Indlela uKurt Cobain aguqule ngayo isiginci sakhe

Muva nje ngiqale ukulalela i-Nirvana futhi ngabona ukuthi umsindo weziginci ezingomeni zabo zihlukile kulokho ojwayele ukukuzwa emabhendini esimanje. Lokhu kubonakala ikakhulukazi ekuqaleni kwengoma ethi "Rape Me".

Angiyena umuntu owazi ngomculo futhi ngingabonga kakhulu uma othile engachaza ukuthi u-Kurt Cobain wasishintsha kanjani isiginci sakhe ukuze athole umsindo oyingqayizivele kangaka?

Ingabe amanye amalungu ebhendi ngaphandle kuka-Kurt enze izinguquko ezifanayo kumathuluzi awo ukuze afinyelele lo mphumela? Uma kunjalo, yiziphi?

UMathewu Russell : Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi esikhathini esiningi sokuba khona kwayo, i-Nirvana yayiyiqembu elingaziwa nelimpofu. Ngakho-ke, bazama ukulondoloza ngangokunokwenzeka ekuthengeni imishini. Izinsimbi zabo zazizinhle kodwa zingeyona ikhwalithi ekhangayo futhi cishe zazisetshenziswa.

U-Kurt usedlale iziginci ezihlukahlukene impilo yakhe yonke. Wayevame ukubonakala ne iStratocaster eyenziwe nguFender.

Isigingci se-Jagstang esidume kakhulu, esihlanganisa izimfanelo ze-Jaguar neziginci ze-Mustang. Uvezwe esithombeni esingezansi, esenziwe nguCobain:

Wasebenzisa nezinye iziginci, njenge-Univox, ikhophi ye-Mosrite. Lokhu kufakazela ukuthi noma yisiphi isiginci singazwakala njengesiginci sikaKurt Cobain uma sidlalwa uKurt Cobain. Abashayi besiginci bavame ukuthi konke kuncike ekutheni ubani odlala isiginci, futhi ngokwezinga elithile lokhu kuyiqiniso.

I-Jaguar ne-Mustang guitar yayingadumile kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi, njengoba wonke amaqembu ayezama ukulingisa ama-giants afana noVan Halen noma i-Guns & Roses, abasebenzisa izinhlobo ezihluke ngokuphelele zezinsimbi. Kungenxa yalesi sizathu ukuthi iziginci ze-Fender ezisetshenzisiwe zingathengwa ngentengo ephansi kakhulu.

Ukuguqulwa okuyinhloko uKurt akwenza kuziginci zakhe kwakuwukufaka i i-humbucker esikhundleni se-standard single amakhoyili. Umsindo okhiqizwe nge ama-humbuckers ngokuvamile inamandla kakhulu, igcwele futhi inokugcizelela okuphinyiselwe phakathi. Zinobukhulu obuphindwe kabili single amakhoyili (qhathanisa ubukhulu bomnyama i-humbucker ku-Stratocaster enama-pickup amabili amhlophe avamile ezithombeni ezingenhla), ngakho-ke ukubeka a i-humbucker esigincini esenzelwe single ukusetshenziswa kwekhoyili kungadinga ukuthi unogada ophezulu akhishwe emzimbeni wesiginci, noma asike idekhi ngokwayo.

Ukuguqulwa okunjalo kwenziwa kuJaguar kaKurt (osesithombeni ngenhla), kodwa akukwenziwanga nguye, kodwa umnikazi wangaphambili wesiginci. Kwesinye isikhathi uKurt wayesebenzisa ama-pickup we-Seymour Duncan Hot Rails - lawa ama-humbuckers kuncishiswe kusayizi we eyodwa -ikhoyili. Angafakwa kuziginci ze-Fender ngaphandle kwezinkinga. Uphinde wasebenzisa ama-pickup kaSeymour Duncan JB lapho umklamo wesiginci umvumela.

Ukuze uthole lo msindo, Kurt modified hhayi kuphela iziginci, kodwa futhi nezinye izinto zokusebenza. Ngithole ulwazi ukuthi I-Cobain yayingazimisele ngokukhetha imishini futhi isebenzisa izingxenye ezihluke kakhulu. Ohambweni, okokusebenza kwakhe okujwayelekile kwakuyi-preamp ye-Mesa Boogie kanye nezikhulisa-msindo ezihlukene ezihlukene. Lolu hlelo ludale izinkinga eziningi eqenjini lezobuchwepheshe, elalifuna ukukholisa u-Kurt ukuthi asebenzise okuthile okuthembekile.

Uphinde wasebenzisa i-BOSS DS-1 ne-DS-2, Distortion imiphumela yama-pedals, kanye ne-chorus yango-1970 Electro Harmonix Small Clone pedal. Ngosizo lwabo, wazuza umsindo "ontantayo", njengesibonelo, engomeni ethi "Woza Njengoba Ukhona". Ukuphazamiseka ama-pedals ama-footswitches ngokuvamile axhunywa phakathi kwesiginci kanye ne-amp.

Zisetshenziselwa ukushintsha kungazelelwe zisuka “emsindweni ohlanzekile” othulile ziye “komsindo ongcolile” omkhulu, onolaka, njengasethulweni ziye ku-“Smells Like Teen Spirit”. Zingasetshenziswa futhi ukukhiqiza "umsindo ongcolile" ongaguquki kungakhathaliseki ukuthi i-amp ixhunywe ku-amp .

I-BOSS DS-1 pedal ingabonakala ngaphambili kwesithombe esingezansi. Ngingakwazi ukukuchazela ukuthi u-Kurt wawuthola kanjani lowo msindo wesigingci, kodwa angazi ukuthi usenza kanjani lesi sigqoko sekhanda ngenkathi edlala enye ye-Stratocasters yakhe eguquliwe.

Amasu ahlukahlukene asetshenziswa ngesikhathi sokurekhoda nawo abambe iqhaza. Isibonelo, indawo ye- umbhobho ku-studio kungathinta ikhwalithi yomsindo. USteve Albini, owasiza ukuqopha i-albhamu ethi In Utero, uqophe amabhendi ngesikhathi esisodwa, edlala egumbini elinabaningana. imibhobho . Le nqubo ikuvumela ukuthi uthole umsindo "oluhlaza" ongakwazi ukuzuzwa ngezinye izindlela, isibonelo, lapho amalungu ebhendi erekhodwa ngokwehlukana.

Indlela yokudlala ka-Kurt, noma kunalokho ukungabi nayo, nayo ibe nomthelela kumphumela wokugcina. Lokhu kusibuyisela embonweni wokuthi konke kuncike kumshayi wesiginci kuphela. UCobain wayekwazi izinto eziningi, kodwa wayengeyena umshayi wesigingci onekhono. Ekudlaleni kwakhe, wafaka umuzwa owengeziwe kunekhono: washaya izintambo kanzima, ethola umsindo oyingqayizivele. Akazange azame ukudlala ngesihluthulelo esifanayo namanye amalungu eqembu noma ahlale eshaya amanothi - konke lokhu kubonakale emsindweni wesiginci sakhe.

U-Cobain wasebenzisa izinto “ezingalungile” futhi wadlala ngobudlova. Wayegqugquzelwe izitayela ezifana ne-punk nezinye, kanye nedwala elalidumile ngaleso sikhathi, ngakho wayengafuni ukuthi isiginci sakhe sizwakale “sihlanzekile”, singenasici. Ubesebenzisa imishini engakwazi ukukhiqiza umsindo osezingeni eliphezulu ngisho noma uKurt efuna. U-Cobain wasebenza nomdidiyeli owayengenasithakazelo kumsindo "omuhle", ngakho wasiza umculi ukuba akhulise umsindo wesiginci esebenzisa izindlela ezihlukahlukene zokuqopha.

Leon Lewington: Nansi ingxoxo enhle lapho u-Kurt echaza ukuthi wawuthola kanjani umsindo oyingqayizivele: “U-Kurt Cobain egiyeni nokunye kungxoxo yakhe yakamuva nephephabhuku i-Guitar World.

Akekho eqenjini owayenake kakhulu ukuthi izinsimbi zabo ziculwa kanjani. Wonke umuntu wavele walalela isiginci sikaKurt. Akazange azihluphe ngesimo seziginci zakhe noma , zazishunwa kanjani noma izintambo zazikusiphi isimo.

UDylan Nobuo Little: Ngamafuphi, kwakuyizici eziningana ezenza umculo wakhe uhluke kakhulu. Okokuqala, wasebenzisa iziginci ezazingahloselwe ukudlalwa (uKurt wayekhetha i-Fenders engakhelwanga i-punk rock kanye Ukuphazamiseka ama-pedals , kanye ne-Jaguar, lapho i-Cobain evame ukuhlotshaniswa nayo, yakhelwe i-surf rock).

Okwesibili, ama-tonalties ayewadlala futhi enamandla kakhulu ama-humbuckers (bathatha ama-mids kangcono futhi babhekwa njengokufudumala nokugcwele) badale umsindo oyingqayizivele . Umsindo uphinde wathonywa yimishini esetshenziswayo kanye nesitayela sokudlala sikaKurt (ebesingajwayelekile kakhulu). Manje ake siqhubekele phambili ekuchazeni zonke iziginci ayezidlala (ngokulandelana kwezikhathi) kanye nezinye izinto azisebenzisayo.

