Nirvana Tone: Paradiso | Riffs & Settings
Recreating Kurt Cobain's tone from Nirvana's show at The Paradiso in Amsterdam, Netherlands on November 25th, 1991! I even tried to detune my guitar to be as out of tune as Kurt was during Come As You Are.
This is a well loved show that's been widely available on the bootleg circuit for years, but recently got some mainstream attention when it was officially released on the Nevermind 30th anniversary boxset.
