Pehea ʻo Kurt Cobain i hoʻololi ai i kāna kīkā

Ua hoʻomaka wau e hoʻolohe iā Nirvana a ʻike wau i ka kani o na kikā ʻokoʻa kā lākou mau mele mai ka mea āu e lohe mau ai i nā bana hou. ʻIke ʻia kēia ma ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke mele "Rape Me".

ʻAʻole wau ʻike nui i ke mele a mahalo nui inā hiki i kekahi ke wehewehe i ka hoʻololi ʻana o Kurt Cobain i kāna kīkā e loaʻa ai kahi kani kūʻokoʻa?

Ua hana like paha nā lālā hui ʻē aʻe ma waho o Kurt i kā lākou mau mea kani e hoʻokō ai i kēia hopena? Ina pela, owai la?

Matthew Russell : No ka hoʻomaka ʻana, pono e ʻike i ka hapa nui o kona ola ʻana, ʻo Nirvana kahi hui ʻike ʻole a ʻilihune. No laila, ua ho'āʻo lākou e mālama i ka mea hiki ke kūʻai aku i nā lako. Maikaʻi kā lākou mau mea kani akā ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka maikaʻi a hoʻohana ʻia paha.

Ua hoʻokani ʻo Kurt i nā kīkā like ʻole i kona ola ʻana. ʻIke pinepine ʻia ʻo ia me he Stratocaster hana ʻia e Fender.

ʻO Kurt me kahi Fender Stratocaster

ʻO Kurt me kahi guitar Fender Jaguar

ʻO Kurt me kahi Fender Mustang

ʻO ke kīkā Jagstang kaulana loa, i hui pū i nā ʻano o Jaguar a me Mustang guitar. Hōʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma ke kiʻi ma lalo, i hana ʻia e Cobain:

Ua hoʻohana pū ʻo ia i nā kīkā ʻē aʻe, e like me Univox, kahi kope o Mosrite. Hōʻike kēia i ke kani ʻana o kekahi kīkā e like me ke kīkā Kurt Cobain inā hoʻokani ʻia e Kurt Cobain. 'Ōlelo pinepine ka poʻe hoʻokani pila e pili ana i ka mea hoʻokani pila, a ma kekahiʻano heʻoiaʻiʻo kēia.

ʻAʻole kaulana loa nā kīkā Jaguar a me Mustang i kēlā manawa, no ka mea, ke hoʻāʻo nei nā hui a pau e hoʻohālike i nā pilikua e like me Van Halen a i ʻole Guns & Roses, nāna i hoʻohana i nā ʻano mea kani like ʻole. ʻO ia ke kumu i hiki ke kūʻai ʻia nā kīkā Fender ma ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa loa.

ʻO ka hoʻololi nui a Kurt i hana ai i kāna mau kīkā ʻo ia ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kahi humbucker ma kahi o ka hae hookahi nā wili. ʻO ke kani i hana ʻia me humbuckers ʻoi aku ka ikaika, piha a ʻoi aku ka manaʻo nui ma ka waena. Palua ko lakou nui o hookahi coils (hoʻohālikelike i ka nui o ka ʻeleʻele humbucker ma kahi Stratocaster me nā kiʻi keʻokeʻo maʻamau ʻelua i nā kiʻi ma luna), no laila e kau ana i kahi humbucker ma kahi kīkā i hana ʻia no hookahi ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka coil e pono e wehe ʻia ke kiaʻi o luna mai ke kino o ke kīkā, a i ʻole ke ʻoki ʻana i ka papa ponoʻī.

Ua hana ʻia kēlā ʻano hoʻololi iā Kurt's Jaguar (kiʻi ʻia ma luna), ʻaʻole naʻe i hana ʻia e ia, akā na ka mea nona ka guitar ma mua. I kekahi manawa ua hoʻohana ʻo Kurt i nā ʻokiʻoki ʻo Seymour Duncan Hot Rails - ʻo ia kēia humbuckers hoemi i ka nui o akahi -pili . Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokomo ʻia ma nā kīkā Fender me ka ʻole o nā pilikia. Ua hoʻohana pū ʻo ia i nā pickups Seymour Duncan JB i ka wā i ʻae ʻia ai ka hoʻolālā kīkā.

No ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia kani, ua hoʻololi ʻo Kurt ʻaʻole wale i nā kīkā, akā i nā mea hana ʻē aʻe. Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka ʻike ia ʻAʻole koʻikoʻi ʻo Cobain i ke koho ʻana i nā mea hana a hoʻohana i nā ʻāpana like ʻole. Ma ka huakaʻi, ʻo kāna mea hana maʻamau he Mesa Boogie preamp a me nā mea hoʻonui haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa kaʻawale. Ua hoʻopilikia kēia ʻōnaehana i nā pilikia he nui no ka hui ʻenehana, ka poʻe i makemake nui e hoʻohuli iā Kurt e hoʻohana i kahi mea hilinaʻi.

Ua hoʻohana pū ʻo ia i kahi BOSS DS-1 a me DS-2, Distortion nā pedal hopena, a me kahi papa mele mele ʻo Electro Harmonix Small Clone 1970. Me kā lākou kōkua, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi leo "floating", e like me ka laʻana, ma ke mele "Come As You Are". ʻOkoʻa ʻO nā pedals he mau wāwae wāwae i hoʻopili pinepine ʻia ma waena o ke kīkā a me ka amp.

Hoʻohana ʻia lākou i ka hoʻololi koke ʻana mai kahi "leo maʻemaʻe" mālie i kahi "leo lepo" leo nui, e like me ka intro i "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia lākou e hana i kahi "leo lepo" maʻamau ʻaʻohe mea e pili ana i ka amp e pili ana i ke kīkā.

Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka pedal BOSS DS-1 ma ka mua o ke kiʻi ma lalo nei. Hiki iaʻu ke wehewehe iā ʻoe pehea i loaʻa ai iā Kurt kēlā kani kīkā, akā ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu pehea ʻo ia e hana ai i kēia poʻo i ka wā e pāʻani ana i kekahi o kāna Stratocasters i hoʻololi ʻia.

ʻO nā ʻano hana like ʻole i hoʻohana ʻia i ka wā hoʻopaʻa leo pū kekahi. No ka laʻana, ka wahi o he microphone i loko o ke keena hiki ke hoʻololi i ka maikaʻi o ke kani. ʻO Steve Albini, ka mea i kōkua i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka album In Utero, i hoʻopaʻa i nā hui i hoʻokahi kiʻi, e pāʻani ana i loko o kahi lumi me kekahi microphones . Hāʻawi kēia ʻenehana iā ʻoe e kiʻi i kahi kani "raw" ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokō ʻia e nā ʻano hana ʻē aʻe, no ka laʻana, ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā lālā o ka hui.

ʻO ke ʻano hana pāʻani a Kurt, a i ʻole ka nele o ia, ua hoʻohuli pū i ka hopena hope. Hoʻihoʻi kēia iā mākou i ke kumumanaʻo e pili ana nā mea āpau i ka mea hoʻokani pila ponoʻī. Hiki iā Cobain ke hana i nā mea he nui, akā ʻaʻole ia he mea hoʻokani pila virtuoso. I kāna pāʻani ʻana, ua ʻoi aku ka manaʻo ma mua o ke akamai: paʻi ikaika ʻo ia i nā kaula, loaʻa kahi kani kū hoʻokahi. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hoʻāʻo e pāʻani ma ke kī hoʻokahi me nā lālā ʻē aʻe o ka hui a i ʻole e paʻi mau i nā memo - ua ʻike ʻia kēia mau mea a pau i ke kani o kāna kīkā.

