart Shaped Box is just perfect. Thanks for the video dude.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
I’ve been waiting for this day to come like no other, I’m a diehard Nirvana fan and i’m just really glad for this. Best Nirvana album to me, the playing and tone is near perfect! Great video!
Thanks!
The tone is perfect! For a moment I thought I was listening to the CD.
I was going to say the same
glad you did "gallons of rubbing alcohol," one of my favorite nirvana songs despite just being a jam :D how are you liking the pacifica? been noticing it in all your vids as of late and have been thinking about picking one up for a while
It's good. I haven't had it long but I'm liking it. It stays in tune really well and feels nice to play
Mine too! I love that track
Gallons... The best Nirvana song. I love it.
Mustangs are cool but tuning stability is cooler. Pacificas are awesome. I have both. the mustang is great if i don't touch the trem, but it's just. too. tempting. arghhhh
The tone and the playing are so hecking precisely, nice video! best album ever made, I would love one of Green Day's Dookie
The riff on Radio Friendly Unit Shifter is sick af
prob my favorite song of utero or frances farmer
my favourite album of theirs and your tone is just insane!
it’s crazy how accurate you were with this
Heart-Shaped Box is still one of the most beautiful riffs ever written. And Serve the Servants really shows how much Kurt was influenced by The Beatles.
your riff videos have inspired me to learn so many songs man i gotta thank you for that
That's cool man. Glad I inspired you in some way.
One of my faves. Great work as always.
Amazing job! One of my favourite Nirvana albums
I was looking for this one since you did the other albums glad you Released it 🥰
Nice video. Great as always. I listen and practice this awesome album whenever I have time.
How'd you get that tone? It sounds bloody fantastic
I just used a basic 'dirty' clean tone for the quiet bits and distortion for the loud parts.
@Cheddar Shady probably should've checked that first lol
"Typical Furry" 🤮
@@megamuerte6934 explain how
@@bloxsy_ are you using any type of distortion box?
i love the way you got all his unique styles and accidents in there !
I’m a visual learner and you’ve taught me so many Riffs I watch your videos and it just inspires me to instantly pick up my guitar and learn
Thanks mate. I appreciate you watching and glad you got something out of it!
The tone also the playing is spot on.Nice work.
I was just listening to In Utero the other day thinking how well it holds up, it still sound vital and fresh (to my admittedly 90's guitar loving ears anyway) It's almost 29 years old, go back another 29 years and the Beatles were still in there early album pre-Rubber Soul stage!
Your Nirvana vids are the best. Great playing, thanks for uploading
Thank you!
I love the rough sound of the album, you matched that here 😎
so sick! great job as always
Loved that, as most of the comments below say, you tone was bang on again! 👌
Amazing album, All Apologies for me, such a lovely simple melody but clever and was a drop D song I learned very early on playing guitar. Made me realise dropping down isn’t always to make a song sound heavier 👍
Enjoyed that and looking forward to the next one 🎸🤘
Awesome as usual. Been with the channel since last June and haven’t stop checking in since.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
This is such a great video. You really nailed it
Dude, the tone is AMAZING! Heart Shaped Box 🎯
Ty for making this! While watching this I learned how to play a couple by watching you do it! Also this is amazing, it sounds just like Kurt playing :).
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
I couldn't help but sing along! Great video! 😊💜
So glad you included Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip (super long title lol), it's a song nobody really talks about or plays ever.
Yeah I love that one. I wish they had done more semi-improvised stuff like that.
absolutely nailed the tone man 👌👌
For years this album was my greatest influence, thank you
This is great stuff, I love it!
beautiful to watch and hear!
Thanks mate!
That tone!! Great work🙌🏼
Thanks!
love how you sometimes use gear on the cheaper side and still get killer tones man! absolutely inspiring
I have been waiting for you to do this 😌😇
i get happy every time you upload and i love nirvana thanks for doing what you do
also like the new guitar !
Thanks for watching!
just chilling and listening to this made my day
My favourite video on your channel. Love this guitar 🎸
Thank you! Yeah it's very reliable and stays in tune.
Awesome! This is well done as always.
Thanks mate
Beautiful guitar and playing. Congrats
Sounds so good man
I remember just listening and playing along to this album all the time in middle school when In Utero came out.
Your tone is amazing
Amazing tone man. Cool 🤘
This is some amazing content boy. 😀
Hell yeah, dude! Nice skills, nice guitar, nice album!
Radio friendly Unit shifrer, milk it, Francis farmer and sentless appertence are my favourite songs
You nailed the tone man
so good, dude!
Beautiful 🖤
Awesome job🤘
This is incredible.
damn the tone and the playing is exactly like i heard in the album, spot on! thnks for the memories and do keep up doing this bro!
So good bro!
Goddamit i love all apologies on second part with distortion and that legendary riff. everytime i have goosebumps when i hear this. Also i love All songs on In Utero, theyre so unique and sound fantastic
Milk it is lowkey the best song of their entire collection!
your heart-shaped box riff was literally incredible dude
My favorite Nirvana album. Their skills were on top on it.
Awesome job
great job,,that guitar sound is spot on!
Thanks!
Beautiful
Awesome Cover
One word...PERFECTION 🤘
Perfect tone, wow
Can’t wait for in utero 30th anniversary so I can make my own video and art piece for it 😌
Also bloxsy I think you singlehandedly got me into guitar, yeah maybe nirvana and smashing pumpkins had a lot to do with it, but it was your older videos that just fascinated me and drove me to play guitar. I just wanted to thank you for that ^^
Thats sounds interesting man, good luck with it! And glad you enjoyed the channel and thanks for the support!
@@bloxsy_ no problem dude, I look forward to the future of your channel!
Oh! Sounds so good. Nice video.
Thanks man.
That’s a nice guitar man good video 👍👍
Thank you very much!
Most underrated channel
that tone is incredible
🥺❤️ My favorite band of all times
Great playing!!
Thank you!
Your Cobain's chords are on spot!
That Heartshaped box tone is spot on
Noice! And some of those tones are really capturing the vibe for a random setting, Steve Albini will be very cross
God, his vocal melodies were just so good over these riffs and he was a beast for riffs.
Such a heeeeeavy album and not just guitar tones but lyrics too
Dude heart shaped box sounds spot on, nice job
Fricking sweet!🌹
Great video
My favorite Nirvana album!
omggg it´s amazinggg
holy shit i needed this
Nice tune
My lovely album of Nirvana
Tone is spot on. Killer video
Thanks mate!
All your tones and the crisp sound of the recording makes me think that this is an original instrumental! Amazing! As a hardcore Nirvana fan, I love this!!!
Did you have to tune in the middle of songs to play different ones at all?
Amazing that your tone is from a Katana! I use a Marshall DSL but I have a Katana as well. It's a great grunge amp!
