Chorus Pattern of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit on Guitar

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Joe Wiles, with the Rock and Roll Conservatory on behalf of Expert Village. We're going to talk about "Smells Like Teen Spirit"s chorus now. It's very similar to the introduction, with a small difference. In the intro, we use chords with a clean sound. In the chorus, the whole thing is distorted. It's similar to the introduction except it's distorted the whole time. Turn on your distortion boxes. It's the same chord progression as the introduction. Let's try that really slowly. The actual song repeats that through twelve bars. It goes like this, very slowly. To speed, it sounds like this. Okay? Just repeat that through twelve bars, and you've got your chorus. In the next segment, we're going to talk about the pre-verse, the part that comes right after the chorus. It's a little tricky, but I'll see you there."