Ua hoʻohana ʻo Cobain i nā mea hana "hewa" a pāʻani ikaika loa. Ua hoʻoikaika ʻia ʻo ia e nā ʻano e like me ka punk a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, a me ka pōhaku kaulana i kēlā manawa, no laila ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia e kani "maʻemaʻe" kāna kīkā, me ka ʻole o nā hemahema. Hoʻohana ʻo ia i nā mea hana hiki ʻole ke hoʻopuka i ke kani kiʻekiʻe inā makemake ʻo Kurt. Ua hana ʻo Cobain me kahi mea hana i makemake ʻole i kahi leo "maikaʻi", no laila ua kōkua ʻo ia i ka mea hoʻokani pila e hoʻonui i ka leo koʻikoʻi o ke kīkā me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻano hoʻopaʻa leo like ʻole.

Leon Lewington: Eia kahi ninaninau nui i wehewehe ai ʻo Kurt i ke ʻano o ka loaʻa ʻana o ia leo kūʻokoʻa: "Kurt Cobain ma ke kāʻei a me nā mea hou aʻe i kāna nīnauele hou me Guitar World magazine.

ʻAʻohe mea o ka bana i nānā nui i ke kani ʻana o kā lākou mau mea kani. Hoʻokani wale nā ​​kānaka a pau i ke kīkā a Kurt. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hopohopo i ke kūlana o kāna mau kīkā aiʻole , pehea lākou i hoʻokani ʻia ai a i ʻole ke ʻano o nā kaula.

ʻO Dylan Nobuo Little: I ka pōkole, he nui nā kumu i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia kāna mele. ʻO ka mua, ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i nā kīkā ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia e hoʻokani ʻia (Ua makemake ʻo Kurt i nā Fenders ʻaʻole i kūkulu ʻia no ka pōhaku punk a ʻOkoʻa nā pedals, a me ka Jaguar, kahi i hui pinepine ʻia ʻo Cobain, i kūkulu ʻia no ka pōhaku heʻe nalu).

ʻO ka lua, ʻo nā tonality āna i pāʻani ai a ʻoi aku ka ikaika humbuckers (ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ko lākou ʻohi ʻana i ka waena a manaʻo ʻia he ʻoi aku ka mahana a me ka piha) i hana i kahi kani kū hoʻokahi . Hoʻopili pū ʻia ke kani e nā mea hana i hoʻohana ʻia a me ke ʻano pāʻani o Kurt (he ʻano atypical loa). ʻĀnō e neʻe kākou i ka wehewehe ʻana i nā kīkā a pau āna i hoʻokani ai (ma ke ʻano o ka manawa) a me nā mea hana ʻē aʻe āna i hoʻohana ai.

He lima hema ʻo Kurt, a ʻoiai he ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā kīkā lima ʻākau a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka loaʻa ʻana, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e pāʻani i nā kīkā lima hema i nā manawa a pau e hiki ai, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna ʻano pāʻani koʻikoʻi. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻohana ʻo ia i kekahi manawa i nā kīkā lima ʻākau i hoʻololi ʻia me nā kaula i hoʻonohonoho hou ʻia, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka manawa ʻo Nirvana he hui kaʻa kaʻa a paʻakikī iā lākou ke kiʻi i nā lako pono.

I loko o kēia manawa, ua hoʻohana ʻo Kurt i nā mea hana i hoʻohana ʻia (ka hapa nui o Fender a me Gibson kope), Including ʻO Mosrite Gospel, Epiphone ET-270 a me Aria Pro II Cardinal, ka mea i lilo i mau kīkā hoʻomaha. ʻO ka guitar kaulana loa o kēia wā ʻo ia ka Univox Hi-Flyer, he kope o ka Mosrite Mark IV me ke kaumaha māmā a me ke ʻano kino kū hoʻokahi a Kurt i hoʻohana mau ai ʻoiai ua lilo ʻo Nirvana i hui kaulana. I loko o kāna ʻoihana, ua loaʻa a hoʻololi ʻo ia i nā kīkā he nui.

