No problem, I would of killed to see him preform live with that guitar! I'm a huge fan haha, I so happen to be lucky and live extremely close to his Carnation property back in the woods near Tolt Highlands, where Kurt and Courtney spent times almost reclused either slamming heroin or to spend with their newborn Frances. I've seen a picture of him sitting in the living room of his cabin, presenting a kitten to baby Frances when she's in her crib with a background of a dense forest through a window. Man.... It's just absolutely fucking beautiful back here in the woods of Carnation! I mean the main reason we bought our property back here is pretty much the same for why Kurt and Courtney did in June of 1992... To Get Away From All The Calamity and Drama That Happens Daily In Seattle... Hahah! But in the end, Nirvana's always been a huge staple (music and personality wise), to all my friends and I growing up in the Snoqualmie Valley. Not to mention all the countless others who have an outstanding appreciation for the Seattle music scene and the State of Washington itself!

The commenters here who seem to love to point out Kurt's lacking technical guitar playing ability don't seem to understand how music works. Kurt Cobain may not have been a "good" guitar player (the term "good" is an opinionated word and thus isn't a good choice for describing something to other people) but he created sounds that people liked and that's all that really matters. The term "music" isn't based on skill or even whether or not it sounds "good" to someone, and really, is there such a thing as guitar playing skill? You can play guitar anyway you want, there is no wrong way as long as you're getting sound out of it. A guitar player having skill is based on one's own idea of what skill is. Think about it.
@markokecman117710 жыл бұрын

@markokecman117710 жыл бұрын
Yep. As a guitarist I know why "skill" is needed or why practicing is needed for good (better) guitar playing. Your hand muscles need time to develop so you would be able to play faster, more accurate and with a lot more emotion. Once again, his songs were great! His songs harmony is great but it's lacking in melody. He wasn't bad in terms that he couldn't play the guitar, he just couldn't improvise. There are ZERO improvisational songs by Nirvana. They created good but fairly simple music. It's like saying Bob Dylan is a great guitar player just because he wrote a bunch of good songs. There's a difference between a guitar player and a guitar virtuoso. It's one thing to compose music, and it's a completely another thing to play what you feel, to create music at the moment of playing. Kurt's solos were weak and pretty repetitive. They aren't solos, they are, as you said sounds or effects. He isn't playing what he feels at that moment, he's just trying to "add some flavor" to the song. All that can sound good, but you can't really call that improvisation. Other than those "effects" he mostly plays just chords of any particular song they were playing.
@TrogdorMan10 жыл бұрын
I never said I thought he was a good guitar player, in fact I said the opposite of that. My point was that what Kurt Cobain played was music, and that it doesn't take a lot of what people consider to be skill to make something that qualifies as music. There are many people who listen to music and don't play an instrument so they probably don't exactly know if something is challenging to play or not, the reason they like it is because they like the sound. I play guitar as well and I realize that it does require your definition of skill to play with feeling, (I can't necessarily do that, but I can fake it, as in I can make it have that sound and not feel the emotions) but really, that kind of playing with feeling doesn't quite apply to this genre of music, this isn't blues and when most people say play with feeling they mean to play in a bluesy fashion. When I play punk rock-type riffs I usually hit the strings harder than usual because I'm getting into the music, "feeling" it, if you will. If the feeling of a song is anger, shouldn't hitting the strings harder count as "playing with feeling"? Feelings (aka emotions) come in a wide variety so I don't see why one couldn't play with a feeling that wouldn't cause the player to contort their faces like Stevie Ray Vaughn. In the sense of actual emotions like I just described, Kurt played with plenty of feeling. Go look up a live performance of "Breed" and tell me that the "solo" in that song doesn't fit with the feeling of that song. It has a crazy kind of feeling and when Kurt gets down on the floor and starts making all that noise it sounds like it fits perfectly with the mood set up by the song. Anyways... as stated before, guitar playing skill is based on what one's own idea of skill is. I personally don't care for a lot of the guitar players that people consider to be the most skilled (for example, there's Steve Vai, Joe Satriani or Eddie Van Halen) because I don't think their music sounds good, however I do think Nirvana's music sounds good and that's the entire point, it sounds good to people and that is all that matters.
@markokecman117710 жыл бұрын
well... yeah... that's kinda what I thought in the first place, and yeah blues is the most "emotional" kind of playing, but you can play emotionally to any kind of music (Jimmy Page played emotionally always even though he played heavy metal, and so did Chuck Schuldiner and he played death metal).. but anyway we just agreed that kurt wasn't such a great player and that's it. His music was great, his playing so-so... And playing good is "skillful" playing, but playing something that "sounds good" is something different. Skillful playing isn't opinionated (to be able to play skillful you need years and years of practice), but if the player sounds good or not that's is opinionated and on that part I agree.

I think there are two main ways of creating guitar solos... One is focusing on the solo as the main thing, sometimes building the song to the "climax", which can be the guitar solo; and the other is building a good, catchy song and using the solo as a way of giving more power to this song by understanding its value. The second one is the way I think Kurt really mastered. Most lead parts in Nirvana's catalogue are based on highlight the base harmony/chords of noisy yet extremely catchy songs, made with pop sensibility - even when, ironically, attacking the so called "pop".

Kurt isn't a "skilled guitarist" by any means, he was really just playing what he felt. The stronger understanding you hold over that concept, the more his music, solos, or whatever you're analyzing will make sense. The reason he was in that "top 100 guitarist list" is because the dude had style and a unique artistic vision. Regardless of how you feel about Kurt's technical abilities, it's hard to deny that Nirvana had some kick ass, unconventional riffs

Vivian Volta Teen Spirit is the kind of song kids learn at school when first learning the guitar... The fuck are you talking about? If these critics on KZbin ever went to a musical school, they most definitely can sing Teen Spirit without much trouble, except for timbre, of course. Playing it, on the other hand, doesn't require skill at all. You could teach a non-musician to learn it within a couple of weeks, providing he has a solid sense of rhythm. As for the first sentence, I'll just stare silently due to sheer stupidity of that statement.

