good job. should make another one. smells like teen spirit solo is so good. underrated guitar player fer fucking sure. if you like melody and not finger wiggling
i don't listen them much. i also know they have no talent, or ever written nice guitar solos. when i saw the headline, i checked maybe there's a good guitar solo. result: dissapointment. besides, don't you ever listen stupid music when you're surfing, or walking in the street?
in bloom, heart shaped box, about a girl, and smells like teen spirit, need to be replaced with sifting, endless nameless, aero zeppelin, and scentless apprentice, because the ones you put in the video are easy to play and just his popular solos.
people try to say kurt wasnt a good guitar player but i think he was awesome just cause his solos sounded so trippy and so much like the riffs of the song
Great solo's come to life when Kurt Cobain plays them. All Nirvana's Guitar was awesome, and most of it was Kurt, because dave was the drummer, and Krist was the bassist. Nirvana rocks
guitarists play because they want fame and to make music. Real guitarists played because they were depressed. thats what kurt had and a little too much. R.I.P
I think there's quite a good agreement in the guitar community in that Kurt was actually not a good guitar player; in fact, the level of complexity of his songs is rather low. However, I think the merit of Kurt is that of putting lots of crap together that would sound fairly good in the end. It is in this sense that this video actually makes no sense.
However, it is my belief that the true value of Nirvana is in their originality, creativity, sensibility, passion, conviction, social role, etc.
i must say, IN BLOOM solo is the greatest.. cos i think its hard to fill solo melody with chord progression like that song, especially with grunge soul. Its little easier when you fill it with brian may solo style or zappa style, but it doesn't fit with the song and nirvana's character. I hope u know what i say ^^ .. But overall, nirvana's songs are full of soul, we all agree with that. :)
a guitarist that he reminds me of is George Harrison sorta because George didn't need huge flashy hammer-on solos to make the song better and thats how Kurt is. hes not an AMAZING guitarist like Van Halen or Pete Townshend but he definitely gets the job done. George had a great feel to his solos and so does Kurt.
@TheAppieJj i used to feel sad and sometimes still do but only when i hear sad stories about his life then listen to a sad sing like something in the way but if you do that you're only setting yourself up to fail, try listening to in bloom or lithium
well done for appreciating that! kurt used his guitar like it was a from of art, expressionism. he never really did many conventional solo's, which i loved. many people shred the art out of a solo where as feedback and keeping it simple can totally justify a song and the emotion. well done again!
Rolling stones is far from being a reference, really. Digital Dream Door's list makes more sense, but playing guitar is the only sure way to fully appreciate how good other guitarists are.
there's no denying kurt was a brilliant singer/songwriter, but to me he was an average guitarist (maybe just above average). he did deliver brilliant riffs, but his solos were mostly sub-par (i really like in bloom though, and school sounds pretty good)
Kurt Cobain wasn't a very good guitarist. He knows how to play, no doubt, but to call him your favorite guitarist is just plain ignorant. If you want a good guitarist, turn to Jerry Cantrell or Mike McCready. Kurt's talent was different. It wasn't his guitar, but his melodies and lyrics. His music and lyrics captured the feelings of depression and aggression like no other. Of course, Alice and Chains and Pearl Jam did this very well too. Kurt's talented, but shouldn't be mentioned with Kendrix..
@NevasterDarkness Music shouldnt have a tick-all-the boxes when it comes to musicianship. Its all about sound, not how many/how fast/how this that and the other, its purely sound and arrangement. Kurt did what he felt was needed and no more or less was required.
That's very true, I will not deny that, but he wasn't exactly able to do more. Take a look at John Frusciante. He could play a simple solo like Scar Tissue, and then completely go all out on Dani California. Then there are minimalists like Tom Morello. While he couldn't exactly solo traditionally, he was unbeleivably creative. Kurt couldn't really do more than Come As Your Are. I agree with you though, musicianship is about what sounds best.

im not sure how this is a solo, im not hearing any lead guitar! its all rythem guitar! Nirvan is the worst thrash band ever! thrash more like trash band! THIS SHIT BLOWS A MAD AMOUNT OF DICK
kurt cobain was 1 of the best singers best song writers but he was not the best guitarist, BEFORE U HIT THE THUMBS DOWN BUTTON!!! listen to this i bet kurt could never play like slash GNR or mettalica, but i bet they could never play like kurt either. Kurt Cobain was a 1 of a kind R.I.P. kurt cobain
codehendrix is right, its the feel and passion of the music that makes someone a great guitarist, and Kurt had feel in EVERY single song, no matter what album, Kurt is under looked as a guitarist, Kurt didn't want to show off, he wasn't about that, he was about writing melodies too took people into the song, which he did. It doesn't matter how simple a song is, its about if it sounds good. Like the solo to School, he could dish out a good solo! Kurt is one of the few worthy of holding a guitar.
u cant compare nirvana and the foo fighters because they r 2 totally different bands with totally different styles and kurt was an amazing guitarists and one of the best song writers definately because who else do you know that could write "my mother died every night, its safe to say dont quote me on that" and put it in a song
I don't like this list. Not offense, but you've got all of his easy solos from the mainstream albums and thrown them together. I'll tell you one of Cobain's best solos: Aero Zeppelin
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL Kurt is no where near the top 2000 greatest guitarists. He was horrible. Those solos aren't really solos they are just transition riffs and filler.