E hoʻomaka ana ma kahi o 1991, makemake ʻo Kurt e pāʻani i nā kīkā Fender. Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o Nevermind, ua hoʻokani ʻo ia me kahi Fender Jaguar '65 sunburst guitar i hōʻike ʻia i kahi pickguard ʻulaʻula. I kēia manawa, he pipiʻi loa nā kīkā Jaguar, a me nā kīkā Jazzmaster like, akā i kēlā manawa hiki ke kūʻai ʻia kēia mau kime ʻAmelika ma ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa. Ua kūʻai ʻo Kurt i kāna kīkā ma kahi o $500 ma LA Recycler.

Ua hoʻololi ʻia e ka mea nona mua (Martin Jenner o Cliff Richard a me The Everly Brothers). Ua hoʻokomo ʻo ia me ʻelua Dimarzio humbuckers (kahi koho ʻāʻī ʻano PAF a me kahi Super Distortion alahaka ), he alahaka Schaller Tune-o-Matic e like me nā kīkā Gibson, a me ka lua o ka mana leo.

Ua maʻa ʻo ia i kēia pūʻulu o nā mea a hoʻomau i ka hoʻololi ʻana i kāna mau kīkā Fender ma ke ʻano like. A laila ua hoʻololi ʻo ia i ka hoʻololi koho koho maʻamau (3-kūlana hoʻololi) me kahi hoʻololi pihi pihi ʻekolu ala. Ma mua o kēia, ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i ka duct tape e mālama i ka hoʻololi mai ka hoʻololi ʻole ʻana i kona kūlana, ʻoiai ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau i ka hema. alahaka ʻohi aʻe .

Ma hope mai, ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana iā In Utero, ua hoʻololi ʻo ia i ka Super Distortion humbucker me kāna punahele ʻo Seymour Duncan JB. He mea kūpono hoʻi e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻohana i nā lima tremolo a hoʻopaʻa i ko lākou mau huelo, e hoʻonui ana i ka hoʻomau a me ka pololei o ke kani ʻana o ke kīkā. ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, ua loaʻa i kāna mau kīkā a pau ke kaula Schaller, a ʻo nā kaula ʻo Ernie Ball he ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo paha.

Loaʻa iā ia kekahi mau Fender Stratocasters ma ka lima (ʻo ka hapa nui ke keʻokeʻo a i ʻole ka ʻeleʻele, akā ʻo kekahi ʻulaʻula a ʻo kekahi ʻulaʻula), i haki ʻia i nā ʻaha mele kaulana a ka hui. Ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻia lākou ma Iapana a i ʻole Mekiko a he mau mea ʻokoʻa liʻiliʻi i nā hiʻohiʻona ʻAmelika.

Ua kau ʻo ia i kahi JB humbucker ma kēia mau kīkā a pau. I kekahi manawa he '59 Seymour Duncan a i ʻole i hiki ʻole i kahi Humbucking Hot Rails ke komo i kahi Strat . Ma hope o ka haki ʻana o nā Strats, ua ʻākoakoa ʻia nā kīkā hou ("Franken-Strat") mai ko lākou mau ʻāpana. ʻO kahi laʻana o ia kīkā he kīkā Strat ʻeleʻele āpau (me ke kino ʻeleʻele, pickguard, '59 pickup and controls, a me kahi decal Feederz) me kahi ʻāʻī Fernandes Strat (ke kumu kumu. 'ā'ī ia haki).

keia 'ā'ī hoʻokahi mahina wale nō a ua pani ʻia me kahi Kramer ʻāʻī (ua lawe ka hui iā lākou i nā manawa a pau no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana). Ua makemake paha ʻo Kurt iā lākou ma mua ʻO Fernandes 'ā'ī (ʻoiai he mea maʻalahi loa ka loaʻa ʻana). ʻO nā ʻāʻī ʻē aʻe a pau o kāna Fenders he mau papa lāʻau rosewood, kahi āna i makemake nui ai ma mua o ka maple .

