It’s Kurt’s death anniversary of 30 years.

[@VidusBJ]

Yes most of us here probably know

[@thrillvilled111]

Man was genius with melodies. 🎶

[@spidermanfan.3161]

Hmmmmm 😔😔😔

[@Dj_355]

Man I wish I was alive when he was making music and even if it dosent make sense I miss him so much

[@masonatorgaming669]

Keep on rockin in the free world 🎸

[@scubasteve7439]

RIP Kurt and Layne

[@hcb_gaming2]

2 great legends who changed music forever

[@dylanguerrero3889]

from 8 guitars +1 bass to 13 +1 bass in just a year

[@kaedenceneedsLOVE]

Hey Eric! as a 15 year old nirvana and kurt fan and gear nerd, thank you, your channel literally always brightens my day and I must say I admire you and what you do to keep kurts legacy alive. Id do absolutely anything to be able to play some of these guitars haha or even just to have a chat with you about kurts gear. Rock on man

[@NirvanaGuitars]

Wow that truly means a lot! Can't thank you enough for the kind words and for watching 🥹 🙏

[@benji2k05]

i think the thing i love about Kurt is that he NEVER let money change him, and it's insane that even after the success of Nevermind and In Utero, he was still buying cheap/second-hand guitars and so i didn't feel like i needed to get expensive equipment to actually sound good.

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

Seemed he was more quantity than quality considering how many guitars he smashed

[@BlueOceanBelow]

I still remember the exact place on the exact street where I was on the ride home from school when my mom told me what happened. Thirty years and it's still fresh in memory. Thanks for all your videos and for spreading the gear knowledge!

[@NirvanaGuitars]

Thank you for the support and for watching!

[@paramount243]

[@kurt_cobain1987]

I’ve been waiting for this all day and it’s finally here. Rip Kurt

[@NirvanaGuitars]

Thank you for your patience!

[@Egg-yolk-man]

As a 15 year old that makes terrible financial decisions i would honestly jump at any chance i got to get a univox hiflier i made a deal with my father that i will get a job and he will pay half of any lising i find of one 😂😂😂😂

[@101Volts]

It might not be too bad of an idea now, if price for them goes up in the next 10 years. It already did since you were 1 - I was looking at them around that time, but I didn't want one, I wanted a guitar that they were based on. Their body style's a smaller copy of Mosrite Ventures Mark I models. I ended up with (more or less) A Ventures Mark V.

[@WILDSTYLE8449]

Thanks for re-igniting my love for nirvana and guitars!

[@user-te5nv1em4r]

I waited so long for this video, thank you!!

[@zxdistortion]

Wow thats insane gear, im looking forward to this

[@SikorsyUH-60]

This is awesome! thanks for preserving and documenting kurt's guitars and gear! :D

[@angelohoffmann]

Love your Channel and Kurt. Great work you are doing 🙏

[@GRiNDWiZARD187]

dude, thank you for sharing got me a lil choked up remembering certain songs with these guitars .

[@dylanmerkel9261]

Finally🎉🎉 I’ve been waiting for this video for so long

[@Garbageguitarist]

Your collection is amazing man love that skystang build can’t wait to see the comp stang RIP Kurt

[@musiccodeman]

My most anticipated video all month

[@matthewpaz1]

You should try doing a montage of heck covers, or guitar tone really love those demos

[@honeyfrost3355]

Im very much jealous of your guitar collection. That randall sounds pretty cool too. Love the videos and its always great to see an upload from you. Keep on rocking 🤘

[@Arandomperson667]

Cant wait to see the Hagstrom soon!

[@shughes749]

Thank you you introduced me to nirvana.

[@RubyRoks]

Absolutely stoked to see an up to date version of the video. The teaser for the Hagstrom blew my mind!!! Of the Kurt gear you currently have, i think my favorite bits are the ET270, Skystang replica, and Tone Master Twin.

[@scootinand]

I really love this channel and all the research you put into everything. It's great knowing that you have a passion for this and use your energy to share that with us. I'm a sponge for this kind of nerdy info, but I've never been good at digging around for it, so it's great to have someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and doing the dirty work. And seeing that wall of guitars never stops being cool as hell.

[@obioce]

Hey, Thankyou for this lovely post - as a 21 year old Nirvana and Kurt Cobain have always been a large part of my life and your videos help me massively in not only learning things, but being able to recreate different tones from different Nirvana eras. Your videos are hugely underrated! Rest in peace Kurt Cobain

[@damianrozowski5997]

Its my favorite type of video you post! Gj

[@NEVERMIND_JAG]

I really love when you do these kind of videos it inspires me a lot! And I’m really excited to see your pat smear hagstrom in action I’ve all ways been confused on the technique that he used of muting in blew live and loud. Your comparing has also inspired me to build one I’m just trying to figure out the paints but other wise it will go ptretty well. Great video can’t wait for next week.

[@1dean______2dean]

Awesome video! Kurt is my idol and my dream guitar is the blue and red fender mustang you have.

[@wullowtries3018]

This is gunna be good!

