The Nirvana Nevermind acoustic guitar

Here's the acoustic guitar from Nirvana's Nevermind album. The Stella Harmony Cobain played is such a cool guitar! Oh, and I also compare some 1984 Celestion G12-T75 speakers 🤓

[@ngsunny4550]

No joke, the intros are top tier every time!! That ‘Seattle’ grunge feel is amazing

[@-jank-willson]

'neo-grunge' I think it's called. like grunge but even more dark, moody, heavy, and slow

[@thomassabarly6700]

Men, you are so underrated as a creator, this is crazy

[@Greenlightmike33]

Dude for real. Just came across this video and I’m like wtf?! This is crazy solid quality.

Dude you have to make the beginning into a full on song, I’ve had it in my head and I thought it was an actual song till I looked through my entire playlist and saw it wasn’t there, then I remembered😭

i wish i was a full song

same chords as in WASTE by kxllswxtch

[@SBanas]

The intro is absolutely amazing... The difference in tone of the speakers is just crazy! Edit: I like the fact you're not having a ton of views and or followers for now, cause you propably will read this comment. You're videos have jaw-droping quality to them, and you're gonna have 500k followers in no time. Thank you for your work, thank you for your dedication, and reminding me of Nirvana and Kurt.

[@ScratchdHelp]

yeah, your tone isnt really all in the guitar, its mostly in the cab, amp and skpeaker oh and also mic.

[@sxxith]

when he played something in the way, i got chills... Never heard anything more accurate then that!

[@untelmorveux]

each video is a cinematic experience and as a guitarist these videos have become some of my favorites.

[@Bullke]

Your openings gives me chills dude... what the hell!

[@jerelfish2809]

Im nearly positive this dude has the best intros to his videos ever bro

[@aegistechreviews7410]

I honestly liked the first speaker the most, it sounded the most clear

[@otakuholly8885]

Inagree, 1 sounded the most normal, 3 the wildest imo

[@ultimadum7785]

First speaker sounds like my ideal distortion tone tbh...

[@xxzackbudnerxx]

That intro song was too perfect man, is that a unreleased song of yours? The guitar just had that tone I’m chasing for!

[@justarando7916]

It’s a variation on Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana

[@thesleekgreek]

Who recorded it though?

[@phil_jonas]

wtf this video is soo good. I came for the acoustic and got the acoustic and also got a hella nice song with a fire lil music video and also learned about the speaker cabs! 100/10 Very beautiful cinematography too. And you even got the mesa boogie and the crest audio that Kurt used, damn 🔥 I just subbed

[@haydenmcginnis1432]

It’s been 5 months but I still rewatch this video like it’s brand new for that hella good intro. I love the drop tubing mixed with the quad reverb. It’s stunningly beautiful

[@mosesrys]

you managed to take everything i love about the montage of heck and put it into one intro, sick work dude

[@Kevuno]

The cinematography is out of this world. If I saw this in a movie, I would be screaming in the theather. Keep it going man, damn... I just bought a nice camera and I hope I can make videos of this quality one day

[@bubu2959]

I prefer the second speaker too. Sounds like it has a bit arena-effect, just like a real time Nirvana live performance.

[@revengeof1307]

2nd was album material. I loved the drive behind the 3rd for sure tho.

[@TheGuitarMassacre]

make a song out of the intro. i'll buy it.

[@MattMediaMatt]

Just watched so many intros of your videos, got goosebumps each time, love it. You motivate me to play my guitars.

[@apope06]

I love the authenticity of the tv in the background. It made it seem new age. What a badass guitar tone tune. Incredible+!

[@bruhbruh-dz4lm]

your videos are so excellent man

[@tamtenmateusz9475]

Wow, your quality of production and camera work is INSANE.

[@Aquariumecosystem]

First off, the quality on these videos is phenomenal! Also, I knew that most speakers differed somewhat due to how they are produced, same as guitars really, but Holy macro. Those are not even in the same realm. They might as well be different brands and style. That is really eye opening.

[@kenbajema]

This video is like a documentary, art project, concert, personal vlog and music video all in one. Great stuff. I saw Nirvana live on the nevermind tour in Seattle back in the day. Those were the days.

[@Phantomghost-hm9bw]

dude, full version of the intro? that shit is so good

[@CringeBitch]

My mans. Your videos are interesting, well structured, informative and I'm just excited to watch them. But man.. Your intros are just something else.. Probably like most others I've noticed your channel after The Butterfly Effect video, and I rarely ever comment on anything really but I just had to say thank you for these intros. Just incredible.

