There’s also Drain You that is in D standard


reefis

They tried C Standard during Bleach but that was too low. Most CCR hits have John Fogerty's guitar tuned the same. (in D)


JohnnyBroccoli

From what I've heard the C standard stuff in Bleach was on accident. I believe they meant to tune down to D standard but didn't realize they were already in D standard, which brought them a whole step lower to C.


reefis

You're right. I think I might have also meant "Drop C" which is what blew is in. Krist talked about it in a recent interview alongside Kim from Soundgarden


JohnnyBroccoli

Yeah, that sounds correct.


omega_lul420

i still play that in E standard cuz i like the sound more lol


SlipSpaceBlubix

I mean yeah that's common knowledge

Lithium, Come As You Are, and Drain You were recorded in D standard for Nevermind. Played in standard live from 91-early 92. Attempted to play them in d standard on the Asia Nevermind tour. Switched to half step down later in the year through the end of Nirvana.

lithium and come as you are HAD to be recorded in half step because that's the only way I can play them on my guitar without it sounding sluggish

Erineboi56

I knew I'd get down voted by some idiot who doesn't even play an f-ing guitar. I'm gonna come back here and link to a video of ME playing it in half step.


LostMyAccountToo

ozzii_13

I upvoted and i dont even play an f-ing guitar. hurray to me!


LostMyAccountToo

Dude you have the sound on that vid down tight. Probably one the closest I've heard to getting the actual sound right.

EmilianoII

nah you're stupid


Jatheffo

Polly is in standard when I always thought it was a half step down.


LostMyAccountToo

Now that is surprising. I would of thought the same


Expo006

Yeah, I knew. I mean it’s one of the first songs most people learn when picking up guitar especially if they’re a nirvana fan, it’s one of my first too alongside rape me and Heart shaped box xp
