Play “About A Girl” by Nirvana – Video Guitar Lesson

It’s nearly 15 years since the death of guitarist/songwriter Kurt Cobain but the music of Nirvana still influences almost every ‘alternative’ rock group to this day. Great songwriting, great voice and a great riff writer. This video guitar lesson shows how to play Nirvana’s “About A Girl”, the MTV Unplugged “Live in New York” version.

On the video I first run through the parts then show the parts half speed, breaking down the chords, strum patterns and the solo.

If you like this lesson and want to learn more Nirvana consider taking private lessons with me. You might also like to check out the following resources:
