Kurt’s genius lay in his gift for Melody. His lyrics often served no other purpose than to support the melody, same with his popularly supposed simplistic guitar technique. But the ability to take those simple things and arrange them in ways that create songs that reach into the stratosphere evince Kurt’s true artistry. He was one of a kind.

Kurt Cobain gave guys like me back in the day hope as a guitar player. Before Nirvana there was Metallica and Guns and Roses. Those guitar players were shredders and I was just starting out on a guitar and it felt like it was gonna take me forever to sound like my heros. Then came Cobain and he changed the playing field, suddenly making me feel like I could achieve a more attainable goal haha. Unfortunately I sorta learned a lot of Nirvana songs and decided i was good enough until the late 90s and then realized it was time to start stepping up my game again. Sorry about the sports puns haha, I'm actually not really into sports.
@joshhayes29874 жыл бұрын
Kurt is a criminally underrated guitarist. I think his "sloppy" style was intentional to a degree, and it added so much to his and Nirvana's sound. He wasn't an insanely good player from a technical standpoint, but that's nowhere near what he was trying to do or wanted to be. His sense of melody was unmatched, and his guitar writing highlights that, and his playing style gave the music so much unique character too. Nobody can play or write quite like Cobain, and if that, along with the amazing music he gave us, doesn't qualify him as a great guitarist, I don't know what would.
@patrickfoster45862 жыл бұрын
Well said. People that want to measure Kurt against guys like Vai or Yngwie just don't get it and likely never will. To Kurt playing guitar was a means to an end- and that end was creating absolutely beautifully brilliant original songs. Something none of the shred kings seem capable of delivering anyway.

Kurt was a great guitarist for the simple reason that he was a fantastic composer, writer, and artist. Love it or hate it, his creativity speaks for itself. People boast “it’s easy to play!” but they never ask themselves “could I create such groundbreaking music that changed the whole music scene?” Of course, the answer is NO! He was a musical revolutionary and he killed 80’s glam rock hair metal garbage! Besides, us fans don’t give a single flying fuck what anyone thinks of him or his music!

On that first technique he demonstrates, you can see Kurt doing it at it's finest in the song In Bloom. The entire solo is him doing that crazy long slow bend into a frantic vibrato the entire time and uses maybe 4 or 5 notes the entire solo and it's still one of the most difficult solos to replicate EDIT: Well, guess I should of waited until he demonstrated the next technique and mentioned In Bloom like I did... better to edit and not get called out and not delete my comment.. lol

As a guitar player I'd say his 'mistakes' and 'bum' notes were all intentional because it made the songs sound punkier and better for the intended vibe.

Never really listened to nirvana too much but funny enough I've been doing a lot of these techniques because I'm the only guitar player in my band and I had to do something to spice up the sound and make it sound bigger and more entertaining.

I love the way you explain kurt's technique as a more studied/learned guitarist. it provides some insight into their musical intuition that you can't appreciate just by copying it or hearing it. i'm going to play some kurt riffs now! i've only played do re mi because it's very dear to my heart. talk about simple chord structure becoming incredibly creative!

I have always respected Kurt as a person. He wrote and played from his heart and didn't care what anyone thought of him. He was never ashamed or let pride/ego get to his head. After becoming famous, most people tend to buy expensive clothes and other material items, but he stuck to his roots and continued being who he was. He was even one of the first to acknowledge minorities, mental illness and bullying. I believe he helped bring those topics to light. He may not be the best guitarist, but he wasn't trying to be. Comparing guitar players is so silly to me. How can you say Kurt sucks at guitar because he's not Steve Vai or someone else? That makes no sense. Can't people just listen to different artists without making comparisons? Furthermore, as a guitarist myself, one of my entry level guitar players I could learn from was Kurt. His riffs are simple enough to mimic and satisfy a beginner player. A lot of potential guitarists can get easily discouraged if the only people they can learn from are so advanced that it would take years to play them correctly. For Nirvana (and a few others) though, being able to hear a familiar come out from your fingers sends a wave of reassurance down your spine. I've taught new players some riffs and as soon as they can play them, it is amazing seeing their face light up with joy knowing what they can do.
