Yuav ua li cas Kurt Cobain hloov nws lub guitar

Kuv nyuam qhuav pib mloog Nirvana thiab pom tias tus suab ntawm guitars nyob rau hauv lawv cov nkauj yog txawv ntawm qhov koj feem ntau hnov ​​nyob rau hauv niaj hnub bands. Qhov no tshwj xeeb tshaj yog pom thaum pib ntawm zaj nkauj "Rape Me".

Kuv tsis tshua paub suab paj nruag thiab yuav ua tsaug ntau yog tias ib tug neeg tuaj yeem piav qhia Kurt Cobain hloov nws lub guitar kom tau lub suab zoo li cas?

Puas muaj lwm tus neeg koom nrog Kurt tau hloov kho zoo sib xws rau lawv cov cuab yeej kom ua tiav cov txiaj ntsig no? Yog muaj, qhov twg?

Matthew Russell : Rau qhov pib, nws tsim nyog sau cia tias feem ntau ntawm nws lub neej, Nirvana yog ib pab pawg tsis paub thiab tsis zoo. Yog li ntawd, lawv tau sim txuag ntau li ntau tau ntawm kev yuav khoom. Lawv cov cuab yeej tau zoo tab sis tsis zoo siab thiab feem ntau yuav siv tau.

Kurt tau ntaus ntau yam guitars thoob plaws hauv nws lub neej. Nws feem ntau pom nrog ib tug Stratocaster ua los ntawm Fender.

Kurt nrog Fender Jaguar guitar

Kurt nrog Fender Mustang

Lub npe nrov tshaj plaws Jagstang guitar, uas ua ke qhov zoo ntawm Jaguar thiab Mustang guitars. Nws tau piav qhia hauv daim duab hauv qab no, uas tau tsim los ntawm Cobain:

Nws kuj tau siv lwm cov guitars, xws li Univox, ib daim qauv ntawm Mosrite. Qhov no ua pov thawj tias ib qho guitar tuaj yeem ua suab zoo li Kurt Cobain guitar yog tias ua si los ntawm Kurt Cobain. Guitarists feem ntau hais tias txhua yam yog nyob ntawm tus neeg ntaus guitar, thiab qee qhov qhov no yog qhov tseeb.

Jaguar thiab Mustang guitars tsis nrov heev thaum lub sijhawm, vim tias txhua pab pawg tau sim coj cov neeg loj xws li Van Halen lossis Phom & Roses, uas siv cov cuab yeej sib txawv kiag li. Nws yog vim li no uas siv Fender guitars tuaj yeem yuav ntawm tus nqi qis heev.

Lub ntsiab kev hloov kho uas Kurt ua rau nws cov guitars yog rau nruab ib humbucker hloov chaw ib coils. Lub suab tsim nrog humbuckers feem ntau yog muaj zog dua, fuller thiab muaj lub ntsiab lus tseem ceeb ntawm nruab nrab. Lawv yog ob npaug ntawm qhov loj ib coils (piv qhov loj ntawm cov dub humbucker ntawm Stratocaster nrog rau ob qho tib si khaws dawb hauv cov duab saum toj no), yog li muab a humbucker ntawm lub guitar tsim rau ib kev siv coil yuav xav kom tus neeg saib xyuas sab saum toj tshem tawm ntawm lub guitar lub cev, lossis txawm txiav lub lawj nws tus kheej.

Xws li kev hloov kho tau ua tiav rau Kurt's Jaguar (daim duab saum toj no), tab sis tsis tau ua los ntawm nws, tab sis los ntawm tus tswv yav dhau los ntawm guitar. Qee zaum Kurt siv Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickups - cov no yog humbuckers txo rau qhov loj ntawm ib tug -coil. Lawv tuaj yeem ntsia tau rau ntawm Fender guitars yam tsis muaj teeb meem. Nws kuj tau siv Seymour Duncan JB pickups thaum tus qauv guitar tso cai rau nws.

Kom tau txais lub suab no, Kurt hloov tsis tau tsuas yog cov guitars, tab sis kuj muaj lwm yam khoom siv. Kuv pom cov ntaub ntawv uas Cobain tsis hnyav txog kev xaiv cov khoom siv thiab siv cov khoom sib txawv heev. Ntawm kev ncig xyuas, nws cov cuab yeej txheem yog Mesa Boogie preamp thiab cais cov suab nrov qis. Cov kab ke no ua rau muaj teeb meem ntau rau pab pawg tech, uas tau xav ua kom yaum Kurt kom siv qee yam kev ntseeg siab dua.