[@MaxtonBusa]

This video was awsome thank you

[@ScratchedDVDhelp]

nice white strats! no really, the work and effort you put in your guitars, gear and all of it is amazing and it surprises me that even then it doesn't stop growing! still waiting for that buddy holly strat breakdown...

[@noelwhite6650]

Between the Skystang, the Hi-Flier Phase IV, The ET 270 and the new Hagstrom you own basically every dream guitar of mine haha. Such a fantastic collection. I was extremely close to getting an ET 270 about a year and a half ago but someone else got to it seconds before me. Rest In Power Kurt.

[@interux]

Lets go new Nirvana Gear episode!!!

[@ceodelcringe938]

It's truly amazing seeing your gear collection, have you ever considered doing a "You Know You're Right" tone recreation video? Or doing covers of obscure home demos like "Do Re Mi"?

[@elvernicolas3748]

Fantastic video as always fellow Nirvana nerd 😎 Will look forward to countless other videos 🔥

[@NirvanaGuitars]

One Nirvana nerd to another says, thank you so much!!

[@wullowtries3018]

Amazing!

[@kkrsnn5632]

Really cool😎 I was browsing through some old magazines and saw Kurt had a Strat with Gibson style bridge?

[@acactusnamedjosh708]

I always get curious when you post, these videos always tend to interest me. The black eagle and signed magazine reminds me, my band's old bassist had their silvertone P Bass signed by Krist.

[@mavelaw]

Rest easy Kurt, thank you for everything ❤

[@colesanlo3127]

The only reason i dont call you a poser or just another collector is because you clearly care alot about the history of these instruments and the gear that created the sounds we know you and aaron rash are the best

[@matheoallain5187]

On the very same date, I will unbox my new (to me as it is in prestine condition 😉) Epiphone Et 270 ! Discovered it with your vids. Thanks !

[@GRUDGEDu]

Love the guitars Happy 30th Anniversary and RIP Kurt Cobain 🙏🙏

[@Silverfan97]

Rip Kurt the goat

[@aaron2-0-1-0]

I’ve been waiting soooooo long for this lol😂

[@nutwatee5310]

will you explore kurts telecasters? they have always been intriguing

[@Voidful_Molten]

Kurt even to this day stands as one of the most incredible musicians of all time, I'll always see him as an idol and love the music he's produced, if it weren't for him I would have never started playing guitar, and I respect him deeply for it. Fly high Kurt

[@thec.e.oofbasedindustries8013]

This made me realise how great Kurt's taste in guitars was

[@huckholbrook7138]

You make good stuff I’m also a Nirvana nerd

[@_Noahplayz]

Hi Eric! I love your videos! I was wanting to let you know that there is a fuzz pedal that could likely get the fuzz tones that you are looking for. It is the JHS Muffuletta. It has all of the iconic big muff circuits in it (Including the russian one), and I am sure that one of the circuits could be the right fuzz that kurt would have used. I know that from personal experience with the pedal, it can get very close to the lithium tone.

[@dennisv1358]

id like to see you do something on his blue over sunburst telecaster

[@thecooler68]

So Cool!

[@ibanezbassist26]

I like the black eagle bass. I am crafting a replica

[@ataikonotatsujinplayer2610]

I hope this guy makes a replica of Kurt’s blue telacaster😊

[@BunkyyBoyy]

Hey man love your videos if it’s ok me asking with ur mtv build where did u get the pick up case thing like the silver thing that makes it look really long ❤❤❤❤

[@Pey205]

Hi Eric! I’m not here to say much but. Thx for inspiring me to play guitar.

[@MuscleCarLover]

One day I will get one of those Jaguars, it'll probably be the only actual replica I'll get, so I want to get it exact, including pickguard, third strap button and in left handed form (sorry left handed players) I'm also warming up to the Jagstang, but I don't think I'd do a prototype replica, but rather do my own changes, likely a 3 way toggle switch like on the Jaguar to make switching between neck and bridge pickups easier

[@TotallyNotTony_]

Insane gear collection! So cool, I have a question for tone chasing, does having the modulation effects before the distortion make a difference or does the order not matter so much?

[@NirvanaTexas]

As a 12 year old Nirvana fan Kurts death makes me sad thank you for keeping his spirit alive ❤ when I found a channel that made me want to play guitar and play Kurt's music so I have to thank you and Kurt for that😊

[@Runkpocker]

Although guitars are very inaccessible where I live, I hope that one day I can have a room like yours! I wonder what other interesting stuff could be added to your collection. Courtney Carved Tele? Ferrington Mustang? Mosrite? Quad Reverb? Or hell maybe a Veleno lmao? Thank you for always bringing cool info for us nerds

[@Uninterested69420]

Super random but I'd love to see a video of how you mix your guitars in protools and how you get those sick tones nice and mixed 😭😭😭

[@tangerinesrock90038]

What a great video this was! … would you ever make a aluminum guitar like the one he used during In Utero sessions?

