I feel like Bleach has just the most creative and heaviest riffs from all Nirvana albums
-
You doing the neck tapping thing before School made that 1000000x more epic.
-
Paper Cuts is just one of the best fucking songs period.
-
To all the people saying Cobain was a bad guitarist - you try playing AND singing to some of his riffs. Much less coming up with them. What sets a great guitarist apart from a good guitarist is that you can hear them in their guitar playing, you can't mistake Cobain's guitar playing with anyone else. His style simply didn't need to be clean or sharp, just hard and dirty.

A lot of people (even guitar players because they haven’t tried) don’t realize that while they seem very basic, these riffs are pretty unnatural-feeling to play. The fact that he played these WHILE SINGING is a lot of what made him great.
-
Kurt gets a bad rep as a guitarist, but he came up with good catchy and brutal licks. Some are even fairly complex, and the execution has feel for days. Underrated in that aspect.
-
This is too perfect, please lower the quality of the performance
-
Riffs like Floyd, Negative Creep, and Swap Meet remind me that simple sounds you make while practicing can actually be composed if you believe in yourself
-
When you played about a girl, I swear I could hear the drums kick in!
-
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned!
-
I've been using Mr Moustache to warm my fingers up for years, just did not know the name of the song (learned it from my Nirvana obsessed buddy yrs ago)
-
Swap meet is so under rated
-
These are some heavy ass riffs
-
Jeez, I would’ve called this metal if I hadn’t known it was Nirvana
-
Seeing these all back to back really highlights how inventive of a guitar player Kurt really was. I think he often is regarded as an overrated or ratty guitar player who didn’t have any real chops. But Nirvana was never about showing off or posturing or busting out huge solos just because they could. Nirvana was about art and expression. They unloaded their angst into their art and it moved and connected with a generation of misfits. And still does.
-
Dose anyone also think that the moving between frets with the distortion is a very satisfying sound
-
The simplicity behind these riffs and the melody is astounding
-
theres something special about the songs you write when you first start playing. Not to imply Kurt wasn't well practiced, but there's this primal quality to the riffs on bleach that always get me, and remind me of being obsessed with riff writing when i first started playing guitar. It's something Kurt definitely traded for more traditional songs later on (which were also obviously great). There's just so much youthful energy on bleach that's why its probably my favorite
-
Now i figure why i was so into Nirvana back in the days. These riffs are lovely. Simple, yet very creative and catchy
