Nirvana - Territorial Pissings (Guitar Cover)

To achieve the otherworldly, jangle-crunch for the guitars on Nevermind's punkiest track, "Territorial Pissings," Cobain defied producer Butch Vig's protests and plugged his instrument right into the mixing desk. He recorded the song in one take. The guitar crackle sets the prickly tone for Cobain's lyrics about paranoia and a hardly poetic jab at patriarchy ("Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman"). It also contrasts the peachy-keen opening verses that Krist Novoselic swiped from the hippie-dippie Youngbloods tune "Get Together." "It wasn't really that thought into," Novoselic said of his contribution. "I like that Youngbloods song." But even though the song's riff sounds particularly mean, not everything about it was so angsty. Regarding the first verse, "When I was an alien," Cobain has said that, growing up, "I wanted to be from another planet really bad." KORY GROW Tuning: Standard Equipment used: Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar, Boss DS-1, Electro Harmonix Small Clone and Fender Mustang IV amp Lyrics: Come on people now smile on your brother everybody get together, try TO love one another right now When I was an alien Cultures weren't opinions Gotta find a way ,find a way, when I'm there Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait Never met a wise man If so it's a woman Gotta find a way , find a way, when I'm there Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait(x2) Just because you're paranoid Don't mean they're not after you Gotta find a way ,find a way, when I'm there Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait(x2) (x3)

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you..

Even though it's easy to play. It's so fucking fun to play

probably one of the most underrated lyrics in history

The energy that comes out of this song is priceless! And you acomplished the goal of transfering that energy to us! Well done! Keep up with the good work ^^

Nailed the fuzzy distortion

this video told me how to play this song.

If I could summarize punk rock in one song, this would be it

I love this guitar.

love the energy!

Awesome as always

yeahh!!!! Loved it. Awesome. Great playing. 

Fantastic cover man!

Awesome cover! You're a great guitarist :)

The first time i see this dude standing

Damn, that was awesome. I was always wondering how he made that high pitch rinGing sound during the part after the first verse when its just bass and drums. Now I just saw how you did it by lightly touching the strings and letting it ring out for a second. Really cool trick!

It’s a 3 chord song, but sometimes in live performances Kurt uses four. Does anybody know what 4 chords they are? Thanks

Very good your covers!

Nice job, is it in standard tune?
