So take this video, and ignore the vocals. It's clearly a Nirvana song just based on the guitars.

So what type of guitars are creating this sound? I can play the acoustic guitar but can't replicate the sound they make, nor have I heard any other band that really does either. What's the trick?

Just make garbage music

The pedal, amp and tuning. Maybe about 3 months of no bathing and an unhealthy drug habit while dating a whore in another punk band

I came into this topic thinking it would be about pedals and stuff but it's just an acoustic guitar dude, there's not much than that. Just get a good guitar and play the song correctly.

I have a good acoustic guitar and can play decently, but I can't replicate that sound.
