@jomoterrell: Replying to @Cryar calling for a truce between the grassers and folkies and rockers. we can all appreciate a great riff #kurtcobain #acousticguitar #folkmusic
Go back and look at Bleach. Some of those riffs were CRAZY!

They can rag kurt when they can get as much of power chords as he did almost no one ever has

What makes a guitarist (or any musician) good imo is writing good songs. And great riffs beat solos every single time

he played for years there's no way he wasn't technically good he just sung while he played guitar so he couldn't make anything fancy

and like- kurt may have played a lot better than his music showed. sometimes musicians restrict what they play to match their genre or style
like billie joe armstrong- he could shred if he wanted to. there's songs and videos of him doing it. but he doesn't because that isnt what his music requires

Anyone who thinks that Kurt Cobain couldn't play the guitar doesn't understand the instrument as well as they think they do. Cobain is ranked #88 (i.e. Top 100) by Rolling Stone Magazine in its Top 250 Guitar Players of all-time list and deservedly so.

But he just riffed off the Beatles rubber soul album. Which is Ok, they riffed off older work. Good songwriters just rewrite the same beautiful melodies over and over.

he did genuinely have some technical ability though. you can't expect him to play anything crazy if he has to sing and play at the same time

it doesnt matter how you play as long as you have passion and song writing abilities

I'm sure Elliott played it much better

Kurt was songwriter, he didn't care about being the best.

That was a really nice take on All Apologies and I would like a full version of it please.

Tbh Kurt wrote such good parts that flowed that I’m convinced he knew quite a bit of guitar theory

Kurt was a fantastic guitarist. People that say that have only ever heard a few songs and judge based on zero knowledge of what he’s doing.

Kurt Cobain had this very unique way of playing very simple melodic guitar coupled with the odd and complicated,you can see plain sight influences, if you run drain you clean guitars with toned down vocals it's a Beatles song, theres no face melting 80's solos here no S.R.V showcase of brutal guitar talent,it was never in the guys vision for what they created

imo Kurt was an amazing guitarist for nirvana. he served the music perfectly and for grunge especially
not every guitarist is Greenwood or Gilmour. some genres need different abilities

Melodies that are so good they also become the guitar solo 🖤🌸♒️

Lots of people make this same mistake that Kurt was not a good guitarist or had no idea what he was doing when it came to writing or even his gear when in reality he was very particular about both.

I say this all the time... "just because it is hard to do and is technical, doesnt mean it sounds good" that slow simple melody extracts such emotion and is will permeate my brain for the rest of my life. That shred sweep picking 200bpm "oh cool" forgotten

eh. I thought he was a genius when I was a teen but he stole a lot of melodies. he has some originals sure and his vocals are all his I think. I suppose there is a genius to how he accomplished what he did, but his appearance (he was beautiful) also helped a lot.