[@ChordYogaGuitar]

So hip - everything - and that acoustic sound, spot on. Thank you for the research :) I didn't know before which type of acoustic was used, same regarding the nylon strings. Funny that way, seems I wasn't too far off back when I started out initially, playing Polly (well, trying to) on a cheap acoustic from the 60s, including nylon strings. Now I know why people recognized the song without the vocals, stopped and commented. A familiar sound

[@amandamei7531]

I keep listening to that song in the beginning over and over again

[@FiestaRed]

I am so glad I found your channel a few months back. Every time one of your videos pop into my recommended its always something new and cool, thanks for all the videos :D

[@paperthin1780]

The other day I accidentally recreated the tone of polly, I just use an Alvarez rd - 26 with nickle wound electric strings (idk if guages matter but i was using 10 - 46) and started playing polly with a quarter and it actually sounded really close, of course, nothing beats the original guitar that it was recorded on though (Key word *** CLOSE, *** I just thought it was cool so I thought I'd share haha)

[@Darel13712]

I liked number 3 the best. It's very bright and you get to hear those upper strings too. It would probably be cool to layer that with 2 or 4.

[@niclas9881]

Think I've listened to the intro 20+ times by now. Love

[@groovefretboard]

Great work! Sounds super close to the tone. Wonder what strings he used? Maybe he kept stock 1’s. Also what pick did he use or was it his nails. Fine details of the tone.

[@inhabitantofgotoisland]

I've been binge wathcing your videos for a week now. They really reignited my love for Nirvana and the sound of "In Utero" in particular for what I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. When it comes to the comparison of the speakers, I really like the sound of the first one but the second one also has its own unique character. Honestly, the combination of both would probably blow my mind away...

[@greyworld13]

honestly my favorite youtube channel right now. love it

[@EchoApexFirstEcho]

IDK if anyone has already said this but You dial your amps in better then anyone else on KZbin playing Nirvana. Cheers!

[@mrNobody100]

a year late, but i think the wide difference in speaker tone between the same model could be from what they've experienced in their life- play time, play volume, etc etc... but i dont know, going down the speaker rabbit hole makes me go crazy....

[@jakebaker1051]

Bro that musical idea at the beginning is ridiculously good. I come back to this video bidaily to listen to it dawg.

[@prescriptionmedia]

i just want these intros to last forever. I don't even listen to music while I work anymore, I just play them over and over again.

[@apollo_gen]

Kurt also used the Stella on his home recordings!

[@jbaquinones]

Boy. You are right. Those speakers sound all different. My favorite is #3. I think It gets that visceral Kurt tone. Good job. Thanks for doing this.

[@KarAttack]

Man, seriously, I cried watching your videos, you need more expose, your'e awesome, im sure Kurt would be proud of this material.

[@smaudia6003]

This chanel is a gold mine with these intros !!!

[@demuthjesse]

Literally exactly the tone of "something In the way" and "polly". Fuckin amazing. The "vibe" u set with your "intro movies" is so awesome! U r a dood! For sure! Awesome stuff!

[@drewnorth3816]

On the topic of Kurt and acoustic guitars, would be fun to see a video on the tone of his d-18e for MTV Unplugged.

[@oceanix1929]

Your videos are so good I always have to watch them at least 3 times in a row!

[@gregrenoir3416]

The INTRO SONG is B E A U T I F U L. It would be awesome as a Movie Soundtrack too...... Congrats Aaron, keep creating your songs.

[@carrjond]

is the intro song on any streaming platorms that was heat

[@roxstar2016]

Bro I haven't cried for 2 years but you make me cry with one of your videos which you act like Kurt Cobain In a concert . Love you really much.

[@Phantomghost-hm9bw]

please make more music like the intro, it is so god damn good. I need more!

[@masters1ful]

Speaker 2 on that Marshall quad cab literally gave me chills. I. Love. Your. Channel.

[@craftandtailored]

Cut an album already man I want to listen to the intro over and over.... keep up the great work!

[@fabiofernandes2364]

That intro gave me chills

[@tinted_7475]

I was not expecting the quality that I just stumbled upon, your going to be big one day!

[@gregwolk5240]

Great video as usual, and that intro song was so good. I think I prefer speaker 2 as well, but liked them all for different reasons.

[@TheDyingPlant]

#3 was my fav, just something about it grabbed me the most

[@publicnature]

please man, recreate Rio's sound....Dive at Rio's guitar sound hunts me all the time!

[@21stcenturygildedage]

Hell yeah

[@cprbeats]

I love those intro bits to your videos!

[@codykelly1154]

Speaker 3 definitely appealed to me for sure.

[@Svorn]

Just an idea could you hook up those speakers to a perfect clean digital amplifier? If you drive a frequency sweep through all of those speaker and measure the spectra you could compare the responses very easily (REW room equalization wizard software). I love your intros ! Gives me a special mood everytime, also brilliant visuals.

[@_.mayarama._]

criminally underrated

[@AIexKilin]

Always great seeing a new video from you! Keep up the amazing work

[@odiumimbues]

wow that harmony's tone is absolutely album perfect.. it has that low end come in with such a drup.. i had to make that word up because i couldnt articulate it.

[@aegistechreviews7410]

Also don't worry too much about rushing tone videos, I love your cinematics and storytelling so honestly it doesn't even have to be a tone video 😭 I'd just watch you talk for 20 minutes

[@andrewtschuta2627]

I like speaker #1 the best, sounds the fullest to my ears.