Nws kuj tau siv BOSS DS-1 thiab DS-2, Distortion Cov teebmeem pedals, thiab 1970 Electro Harmonix Small Clone chorus pedal. Nrog lawv cov kev pab, nws ua tiav lub suab "floating", piv txwv li, hauv zaj nkauj "Los Raws Li Koj Nyob". distortion pedals yog footswitches uas feem ntau txuas ntawm lub guitar thiab lub amp.

Lawv tau siv los hloov tam sim ntawd los ntawm qhov ntsiag to "lub suab huv" mus rau lub suab nrov, nkig "tsim qias neeg", xws li hauv cov lus qhia rau "Smells Zoo li Teen Spirit". Lawv kuj tuaj yeem siv los tsim kom muaj lub suab tsis zoo "tsis muaj teeb meem dab tsi amp lub guitar txuas nrog.

BOSS DS-1 pedal tuaj yeem pom nyob rau hauv pem hauv ntej ntawm daim duab hauv qab no. Kuv tuaj yeem piav qhia rau koj tias Kurt tau txais lub suab guitar li cas, tab sis kuv tsis paub yuav ua li cas nws ua lub taub hau thaum ua si ib qho ntawm nws qhov hloov kho Stratocasters.

Ntau yam txuj ci siv thaum kaw kuj ua lub luag haujlwm. Piv txwv li, qhov chaw ntawm ib lub microphone nyob rau hauv ib lub studio tuaj yeem cuam tshuam lub suab zoo. Steve Albini, uas tau pab sau In Utero album, tau sau cov pab pawg hauv ib qho, ua si hauv chav nrog ob peb microphones . Cov txheej txheem no tso cai rau koj kom tau txais lub suab "raws" uas tsis tuaj yeem ua tiav los ntawm lwm txoj hauv kev, piv txwv li, thaum cov tswv cuab ntawm pawg raug kaw cais.

Kurt cov txheej txheem ua si, lossis tsis muaj nws, kuj cuam tshuam rau qhov kawg. Qhov no coj peb rov qab mus rau txoj kev xav tias txhua yam nyob ntawm tus guitarist nws tus kheej xwb. Cobain muaj peev xwm ua tau ntau yam, tab sis nws tsis yog tus ntaus suab paj nruag virtuoso. Hauv nws qhov kev ua si, nws muab kev xav ntau dua li kev txawj: nws ntaus cov hlua nyuaj, tau txais lub suab tshwj xeeb. Nws tsis tau sim ua si hauv tib tus yuam sij nrog lwm tus tswv cuab ntawm pawg lossis tsis tu ncua ntaus cov ntawv - tag nrho cov no tau tshwm sim hauv lub suab ntawm nws lub guitar.

Cobain siv cov cuab yeej "tsis raug" thiab ua si hnyav heev. Nws tau txais kev tshoov siab los ntawm cov qauv xws li punk thiab lwm yam, nrog rau cov pob zeb nrov thaum lub sijhawm, yog li nws tsis xav kom nws lub suab seev suab "huv", tsis muaj qhov tsis xws luag. Nws tau siv cov khoom siv uas tsis tuaj yeem tsim lub suab zoo txawm tias Kurt xav tau. Cobain tau ua haujlwm nrog tus tsim tawm uas tseem tsis txaus siab rau lub suab "zoo", yog li nws tau pab tus kws ntaus suab paj nruag nthuav tawm lub suab nrov ntawm guitar siv ntau txoj hauv kev kaw.

Leon Lewington: XNUMX Lab tus kiv cua tos koj rau Webtalk! Nov yog qhov kev xam phaj zoo uas Kurt piav qhia tias nws tau txais lub suab zoo li cas: "Kurt Cobain ntawm lub iav thiab ntau ntxiv hauv nws qhov kev xam phaj zaum kawg nrog Guitar World magazine.

Tsis muaj leej twg hauv pawg tau them nyiaj ntau npaum li cas lawv cov cuab yeej raug kho. Txhua leej txhua tus tsuas yog nyob rau hauv Kurt lub guitar. Nws tsis txhawj txog qhov xwm txheej ntawm nws cov guitars txawm yog , lawv tau tuned li cas los yog qhov xwm txheej ntawm cov hlua nyob hauv.

Dylan Nobuo Me Me: Nyob rau hauv luv luv, nws yog ob peb yam uas ua rau nws suab paj nruag thiaj li tshwj xeeb. Ua ntej, nws siv guitars uas tsis yog los ua si (Kurt nyiam Fenders uas tsis tau tsim rau punk pob zeb thiab distortion pedals, thiab Jaguar, uas Cobain feem ntau cuam tshuam, tau tsim rau nthwv pob zeb).

