Having a Grunge Day
I’m having a grunge day (as Nat called it) learning Nirvana songs. It’s always fun for me to revisit 90s era tunes that I couldn’t play on guitar when I was taking guitar lessons in high school. Nirvana had a special place during my learning of the guitar and how to read tabs. I slaved over “Lake of Fire” for months!
One thing that confused me was seeing a tab of guitar parts like a G5 chord broken up into chunks:
Today didn’t start with learning Nirvana songs. I was browsing Netflix over breakfast and got hooked into some Nirvana documentaries available on stream-it-now. Anyone watch the documentary on Netflix with producer Butch Vig at the mixing board sharing some of the recording process and tracks from the Nevermind sessions? So cool. It touches the soul to watch Vic just listen back to the tracks he recorded with Kurt, Kris and Dave, and say, “This is beautiful…”
Anyways, my teenage-self is ready to wear flannel again. Unfortunately, I’m three years older than Kurt Cobain lived, so I’m too old for that publicly display of adolescent tendencies; I’ll just wear some long-johns under my clothes and no one will be the wiser.