[@shanedingz]

I’ve always thought Earnie had installed a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge position of the Jag-Stang

[@Real_stygian]

Whilst nirvana was indeed a popular band. the real fans look deeper in the songs and feel like kurt was actually their friend. Even though im a young fan and wasn't even born when he died, his music and persona had managed to take my heart and changed me for the better. R.I.P KURT ---- Logan from australia

[@Eoghan_guitar11]

Brilliant video and collection!!! And are you ever going to build his blue/sunburst telecaster that he used from 1992 to early 1993??

[@NirvanaGuitars]

Yes, I've been meaning to build a Kurt tele for some time now!

[@tateconnelley]

​@@NirvanaGuitars Funnily enough, I read somewhere that, in an effort to wean Kurt from his Jag/Mustang image, Earnie fixed up a Telecaster for Kurt to play with. Maybe one of the last guitars he used besides his Univox for You Know You're Right.

[@JJisntHere.]

R.I.P Kurt

[@Georgeisjawa]

Craziest thing is that my birthday is year is 30 years after Kurt was found dead.

[@luucas1882]

nice video man! Start to record Bass amp settings!

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

So what you’re saying is, me buying the behringer super fuzz got me literal Kurt shit tone? Hell yeah

[@biruarif14]

nice

[@RickyPrickles]

Time to make Kurt’s sunburst Telecaster!

[@high_quality_stuff]

RIP Kurt fly high😢

[@rikkifknrobin]

In regards to the big muff debate, maybe you could get a jhs muffaletta and find the right setting that way? Since it has every model, that might be a good starting point for the lithium tone

[@MightyALX]

Could you make a video at some point where you compare Seymour Duncan Hot Rails - Competition Mustang and Seymour Duncan JB Jr - Roseland Mustang?

[@WeaponsRemorse]

You’re still missing a replica of his telecaster you should build one. I’m considering doing that myself actually

[@TBE_D_7]

30 years past Rip kurt

[@NotZawie]

Would be nice if kurt could see this 😢

[@CharlieGlidewell]

it would be cool to see a vid based on how much of a difference using a certain guitar makes on a tone. cause you use the univox for bleach but i feel like the jagstang or skystang would sound about the same. idk im kinda deaf

[@Rebelchemist]

Nirvana is my youth.

[@Frankothechamp]

Long live Kurt Cobain

[@alfiemcallister7517]

Oh it’s coming out on my birthday

[@benmannion4381]

Ha that's cool!

[@garethtravis1786]

@Nirvana_Guitars you can pick up Kurt's Aria Pro II herein South Africa quite easily ... just a matter of shipping 🤔

[@fazecrissy2282]

Yes 😁

[@rielwashere]

WOO YEA BABYYY

[@zalee252]

Wow😮

[@themoonisdusty]

Rip kurt, you will be missed😔

[@nihishere]

RIP Kurt.

[@BunkyyBoyy]

Hey man may I ask for ur darlmond pickups where did u get the mounting pad for them

[@paressehylton]

Vista venus would be cool

[@n0tchmc]

Do you recommend running chorus pedals before the distortion, or after for Nirvana tones?

[@silverp944]

Happy Birthday Kurt Cobain.

[@axel_npc5718]

He died this day 30 years ago ...R.I.P

[@milanterpstra8118]

😅😅😅

[@mrgoatguy7828]

Woah

[@masonatorgaming669]

What if Kurt Cobain played the Friends theme song

[@tomstone4877]

hey, in a previous video you had a rat distortion pedal, where is it now ?

[@dri4terfast]

wow watched this chanel grow with guitars ha ha

[@Nerodeadweight34234]

Hey Eric, i would like to know, where did you learn to play songs like Aero Zeppelin or Anorexorcist?

[@TheBeatlesAreTheBestOfAllTime]

I've had this question in my mind for a while now, but when you are learning songs for covers, tones, etc. Is there any specific method you follow in order to transcribe them? I've seen that your playing is always so accurate and the notes are more accurate that any other players. I've wanted to transcribe songs, but it's proven very difficult, especially for more distorted songs. If there are any tips, I would appreciate also!

[@NirvanaGuitars]

I used to use tab sites like UltimateGuitar when I first started playing but realized pretty quick that so many Nirvana tabs there are inaccurate. I always use live show footage as my main reference, watching how Kurt plays. If it's a song that has no video footage, I try my best to learn it by ear and guess how Kurt might've played it based off of his playing style. I don't physically write or transcribe any songs when I'm learning them, so I don't have much to offer for advice for that, sorry!

[@TheBeatlesAreTheBestOfAllTime]

@@NirvanaGuitars That works for me, thanks!

[@whgav946]

You should make a veleno guitar for in utero

[@ricardososa7534]

Hey i’ve had this question regarding your gear for so long! Are the speakers on your tonemaster amp the original speakers?

[@NirvanaGuitars]

Yes they are!

[@Ju-JitsuNovember]

❤WoW

[@Eclipse52776]

i Think this guy likes Nirvana

[@DavyDenko8778]

You forgot to mention that the jag-stang was the second guitar in some of the in utero live tour, like that time when he changed his skystang cuz he broke a string
