Nirvana - Dive (Guitar Cover)

[@Tomnedreb]

This song is heavily underrated. Got to be one of Kurt's best compositions, in my opinion. And so much fun to play!

[@zin3408]

Highly agreed

[@ddau2855]

Yeah I agree, it’s one of the best songs In the world in my opinion

Yeah if anyone gave me one Nirvana song to cover it would be this one.

[@chanceishikawa1699]

Fuck yea dude!

[@bigtonemalone2921]

Love this song! Hella energy on this cut

[@thegreatgambino5079]

After years of being forced to teach kids Nirvana songs, my guitar teacher came around to believing very strongly that Kurt Cobain knew more about guitar than people give him credit.

[@Tomnedreb]

And he was right!

[@The_Real_Shrimp]

He very much did. It's very interesting to see in his music. Especially whenever you look at his solos or any of the material on Bleach or the Fecal Matter demo tape. I feel he had a basic understanding of the pentatonic scale as shown by the solo in Sappy

[@whitesabbath6581]

Incesticide is SO underrated.

[@kentex82]

Incesticide and In utero are the best records they made

[@-Vaile]

Talking about nirvana right?? 😂

[@Tomnedreb]

From Nirvana's final single on Sub Pop comes a tense and furtive pop song in spite of itself, its squawking guitars and strangled vocals pushing up against a smooth, almost buoyant bassline, Chad Channing's steady drums, and the clean production of Nevermind producer Butch Vig, who the band was working with for the first time. In 1991 Sub Pop included the track on the label compilation The Grunge Years, which - in keeping with its penchant for in-jokes about "world domination" - had a pair of important businessmen doing something resembling a big deal on the cover. That compilation's implied irony would come full circle a few months later, when the video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" would debut on MTV. Tuning: Standard Equipment used: Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang, Boss DS-1 and Fender Mustang IV amp. Lyrics: Oh! Pick me - pick me yeah Live alone, lone single At least, at least yeah Everyone is hollow Pick me - pick me yeah Everyone is waiting Pick me - pick me yeah You can even pay them Hey [x2] Dive [x3] Dive in me Dive in me [x3] Kiss this, kiss that yeah Live alone, lone single At least, at least yeah You can be my hero Pick me - pick me yeah Everyone is waiting Hit me, hit me yeah I'm real good at hating Hey [x2] Dive [x3] Dive in me Dive in me [x3] [x3] Dive [x3] Dive in me Dive in me [x6]

[@visionplayer10]

This one was done back in sub pop days??

[@gonzaloNMF]

One of the best riffs ever written

[@Ezra.G]

Crazy how Kurt wrote such a heavy sounding song in standard. You play it so well and with every bit of attitude as the original. Your tone is spot on too. Awesome work!

[@sinightowl5289]

Sick cover man and I heavily agree, this song and incestisides as a whole is completely underrated

Good performance.

So Great! Thank You!

[@brexxebender1204]

Love the intensity man!! I miss Kurt... ...my inspiration for teaching myself to play all those years ago..

I love your covers so much

[@CaptainKirkDiggler]

Damn, thought I'd catch you slipping in the chorus!! But, you nailed it. Thanks for the video man! Again, I'm only saying this cause you know Kurt's style and play the tunes the way he did. In the beginning he doesn't slide up to the high E on the 7/9, he drops to the low E like the verse. Dude was all index and middle fingers... and the ring just for the power chords. Now, gotta check out how you play the chorus of Heart Shaped Box. You legit made a boring evening fun as hell for me!

[@arsaeterna4285]

DOPE going play around with this tomorrow and see how well I can get it by end of day!

Excellent job as expected! Have you ever considered buying one of those Randall RG120 combo's? That or a Sunn Beta Lead combo really put a person into the sound&vibe of the late 80's early 90's live Nirvana tone.

[@memegames6743]

Nice to see that Guitar went to the right person

[@hunterangstadt450]

I don’t know if you already do this, but you should definitely write your own music. You have a guitar style very similar to Kurt’s and it would be very interesting to see new songs in that style.

can you tell me whats the setting of the amp and pedal?

Tomnedreb thanks

[@kyrpajyra_]

Set your amps treble to around 2 or 3 O'clock and keep the bass pretty low around 9-10 o'clock and keep your mids at 12 o'clock

[@kyrpajyra_]

Yeah we have a completely different amp but those are just the settings i use to get a pretty accurate sound :p I use a 1998 Crate GX-15R, it's a weird and cheap amp kinda shit but it gets the job done

[@Tomnedreb]

Hey, Paul! Yeah, this one is a re-do and I beg to differ old one was sloppy and the bends all wrong. How things with you? Kid growing fast I bet.

[@sgflyingv]

Tomnedreb she's 21 months old! She's a little trooper. Love it so much. She loves joining in on guitar with daddy. She called the guitar "ding" and likes to sit on my lap behind the neck of the guitar and strum! We lost a baby last August which put a black cloud on things for a long time. What's up with tje jagstang?

[@Tomnedreb]

That's so cool. My oldest is turning 13 tomorrow, crazy how the years go by. Just enjoy it while u can man. The jagstang have some serious ground/buzz problem. Just a really bad sound until I touch the metal on it. I'll probably have to open it up and do some soldering work on the wiring.

[@sgflyingv]

Tomnedreb before I sold mine I had all cavities and plates shielded. Had it rewired with braided wire as stock was terrible.

[@Tomnedreb]

I will surely consider something like that. Actually have some buzzing on my Mustang too.

[@markus4324]

tom what do you think about playiing a signature model in a band? is it better to have his "own" guitar or get a signature you like?

[@Tomnedreb]

I don't see any problems using a signature model if u like that guitar. Most of them are quite versatile instruments, so not a problem to play anything you like. But if u have the time and effort to change pick-ups etc on your "own" that can be cool, so I guess it doesn't matter as long as you have fun and it sounds good.

[@markus4324]

Tomnedreb yeah you know the problem is just if you play a signature then you are just copying that guy in the eyes of people and that is what anoy me but thanks for the answer:)

[@Tomnedreb]

Screw those guys. Who cares what other people thinks anyway, imo

[@markus4324]

I think we can all agree to love your covers, but you've gotta cover some new songs! Regardless keep posting! Cheers!

[@markus4324]

Tom hello i'm again hahah ehm i have a question so how often you make mistakes while playing? I everytime think that when i play drain you for example than is had to be 100% correct and sometimes it work that i play 100% but i play drain you over and over day for day and when i'm doing mistakes i'm really frustraded so and my question is do you can play a song over and over without any mistakes?

[@Tomnedreb]

I would say that most of Nirvana's songs I can play several times without doing any mistakes, but this has not always been the case. Before I got more serious about my playing I tended to do more mistakes, but I guess that's natural. The better you are at playing the less mistakes you do.

[@markus4324]

Tomnedreb is a mistake for you when you make a powerchord with three fingers and you touch all right but the pinky you have on the fret metal dont know the name for that lol

[@Tomnedreb]

Dude, don't worry so much about mistakes. Just play with passion. I've watch a cover of Drain You the other day and this guy plays it very well, but with no passion at all. It was the worst cover I've ever seen. I might as well have watched paint dry.

[@markus4324]

tom thanks for your advise and thanks that you took the time for me!