Thib ob, lub tonalities nws ua si thiab muaj zog dua humbuckers (lawv khaws cov mids zoo dua thiab suav tias yog sov dua thiab puv dua) tsim lub suab tshwj xeeb. Lub suab kuj tau cuam tshuam los ntawm cov cuab yeej siv thiab Kurt txoj kev ua si (uas yog atypical heev). Tam sim no cia peb mus piav qhia tag nrho cov guitars nws ua si (hauv kev txiav txim raws sijhawm) thiab lwm yam khoom siv uas nws siv.

Kurt yog sab laug, thiab txawm hais tias cov guitars sab xis yog pheej yig dua thiab nrhiav tau yooj yim dua, nws tau sim ua si sab laug-tes guitars ntau li ntau tau, vim tias lawv tsim nyog rau nws qhov kev ua si nruj heev. Txawm li cas los xij, qee zaus nws tau siv cov kev hloov kho sab xis nrog cov hlua khi, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau lub sijhawm thaum Nirvana tseem yog ib lub chaw nres tsheb thiab nws nyuaj rau lawv kom tau txais cov khoom tsim nyog.

Lub sijhawm no, Kurt tau siv ntau yam khoom siv (feem ntau yog Fender thiab Gibson cov ntawv luam), kuj muaj Mosrite Txoj Moo Zoo, Epiphone ET-270 thiab Aria Pro II Cardinal, uas tau los ua nws cov guitars spare. Lub guitar nto moo tshaj plaws ntawm lub sijhawm no yog Univox Hi-Flyer, ib daim qauv ntawm Mosrite Mark IV nrog lub teeb yuag thiab lub cev tshwj xeeb uas Kurt txuas ntxiv siv txawm tias Nirvana los ua ib pab pawg nrov. Thoob plaws hauv nws txoj haujlwm, nws tau txais thiab hloov kho ntau yam guitars.

Pib nyob ib ncig ntawm 1991, Kurt nyiam ua si Fender guitars. Tom qab kev tso tawm ntawm Nevermind, nws tau ua nrog kev hloov kho hnyav Fender Jaguar '65 sunburst guitar uas muaj lub ntsej muag liab liab. Tam sim no Jaguar guitars, thiab zoo sib xws Jazzmaster guitars, yog kim heev, tab sis lub sij hawm ntawd cov qauv American tuaj yeem yuav ntawm tus nqi qis. Kurt yuav nws lub guitar rau txog $ 500 ntawm LA Recycler.

Nws twb tau hloov kho los ntawm tus tswv yav dhau los (Martin Jenner ntawm Cliff Richard thiab Cov Kwv Tij Everly). Nws haum nws nrog dual Dimarzio humbuckers (PAF-hom nqa caj dab thiab Super Distortion choj ), ib tug Schaller Tune-o-Matic choj zoo li ntawm Gibson guitars, thiab tswj lub ntim thib ob.

Nws tau siv rau cov txheej txheem no thiab txuas ntxiv hloov kho nws cov Fender guitars hauv tib txoj leeg. Tom qab ntawd nws hloov tus qauv xaiv xaiv hloov (3-txoj haujlwm hloov) nrog peb txoj kev thawb-khawm hloov. Ua ntej qhov no, nws siv cov kab xev nplaum kom tsis txhob hloov pauv ntawm nws txoj haujlwm, vim nws tsuas yog siv sab laug choj nqa.

Tom qab ntawd, tom qab kaw hauv Utero, nws hloov lub Super Distortion humbucker nrog nws nyiam Seymour Duncan JB. Nws tseem tsim nyog sau cia tias nws tsis tau siv lub caj npab tremolo thiab kho lawv cov tailpieces, ua kom muaj kev txhawb nqa thiab qhov tseeb ntawm lub guitar tuning. Dab tsi ntxiv, tag nrho nws cov guitars muaj Schaller pluaj mounts, thiab Ernie Ball straps yog dub los yog dawb.

Nws ib txwm muaj ob peb Fender Stratocasters ntawm tes (feem ntau yog dawb los yog dub, tab sis ib qho yog sunburst thiab lwm yam liab), uas tau tawg thaum lub sij hawm band nto moo concerts. Lawv tau sib sau ua ke hauv Nyiv lossis Mexico thiab yog qhov pheej yig dua rau Asmeskas cov qauv.

Nws muab JB humbucker ntawm tag nrho cov guitars. Qee lub sij hawm nws yog '59 Seymour Duncan lossis thaum lub suab nrov kub kub tsis tuaj yeem haum rau Strat. Tom qab cov Strats raug tsoo, cov guitars tshiab ("Franken-Strat") tau sib sau los ntawm lawv qhov chaw. Ib qho piv txwv ntawm xws li ib tug guitar yog tag nrho cov dub Strat guitar (nrog lub cev dub, pickguard, '59 khaws thiab tswj, thiab ib tug Feederz decal) nrog ib tug Fernandes Strat caj dab (tus thawj lub caj dab yog tawg).

