"Nobody dies a virgin... Life fucks us all" Kurt Cobain Hi guys! I'll be here and respond every comment in next few hours, so feel free to type me whatever you want. I also added a link to tabs, backing tracks and guitar sound presets I made for this video and you can get and try it. If you like it then visit my Patreon page where I'm trying to get my own camera but you can get tabs, backing tracks, guitar presets and other cool stuff: goo.gl/eFdK3g

Kurt was a good guitarist. It is not always about how perfect your technique is. He played with “incorrect” technique yet still sounded amazing. Another thing that sets him apart is his expert rhythm. If you listen to “heart shaped box”, it has an extremely unnatural pause that most people mess up. Do not call him bad unless you play guitar.

And we realized Kurt doing that while singing so greatly

And they say Kurt Cobain didn't know play guitar 😒 Kurt was a musical genius 🔥 No band can be like Nirvana. Case closed.

Obviously I already know Nirvana, but this channel is great. Guitar is like my favorite element in songs, so whenever I want to find a new band I can just come watch your videos and decide if it sounds heavy or cool enough. Makes things a lot easier for me haha.

I see we have another “fuck Teen Spirit” way of thinking. Smells Like Teen Spirit is definitely a top 10 Nirvana riff. Fuck how easy it is or how over played it is... fact is it’s an amazingly catchy/easy riff that changed rock. Cobain even stated he doesn’t hate it contrary to the numbskulls who say he did. He mentioned he doesn’t want it taking focus away from the other songs he put a lot of effort into such as Drain You which he thought was just as good or better. I would take Rape Me off and put SLTP in it’s place. But thankfully Aneurysm got highlighted and also Serve the Servants. Unless this is just a guitar list then Lounge Act or Sliver should definitely be up there.