Amazing guitarist.. not for his technical ability (it's clear he is not highly skilled) but for his individual expression. In my opinion the highest level of musicianship is having your own unique "voice" with your instrument which KC had in spades along with the ability to create memorable melodies.

Cobain never tried or wanted to be a virtuoso, so stop criticizing him for not being one. He has many punk rock influences, and his playing shows it. He's not trying to impress anyone by playing technically sound passages, but he's trying to destroy the idea of it using his anti-solos.
@quietcrowd8 жыл бұрын
+mahlerite If that's the case, then I suggest not to look up to Kurt. If he never tried or wanted to be better at guitar, or in life, then why look up to him? Someone who actually cares would want to be and actually try to do better. In that case, he just seems to be really childish and really full of himself. Why does everyone make excuses for his terrible live solos? If he's not trying to impress anyone, then why didn't he just play simple solos? To fuck up the song by trying to play fast and sounding terrible to try to come off as an "anti-hero" is absolutely pathetic, and unprofessional, I bet some people in the crowd never wanted to go to another Nirvana show after seeing something like that. I don't see why nobody should criticize Kurt for not being a virtuoso, but everyone else seems to have the right to criticize actual guitar virtuosos(who spent years of practice, for hours a day, and gave their full potential to better themselves as guitar players), mainly by bashing them for being able to play fast, but back it up with the pathetic excuse that "playing fast has no feel", which isn't true, by the way, it's just something to feed the egos of those who can't play fast. In reality, feeling has no limit to how fast you play, or what techniques, modes, etc., that you use.

Besides, him not caring from your view is not his own view, nor is it my view of him. He actually did care, but not the way many people do. He cared about his music and was very passionate. This can be seen in his explosive performances, heard in his screams, and read in his writings. The man is a legend for many, but not a legend for all.

+Dan Butler I was born a year after he died, so no, I didn't know him personally, but I have watched interviews of him, and he comes off as a childish asshole sometimes, especially when talking about other musicians. He was quite open about his drug abuse, and throughout his life, even as a teenager, he was doing some pretty serious drugs that could've killed him much sooner, and last, but not least, it's quite well-known that he died from shooting himself(after watching Soaked In Bleach, I'm not so sure, though). Sure, he made good songs, but a lot of his improvised solos were quite embarrassing, nothing to really drool over, sorry, but you have to face the truth, he was a good songwriter, but a terrible lead guitarist, I have nothing against him, though.

+Dan Butler There is no excuse to purposefully play like shit in front of, literally, THOUSANDS of people, and not to mention being on heavy drugs while playing live. Those people paid for tickets, which were probably expensive, and came to see him perform, and he gives a show that disappointed some of the crowd. He was doing drugs because Aberdeen is a shit hole and there's nothing to do there? Wow, I've never heard of that, that's a new level of pathetic. He couldn't make plans with friends to go somewhere other than Aberdeen? I live in Virginia, and the city I live in is rich with history, but barely has anything to do(the downtown area is nice, though), but I'm not on drugs, I don't drink, and I don't smoke. Instead, I make plans with friends to go to Richmond or up north(mainly the Springfield area, where Dave Grohl grew up, and where I used to live), usually to go to shows. My point in that is, there's always something you can do, doing nothing and moping about it will result in nothing, and doing drugs will do nothing as well, in fact, it would make things worse. Sure, artists will have opinions on other artists, but it depends on what they say, and sometimes, they could come off as real pricks, and that includes Kurt. I understand he had depression, I've known that since I was a teenager, but after watching "Soaked In Bleach" recently, I'm not so sure if he was suicidal(I was bored one night and came across it), but that isn't an excuse for being an asshole and using heavy drugs, that would just make things worse. I actually do know a lot about the guy, and looking back on those facts about him, he really is kind of pathetic.

Now OUR music. Who ever thought screaming would work in rock? Back when Chicago and Crosby Stills Nash was popular no one. Then Kurt single handedly buried them. Motley Cru, Cinderella, Skid Row, Michael Jackson. A troubled kid with average guitar skills changed music virtually overnight. He handed rock and roll a bigger gift than many people realize.....something NEW! Something HONEST! And something BETTER!

To me, music is not about technical ability. Joe Satriani sounds like crap to me. He has all that ability, but his music sucks. Kurt was able to get more out of his guitar than his technical prowess would suggest. He played easy songs, easy riffs, easy......but GOOD. He had power. He wrote great songs and had pretty amazing control over his tones and feedback. People say he sucked at guitar, but I don't think thats right. He was a great guitar player, in his own way. Its like modern art. People can emulate him, but nobody can write the next Nirvana song. Some people get off on songs being complex and difficult to play because its impressive that the artist can actually pull it off. Other people just like listening to something that sounds good. Kurt Cobain is one of my top 10 guitar players for the power and weight he could throw around. From the floor to the ceiling and then smash you right back down again.

The main lesson to take form Kurt is: keep it simple, and do what feels right not whats “right”.

Cobain played a lot of different guitars, mostly Fender style to create innovative sounds akin to another Seattle area musician James Marshall Hendrix...the influences were always present and open ended in all live performances......Most commenters base their opinions on videos....I'm talking about live performances in the local area I enjoyed.....the first Seattle Nirvana concert I saw was on 9/19/1991 at the Beehive and the last concert I saw was 1/8/1994 at The Seattle Center...Kurt died on April 8, 1994 at his home in Medrona (Seattle) about 2 blocks from my sister Marilyn's house.