I ka wā o ka huakaʻi ʻo In Utero, ʻo Fender Mustang ka guitar nui a Kurt. Ua loaʻa iā ia kekahi o kēia mau kīkā, hoʻokahi ma "Fiesta Red" me kahi ʻeke momi keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo a me nā pickup ʻeleʻele, a ʻelua mau mea ʻē aʻe ma "Sonic Blue". He ʻokoʻa wale nō ko lākou ʻano - he ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula a me nā pickups keʻokeʻo kekahi, a ʻo kekahi he ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula matte top a me nā pickups keʻokeʻo a ʻeleʻele.

ka alahaka waiwai ua pani ʻia me Gotoh's Tune-o-Matic a me ka ʻohi aʻe ua pani ʻia me kahi Seymour Duncan JB. E like me ka Jaguar guitar, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻohana i nā ʻāʻī ʻāʻī (ma waho o kekahi mau studio hoʻopaʻa leo) a tremolo lima . ʻO ka haʻalulu ua paniia na punawai me na holoi holoi ma'amau, a me ka huelo ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia i hele pololei nā kaula. ʻOi aku ka maʻamau o kēia ʻōnaehana no nā kīkā Gibson.

Ua hoʻomaka pū ʻo Kurt e hana pū me Fender e hana i ka Jag-Stang, kahi hui o Jaguar a me Mustang guitars i hui pū i kāna mau ʻano punahele: kahi alahaka Tune-o-Matic, a humbucker hema alahaka , pōkole lōʻihi (pōkole 24″ unahi ) a me ke ʻano kū hoʻokahi. ka guitar ponoi. Eia naʻe, hoʻohana wale ʻo ia i kēia kīkā i kekahi mau manawa a hiki i ka hopena o kāna ʻoihana - ua kūpaʻa ʻo Kurt i nā kīkā Mustang. Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ua hoʻokani ka hui holoʻokoʻa i kā lākou mau mea kani i ka hapalua o ka ʻanuʻu.

No nā hana hoʻokani leo, ua hoʻohana ʻo Kurt i kahi kīkā Epiphone Texan me kahi kākā Bartolini 3AV hiki ke wehe (i ʻike maʻalahi ʻia e kahi sticker "Nixon Now") a i ʻole kahi kīkā 1950 Martin D-18E. Hiki ke lohe ʻia ma ka album Unplugged In New York, akā ma ke ʻano he electro-acoustic (me kahi Bartolini 3AV pickup, akā ua kūkulu ʻia i loko o ka guitar ponoʻī), ua hoʻopili ʻo ia ma o nā pedals a e huikau , no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke kapa ʻia he acoustic maʻemaʻe.

Ua hoʻololi ʻia kēia mau kīkā ʻelua i nā hiʻohiʻona lima ʻākau me nā kaula i hoʻonohonoho hou ʻia. ʻO ka mea ʻakaʻaka, ʻo ke kīkā āna i hoʻokani ai i ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā mele "Polly" a me "Something In The Way" mai ka album Nevermind i loko o kahi kūlana maikaʻi ʻole, akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻololi a hoʻololi paha i nā kaula ma. ia. He 12-string Stella Harmony āna i kūʻai ai no $30 ma kahi pawnshop. He 5 wale nō kāna mau kaula nylon, a ʻo ka alahaka paʻa ʻia me ke kāpili.

Ma ke ʻano he ʻohi ʻoiaʻiʻo o nā mea kahiko kahiko, ʻokoʻa a maʻalahi hoʻi, ua pale ʻo Kurt i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea hana hou. ʻAʻole au i haʻi i ka nui o nā kīkā ʻē aʻe āna i hoʻokani ai: ʻelua mau kīkā Telecaster i hoʻololi ʻia a me nā Mustangs ʻē aʻe (ʻo ka hapa nui o ka '69 model i ʻike ʻia no kona ʻike ʻana i ka wikiō "Smells Like Teen Spirit"). ʻO nā kīkā Mosrite Mark IV a me Fender XII (ua luku ʻia ʻelua me nā hoʻopaʻa leo home a me nā diaries a Kurt i hūnā ai i loko o kona lumi ʻauʻau e pale ai mai ka poʻe pōā - ua hoʻopiha ʻia lākou i ka wai).