U-Kurt wayeyinxele, futhi naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi iziginci zesandla sokudla zishibhile futhi kulula ukuzithola, wazama ukudlala iziginci ezingakwesokunxele kaningi ngangokunokwenzeka, njengoba zazifaneleka kakhulu isitayela sakhe sokudlala esinonya. Nokho, ngezikhathi ezithile wayesebenzisa iziginci ezilungisiwe zesandla sokudla ezinezintambo ezi-odwe kabusha, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi iNirvana iseyiqembu lasegaraji futhi kwakunzima ngabo ukuthola izinto ezidingekayo.

Ngalesi sikhathi, uKurt wasebenzisa izinto eziningi ezisetshenziswayo (ikakhulukazi amakhophi eFender neGibson), okubala I-Mosrite Gospel, i-Epiphone ET-270 kanye ne-Aria Pro II Cardinal, okube yiziginci zakhe eziyisipele. Isiginci esidume kakhulu salesi sikhathi kwakuyi-Univox Hi-Flyer, ikhophi ye-Mosrite Mark IV enesisindo esincane kanye nesimo somzimba esiyingqayizivele uKurt aqhubeka esisebenzisa njengoba nje i-Nirvana yaba ibhendi ethandwayo. Kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe, uthole futhi walungisa iziginci eziningi.

Kusukela ngo-1991, uKurt wancamela ukudlala iziginci zeFender. Ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe-Nevermind, ucule ngesigingci esishintshe kakhulu i-Fender Jaguar '65 sunburst esifaka umqaphi onamabala abomvu. Manje iziginci ze-Jaguar, neziginci ze-Jazzmaster ezifanayo, zibiza kakhulu, kodwa ngaleso sikhathi lawa mamodeli aseMelika ayengathengwa ngentengo ephansi. U-Kurt uthenge isiginci sakhe ngemali elinganiselwa ku-$500 e-LA Recycler.

Isivele ishintshiwe ngumnikazi wangaphambili (uMartin Jenner we-Cliff Richard kanye ne-Everly Brothers). Wayifaka ne-Dimarzio emibili ama-humbuckers (i-PAF-type ye-neck pickup kanye ne-Super Distortion bridge ), ibhuloho le-Schaller Tune-o-Matic elifana neziginci ze-Gibson, kanye nokulawula ivolumu yesibili.

Wajwayela leli sethi lezinto futhi waqhubeka nokulungisa iziginci zakhe zeFender ngendlela efanayo. Wabe eseshintsha ukushintsha okujwayelekile kokukhetha (iswishi enezindawo ezi-3) ngokushintsha inkinobho yezindlela ezintathu. Ngaphambi kwalokhu, wasebenzisa itheyiphu yokudonsa ukuze avimbe inshishi ukuthi ingashintshi indawo yayo ngephutha, njengoba evame ukusebenzisa isobunxele. bridge Phakamisa .

Kamuva, ngemuva kokuqopha ku-Utero, ungene esikhundleni seSuper Distortion i-humbucker nentandokazi yakhe uSeymour Duncan JB. Kuyaqapheleka futhi ukuthi akakaze asebenzise izingalo ze-tremolo futhi alungise ama-tailpieces azo, ekhulisa ukusimama nokunemba kokushuna kwesiginci. Ngaphezu kwalokho, zonke iziginci zakhe zazinamabhande e-Schaller, futhi amabhande ka-Ernie Ball ayemnyama noma amhlophe.

Wayehlale enama-Fender Stratocasters amaningana esandleni (iningi lawo lalimhlophe noma limnyama, kodwa elinye laligqame ilanga kanti elinye lalibomvu), elaliphulwa ngesikhathi samakhonsathi adumile eqembu. Zahlanganiswa eJapane noma eMexico futhi zazingezinye izindlela ezishibhile kumamodeli aseMelika.

Wabeka uJB i-humbucker kuzo zonke lezi ziginci. Kwesinye isikhathi kwakuba ngu-'59 Seymour Duncan noma lapho i-Hot Rails enkulu ingakwazi ukungena I-Strat . Ngemva kokuphihlizwa kwamaStrat, kwaqoqwa iziginci ezintsha (“Franken-Strat”) ezingxenyeni zazo. Isibonelo sesiginci esinjalo yisiginci esimnyama sonke se-Strat (esinomzimba omnyama, i-picguard, i-pickup engu-'59 nezilawuli, kanye nedecal ye-Feederz) enentamo ka-Fernandes Strat (eyangempela intamo kwaba ephukile).

