Come As You Are Riff Lesson by Nirvana

Welcome to my Come As You Are riff lesson by Nirvana. This is more of bass lesson but this was one of the first things I learned to play on my guitar that I found fun and enjoyable. This bass line is played for a very good portion of the song, so you can really get a lot out of it. It only requires you using a couple of the bass strings on the guitar and a few frets.

Now I will warn you that this video is old. I mean 2011 old and I had only been teaching guitar for a year. Can you believe it! So the video might be a little grainy but the content still very good. You also get a sneak peek into my original home studio that I used to teach out of. Pretty cool.

Anywho, enough about me. Take a listen to the video below to learn how to play Come As You Are by Nirvana. This is my most watched video tutorial on YouTube the way so it must be pretty decent. And don’t forget to leave a thumbs up or comment below the video in support. Really appreciate it!
