Kurt Cobain - Dumb Kaos Radio (Guitar Cover)

[@Tomnedreb]

My favorite version of Dumb from Kaos FM 1990. “I’ve met a lot of dumb people,” Cobain told Melody Maker in 1993. “They have a shitty job, they may be totally lonely, they don’t have a girlfriend, they don’t have much of a social life, and yet, for some reason, they’re happy.” Coming from a guy who seemed to have everything and yet wasn’t happy himself, you can understand his fascination. Though not officially recorded until In Utero, “Dumb” was performed as early as 1990 - evidence that Cobain was ruminative long before it seemed like he had much to ruminate on. Tuning: Detune guitar a quarter of a step up Equipment used: 1967 Stella Harmony Lyrics: (Kurt: It's a rip off. Calvin Johnson: Only steal from the best) I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone But I have a light The day is done But I'm having fun I think I'm dumb Maybe just happy Think I'm just happy [x3] My heart is broke But I have some glue Help me inhale And mend it with you We'll float around And hang out on clouds Then we'll come down And have a hangover ... Have a hangover [x3] See a sun Can't go on Write it down Wear a frown She has said Have been hit Wouldn't wanna Beat me up I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone But I have a light The day is done But I'm having fun I think I'm dumb Maybe just happy Think I'm just happy [x4] I think I'm dumb [x12]

Without a doubt my favorite version of Dumb. Didn’t think there would be a cover of this on YT, but then I remembered about you lol. Amazingly done, bravo.

[@Majorfracturefilms666]

Nice job!, love how you have the stella exactly like kurt did, just 5 strings on it.

[@ChromeKnives]

Whoa I've never heard this version of "dumb" before

[@Tomnedreb]

It's my favorite for sure.

[@BlakePlayss]

thank you for being my favourite nirvana / kurt coverer throughout the years

[@bofadeez12]

The song will be my therapy for my strep throat. Thanks for the great music, Tom.

[@someguy5607]

90' might be my favorite year for Nirvana, some of Chad and Dave's best performances with Dale and Dan mixed in, and plenty of spotlight on Bleach with hints of things to come in concerts like Off Ramp. Masterful cover!

[@carloshenrique7794]

Kurt tinha a habilidade de criar coisas simples e belas! Excelente cover, Tom!

[@winterfellsnow1569]

Best version of dumb. I was looking for so long to have the chords of this version ; thanks for sharing you're talent man

[@golgoth8738]

good good good thank you !

[@bubbasawyerr]

Great cover!

[@KaykyStiliano]

Love this version 'cause is simple(without cello) and he adds the humming parts, that's amazing. Ty so much Tom and you could do these: Love Buzz (Live version), Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip and Here She Comes Now (eletric version) and u can try to do the Jam Called "Horrified"(For bootleggers) from 11/25/91 session.

[@Tomnedreb]

Love Buzz live is done, Horrified I know all parts, so basically just to record, the same goes for Here she comes now. Gallons is one I have to lean.. I know the main riff, but those improv solos..

[@KaykyStiliano]

​@@TomnedrebI inadvertently put love buzz sorry. ok ty

[@knight_of_the_wind]

Amazing

[@aung1406]

Very neat bro. It's like a clear version of the original

Where did you get the Stella? Its beautiful

[@jackver2006]

This isn’t Dumb, This is Dumb from Nirvana with the riff from Teen Spirit E Flat Tuning Version.

[@RamenBoi]

wondering whcan you give the 3 chords for the think im just happy part with the slide up

[@EddieS31]

You need to make tutorials

[@jackver2006]

Does anyone think that in the beginning of the song it sounds like Teen Spirit E Flat version even though it is in regular tuning.

[@ericgamplayer9613]

Nice upgrade from the original cover, can you play opinion on the Stella?

[@valentindelvalle3234]

Buen video! cuales serian los acordes?

[@birberking6999]

I'm an evergreen student and kaos may very shut down soon due to budget reasons. Donate to keep the cultural legacy it's had since cobain graced it and onwards!

is there a tutorial on this song?

[@jeanpierre8248]

This is so awesome man, I loved it❤ can you provide the chords and tunning?

[@Tomnedreb]

Tuning in the description, chords verse e5, a5, g5, c5, chorus e5,gsus

[@Heyyce]

Nice cover and all, but can you do polly or dumb with 12 strings? It might sound interesting

[@arthurfleck8857]

Hey man, what guitar are you playing? The sound is pretty awesome, is very similar to the one that Cobain used on his songs.

[@Tomnedreb]

Hey! I put all the gear in the description, but it's a stella harmony same model as Kurt had.

[@weaksidejahn]

Hey mate, what do you recommend for a Kurt Cobain guitar tone on a stratocaster? I used 52-10 Ernie Ball Heavy Top Skinny Bottom but it sounded so bass to me, on the online it says Cobain used 52-10, what do you think?

[@Tomnedreb]

I think both will sound super.

[@Martycs24]

Mmmm i think that i alredy see this cover before here in your Chanel...what happend?

[@Tomnedreb]

It's a upgrade.

chords?

[@coldbanana4785]

Tom, do you hear suicide story about Kurt and train. He sat on the rails and wait for the train. Sometimes I think "negative creep" was experience of that stuff. The beginning is real similary of a train sound.

[@Tomnedreb]

That story is said to be not true.

Hi. What about to play without the backing music? I really would like to hear you playing without that noise.

Well, that's ok, but for me it's strange without at least vocals, and I don't sing..

What brand/kind of acoustic guitar is that?

great guitar work..lots of soul in there. I just learned the intro from Scentless Apprentice from your video. I made a in utero intros video with acoustic guitar today..if you a bored you can check it out an tell me what you think..woud appreciate it cause you are the Nirvana man :)

Buy an old Stella harmony, put nylon strings on it, jam.

[@shewleyparvin2837]

Into is basically teen spirt but a semitone lower

[@prefix253]

When u say "detune the guitar a quarter of a step up", does that mean that the song is basically slightly sharper than standard tuning? A quarter of a step up from standard?

[@Tomnedreb]

Indeed

Hi tom, what the notes on strings in this tune

[@brianmendez3349]

What is the strumming pattern?

[@alexdamoc5551]

Sorry for being so late, but is there any chance you'd be willing to tell us the chords you're using to play the song? I've had a look online, but nothing looks particularly convincing to me.

[@prefix253]

He has replied to some comments saying that the chords are Verse: E5, A5, G5, C5 - Chorus: E5, G, then slide to 7th fret of low E string at end of chorus. I'm pretty sure the bridge is the same as the album version.
