The official tabs on ultimate guitar seem to show a lot of the little details and differences in parts of the songs (all apologies has variety on each riff for example)

The way of Kurt to make chords is blow mind, he only use power chords which doesnt give a defined sense of tonallyty, making his music very interpretative, cause you feel it happy or you feel it sad it doesnt matter, is like a mirror of what you feel. Nice video by the way, greatings from Chile🇨🇱 🌶

The quiet/loud/Pixies things is so overstated. Usually, these days, it's tossed out as a way to diminish Nirvana. Kurt was always humble and had no ego about crediting other artists so he had no issue name-checking Pixies. Allow me to summarize- nirvana's music was more than quiet/loud. So was Pixies. Pixies didn't create quiet/loud, and it's an obvious and prevalent way to do verse/chorus, change dynamics, etc. Every artist has influences. PS- great video!

Why are you playing lithium and polly in drop d? The whole guitar is tuned down there. Plus i think you looked at those songs in the wrong way: they are iust a mixmatch of e and em chords, whole stuff tuned 1 tone down. Simple as that, as it should be.

*2:40* Pixies aren't *technically* a "punk band" (they're more of a "surf-rock" band in their first incarnation) but I'm sympathetic. I always feel Pixies were closer in spirit to the Sex Pistols than a lot of US punk bands

@@mrsherwood2599 imo theory is only interesting when you use it to explain what’s going on within a good song. I would say pick up an instrument, learn chords, and practice your favorite songs as well as improvisation. Then you’ll know if you’re good by whether or not you like what you play. Theory overcomplicates things, even knowing basic chords can put you in a box at times

Great video! Very interesting analysis on Kurt's compositions, and it landed very well with my recent thoughts on my own compositions, some of which I was considering if I leaned on power chords, for more liberty in the melody, or if I used more "conventional" chords. This thougth started on the necessity to reach out of a major scale, in the same vein of these examples.

You’re confusing the bridge with the chorus. The chorus isn’t yeah yeah yeah… this is the bridge The chorus is I like it, not gonna crack, etc

@ericrobertsmusic Ай бұрын

That's a different, but valid way to see it! To me the "Yeah" part feels like a chorus because it uses the same chords as the verse but brings the dynamic up. The "not gonna crack" part feels bridge-y because it goes somewhere different harmonically than the other parts. Thanks for watching!

Lots of uptight nerds in the comments. It literally doesn’t matter what tuning Kurt played in, you could even change the key, it still wouldn’t matter. It all comes down to the relationships between the notes. If this was a video about how Kurt played guitar, then sure, let’s get picky, but it’s about songwriting.

One of the best bands ever for borrowed chords, especially from parallel scales. There's usually a tonal center, chords from the parallel major and minor scales both point back to the same tonal center. Power chords on the I/i, IV/iv, and V/v further reinforce the tonal ambiguity. Its like a super scale with all the chords from the major and minor keys.