Lokhu intamo yahlala inyanga kuphela futhi yathathelwa indawo i-Kramer intamo (ibhendi yazithwala ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuze zilungiswe). Cishe uKurt wayebathanda kangcono kunabo I-Fernandes ' izintamo (yize kwakuyizona ezitholakala kalula). Zonke ezinye izintamo kuma-Fenders akhe zazinama-rosewood fretboards, ayewathanda kakhulu kune-maple .

Phakathi nohambo lwase-Utero, isiginci sikaKurt esikhulu kwakuyiFender Mustang. Wayephethe eziningana zalezi ziginci, eyodwa ku-“Fiesta Red” ene-spare pickguard emhlophe nama-pickup amnyama, kanye nezinye ezimbili ku-“Sonic Blue”. Zazihluke kuphela ngokubukeka - enye ine-picguard enamabala abomvu nama-pickupu amhlophe, kanti enye yayinedekhi ebomvu ecwebezelayo kanye nama-pickupu amhlophe namnyama.

The stock bridge ithathelwe indawo ka-Gotoh's Tune-o-Matic kanye ne iveni eduze kwayo kufakwe uSeymour Duncan JB. Njengesigingci seJaguar, akazange asebenzise ama-pickup entamo (ngaphandle kokuqoshwa kwe-studio) futhi tremolo izingalo . I-Tremolo iziphethu sezishintshiwe kwafakwa amawasha ajwayelekile, kanye ne okuthungiwe isilungisiwe ukuze izintambo zidlule kuyo ngqo. Le sistimu ijwayeleke kakhulu kuziginci ze-Gibson.

U-Kurt uphinde waqala ukusebenza ne-Fender ukuze bakhe i-Jag-Stang, inhlanganisela yeziginci ze-Jaguar ne-Mustang ehlanganisa izimfanelo zakhe azithandayo: ibhuloho le-Tune-o-Matic, a i-humbucker yesokunxele bridge , ubude obufushane (isilinganiso esingu-24″ esifushane) kanye nomumo oyingqayizivele. isiginci uqobo lwaso. Kodwa-ke, wasebenzisa lesi siginci izikhathi ezimbalwa kuphela ngasekupheleni komsebenzi wakhe - uKurt wahlala ethembekile kuma-guitar e-Mustang. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi lonke iqembu bashuna izinsimbi zabo phansi ngesigamu isinyathelo.

Ngokudlala kwe-acoustic, u-Kurt wasebenzisa isiginci se-Epiphone Texan esine-pickup ye-Bartolini 3AV ekhiphekayo (ekhonjwe kalula ngesitikha se-“Nixon Now”) noma isiginci esingandile sango-1950 sika-Martin D-18E. Ingazwakala ku-albhamu ye-Unplugged In New York, kodwa njenge-electro-acoustic (ene-pickup ye-Bartolini 3AV, kodwa eseyakhelwe kusiginci ngokwaso), ayixhume ngama-pedals futhi umxube , ngakho-ke ayikwazi ukubizwa ngokuthi i-acoustic kuphela.

Zombili lezi ziginci bekungamamodeli angakwesokudla anezintambo ezihlelwe kabusha. Okuhlekisayo ukuthi isiginci asidlala ngesikhathi kuqoshwa izingoma ezithi “Polly” kanye nethi “Something In The Way” ku-albhamu ye-Nevermind sasisesimweni esibi kakhulu, kodwa akazange asiguqule nganoma iyiphi indlela noma ashintshe izintambo ku-albhamu. yona. Kwakuyi-Stella Harmony enezintambo ezingu-12 ayithenga ngo-$30 esitolo sokudla. Wayenezintambo zenayiloni ezi-5 kuphela, futhi bridge yayibanjwe nge-glue.

Njengomqoqi wangempela wezinsimbi eziningi ezindala, ezingajwayelekile nezishibhile, u-Kurt wakugwema ngokuqaphela ukuthenga izinto ezintsha. Angizange ngikhulume ngenani eliphelele lezinye iziginci azidlalayo: iziginci ezimbalwa ezilungisiwe zeTelecaster namanye ama-Mustang (ikakhulukazi imodeli ka-'69 eyaziwa ngokuvela kwayo kuvidiyo ethi “Smells Like Teen Spirit”). Iziginci ze-Mosrite Mark IV kanye ne-Fender XII (zombili zacekelwa phansi kanye nerekhodi lasekhaya kanye nedayari uKurt azifihla endlini yakhe yokugezela ukuze azivikele kubaphangi - zagcwala amanzi).