Qhov no lub caj dab tsuas yog kav ib hlis thiab tau hloov nrog ib tug Kramer caj dab (cov hlua nqa lawv ncig txhua lub sijhawm rau kev kho). Kurt tej zaum nyiam lawv zoo dua cov fernandes ' caj dab (txawm tias lawv yog qhov yooj yim kom tau). Tag nrho lwm lub caj dab ntawm nws Fenders muaj rosewood fretboards, uas nws nyiam ntau dua maple .

Thaum lub sij hawm ncig Utero, Kurt lub ntsiab guitar yog Fender Mustang. Nws muaj ob peb ntawm cov guitars, ib qho hauv "Fiesta Liab" nrog cov hlaws dawb dawb thiab cov khoom siv dub, thiab ob qho ntxiv hauv "Sonic Blue". Lawv txawv tsuas yog nyob rau hauv tsos - ib tug muaj mottled liab pickups thiab dawb pickups, thiab lwm yam muaj ib tug matte liab lawj saum thiab dawb thiab dub pickups.

cov stock choj tau hloov nrog Gotoh's Tune-o-Matic thiab cov txeej ib sab ntawm nws tau hloov nrog Seymour Duncan JB. Raws li nrog Jaguar guitar, nws tsis siv lub caj dab nqa (sib nrug los ntawm qee qhov studio kaw) thiab tremolo caj npab. Lub tremolo springs tau hloov nrog cov pa ntxhua khaub ncaws, thiab cov Tsov ntxhuav tau raug kho kom cov hlua hla nws ncaj qha. Cov kab ke no ntau dua rau Gibson guitars.

Kurt kuj tau pib ua haujlwm nrog Fender los tsim Jag-Stang, kev sib xyaw ntawm Jaguar thiab Mustang guitars uas ua ke nrog nws cov kev nyiam: tus choj Tune-o-Matic, a sab laug humbucker choj , luv luv (luv 24 "teev) thiab cov duab tshwj xeeb. guitar nws tus kheej. Txawm li cas los xij, nws tsuas yog siv lub guitar ob peb zaug rau qhov kawg ntawm nws txoj hauj lwm - Kurt tseem ntseeg siab rau Mustang guitars. Nws yog tsim nyog sau cia tias tag nrho cov pab pawg tau kho lawv cov twj paj nruag qis dua ib nrab kauj ruam.

Rau kev ua yeeb yam acoustic, Kurt siv ib qho Epiphone Texan guitar nrog lub detachable Bartolini 3AV pickup (yooj yim txheeb xyuas los ntawm "Nixon Tam sim no" daim nplaum) los yog tsawg heev 1950 Martin D-18E guitar. Nws tuaj yeem hnov ​​​​ntawm Unplugged In New York album, tab sis raws li electro-acoustic (nrog rau Bartolini 3AV pickup, tab sis twb tau tsim rau hauv lub guitar nws tus kheej), uas nws txuas nrog pedals thiab mus tov khoom , yog li nws tsis tuaj yeem hu ua acoustic ntshiab.

Ob qho ntawm cov guitars no tau hloov kho cov qauv sab xis nrog cov hlua khi rov qab. Qhov funny tshaj plaws yog qhov guitar nws ua si thaum kaw cov nkauj "Polly" thiab "Ib Yam Hauv Txoj Kev" los ntawm Nevermind album yog qhov tsis zoo, tab sis nws tsis tau hloov kho txhua txoj hauv kev lossis txawm hloov cov hlua rau. nws. Nws yog 12-txoj hlua Stella Harmony uas nws tau yuav rau $ 30 ntawm lub tsev qiv nyiaj. Nws tsuas muaj 5 txoj hlua nylon, thiab cov choj tau tuav nrog kua nplaum.

Raws li tus neeg sau tseeb ntawm cov khoom qub qub, txawv txawv thiab pheej yig, Kurt paub meej zam kev yuav khoom tshiab. Kuv tsis tau hais txog tus lej ntawm lwm cov guitars nws ua si: ob peb hloov kho Telecaster guitars thiab lwm yam Mustangs (feem ntau yog tus qauv '69 paub txog nws qhov tsos hauv "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video). Mosrite Mark IV thiab Fender XII guitars (ob qho tib si raug rhuav tshem nrog cov ntaub ntawv hauv tsev thiab cov ntawv teev npe uas Kurt nkaum hauv nws chav dej los tiv thaiv los ntawm tub sab - lawv raug dej nyab).