[@AchillesWrath1]

I liked speakers 1 and 3. Oh and that Stella i don't think Kurt ever taped over the strings he just taped the bridge and later on Ernie glued it in place for him. He also changed out the tuners to some Martin ones. Kurt used to duct tape the tuners in place also. They said he used to use pliers to tune the guitar though i don't know how that worked if they were duct taped. Maybe some of the tuners were broken

[@benthecartoonist3518]

I hope 0:44 becomes a full song some day

[@Jenzrrr]

2 and 3 both soundend amazing

[@drizzly___]

this is awesome man! i loved speakers 2 and 4 the most i think, they both sounded amazing, as did the intro! i was wondering after you're done with nevermind, do you think you'll get to recreating the bleach guitar tone? that i would love to see

[@JackGoddard-px2rd]

Speaker 3 was my personal favourite

[@kastro99]

where can I found the full song from the beginning?

[@brianfurry9542]

Speaker 3 sounded really throaty. I really dig it. Love your channel. Thanks for sharing

[@TheDyingPlant]

The intros are always a movie.

[@codymcgrew4015]

That Stella/Harmony is INSANE!! Speaker #1, #2 and #4 are good, I agree #2 was best. #3 sounded broken 😬

[@revengeof1307]

Imo 3 had the best drive for distortion. Sounded very nevermind ish listen to sb audio from the 90s

[@leonbarreguitars4592]

The speaker 1 sound really good But you should record the 4 speakers at the same time to ear what it’s like Good job ! The difference between the speakers is crazy !

[@Bikezeit]

I love that intro ❤

[@just.for.the.downshifts]

Love the style of the vids. awesome

[@Krt.Cbn99]

I love your videos, especially the cinematic intros! What camera do you use?

[@jesseflores6904]

was the mic placed in the exact same spot over each speaker? Tones vary greatly from the center to the perimeter..

[@ericb4351]

Man, as an owner of a modest 6 early to mid 80s t75’s I know how wildly different they are! I know that goes for all speakers but my t75s are the biggest variance from my experience. Altho, I usually gravitate to one specific one for recordings, the cab overall sounds awesome in the room. As a blend it just seems to work and have this amazing tone that I can only get from that cab

[@biesnatesenterntainment5325]

can u link the site of the guitar?

[@andrewsmith1520]

I have a 60's "Old Kraftsman" parlor sized acoustic that has a similar sound to the Nevermind tracks as well. Probably made in the same factory. It was also an old USA catalog guitar. It was one that my grandpa bought used at a yard sale so us kids would leave his nice guitars alone when we were visiting. After he passed away I inherited it. I took the time to dress the frets and fret ends, adjust the height of the bridge and the action at the nut, and now it plays effortlessly, but still has the same nice (bad) sound. Mine has steel string on it though, and tuned down to D standard. I can't get along with nylons.

[@urbaninvicta9533]

love the music man, i gotchu with the bass riffs😁

Holy hell this channel needs like 3 mil subs PRONTO

[@stevenhurst9164]

Like how you are experimenting Aaron. #2 speaker for sure !

[@beatuplexus]

Cinematography is awesome. What camera are you using?

[@millennialanimal]

Always look forward to your videos!

[@miist3r716]

what song is it that you're playing while testing out the speakers?

[@caseylewis7101]

I want to know as well

[@ACDChemi]

This is like the best chanel if you love music and filmography. Everything is perfect and you are big inspiration for me. Btw the openig song is lit, should be full version + tabs (what tunning dou you have?)

[@haydenmcginnis1432]

It’s amazing right? I think in this one he’s in either drop B or A. The bassiness sounds very close too it. Try it with lighter string gauges like 9s tho

[@jakedibiase7404]

The first Celestion on the bottom right sounded best to me. Crazy that there was so much variation with them.

[@jonnathanmadrigal9378]

Speaker number 3 was my favorite

[@rommbb]

speaker 3 has a fantastic overhead sound, it feels like it has the most depth. speaker 2 has the most nirvana-y sound, but i love the way speaker 3 cuts through.

[@dc_latername9064]

1 and 4. If you get a d18 martin, is it as good as the one kurt has...? I mean, is it honestly the same guitar? What kind of strings did Kurt and Elliot use?

[@speedpot]

I like 1 best, but 2 sounds good too…like a pulsonic

[@Isaiah_935]

I loved 1 and 3 speakers tbh

[@LeonardoTineo_]

Love the new look bro! Love all your videos too!!!

[@gcv356]

Hey Aaron, I love your youtube channel and I find the content you bring very interesting, you did the "Recreate that tone" from Nirvana shows, I don't know if you have Boss Katana or not, but because it's "cost/ benefit" maybe most have or maybe it's more accessible to everyone, you could recreate these "tones" (only the "clean" part of the amp, because the rest is achieved with pedals like the ones kurt used) like Live At The Paramount and Live and Loud on Boss Katana and post to your channel? You would really help people A LOT to have this sound, I'm really interested in achieving these sounds, thanks for all the information passed so far. Greetings from Brasil! ❤

[@blazeplatinum1014]

You are true inspiration man keep up the good work

[@tim123marko]

I think speaker 3 is the best and btw. the intro of this video was just great keep on!