He couldn't play for shit. He could only keep a steady 3 or 4 power chord progression.
so u say kurt cobain isnt a good guitar player... do u know how fucking stupid you sound thats a disgrace to the ramones, the pixies and grunge music. and second of all no offense to the foo fighters but they arent and never will be even close to nirvana as far as musical talent goes
how can u compare nirvana to th e foofighters, ... do u know how fucking stupid that sounds, and as far as comparing artists, there just merly influences, kurt was a creative genius leave it at that,
Kurt understood that sometimes less is more, being a great guitarist is more than shredding or seeing how fast you can play. His simple style is actually quite innovative.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no he's not. he didn't do anything original or ground breaking on the guitar like the gods from the 60s and 70s did with ease. i don't why people are so obsessed with cobain as a guitarist, just not that good
Well, I thought Sappy was Nirvana's best ever solo... well all of the different improvizations of Kurt playing Sappy's solos were amazing... as well as Span Thru's solo from Muddy Banks was sick... and... Breed? lol... any Nirvana solo was sick... besides Come As You Are which was awesome and original but... not enough but was enough... weird...
A solo doesn't have to be hard to be good. The Stairway to Heaven solo, which people think for some reason is the greatest solo of all time, is easy as shit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if thats what you gathered about my comment, thats ridiculous. he is a terrible guitar player-how do you NOT see that. listen to any solo.....terrible technique, never a scale, they never matched what he ever played. he sucked. seriously. his solos are awful.
nah dude, on there records he never showed his talent try to look up some live or rare solos of his, he's not my favorite, don't get me wrong but he is amazing.
Kurt Cobain...a very very underrated guitarist...put a lot of emotion into his playing...Nirvana rocked the 90s and they still rock today...My favorite band by far!
The reason Nirvana are completely epic is that they share the music with the fans, it's so easy to play and so simple, anyone can play it, and it still sounds epic.
He wasn't the best guitarist ever, but his riffs and the feeling of melody were the best ever. He put a natural feeling in his music and that was the key to be never forgotten, if you say he was a shitty musician or guitarist oh well, do some songs and make them popular or sound like Kurt's ones. Kurt is the man cause his music is a great influence of many people. His private life shouldn't interest us at all.
Why can't these faggots nowadays come up with guitar solos like this. I'm a hip hop dude so my opinion doesn't mean alot but I know good music when I hear it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I love this shit about Love killing Cobain and it not being a sucide and all. I wouldn't doubt it, but I can care less. This doesen't hide the fact that Cobain was a pretty shitty guitarist. Though the solo on 'School' is pretty cool, everything else is shit that I can fucking do.
thats the beauty about it man, it didnt have to be good musically, it just sounded good. Who cares if you have to be good or not to play it? Nobody, and at least its playable and not bullshit screamo. :D now sit down, roll up a joint, and listen.
Actualy, I think we can all agree that the number of copies an album sells doesn't exacly makes it good. Or we would have to face that Britney Spears kicks ass...
Still, the Nirvana song are quite simple and quite catchy. That's important in a band.
However, greatest guitar solos implies some realy kick ass solos and Nirvana just doesn't have them. Try compara them to Deep Purple's Sometimes I Feel Like Crying or even Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms...
actually kurt did kill himself. he escaped from the mental institution he was in, went driving, and then shot a gun through his head. that is all true and u cant say otherwise cuz no one else wouldve killed him
funny how you say that because the shotgun he used had no fingerprints on it. Watch the 10th anniversary video on his death. I dont think it should be filed under a suicide with so much evidence pointing against it. Even Cobain's grandfather, Leland Cobain, believes Courtney had something to do with it.
Their is strong evidence that Kurt Kobain could not of killed himself his was high on heroin and horse tranquilizes he wouldn't of been able to pick up a shotgun or hand gun.
true but the gun he used(a 12 gauge shotgun) was to long for him to pull the trigger unless he used his feet and his shoes were on when he was found. he shot him self in the left temple just so u no.
yeah but a lot of people have shotten them selves with shotguns, i hear it all the time on the news and they had it on oprah once, not like its impossible
true im not sayin its not possible expecially if the entry point was his mouth but it was "supposidly" his left temple so it makes the trigger farther away from his body.
lmfao, shut the fuck up u stupid bitch, ure really gonna try to tell me he wasnt in an institution, u dont evn kno how to fucking spell it, so shut the fuck up lmfao, yeah try to call me a retard
you shut up you peice of bloody fucking shit he was NEVER in a mental ANYTHING it was fucking rehab you retarded peice of monkey SHIT FUCKING KILL YOURSELF YOU DAMN ASSHOLE BITCH

Sorry , this isn't soloing...
These are guitar licks.
A good guitarist isn't exacly the one who plays fast, but there's the melody, the technique and maybe the speed although this one is secondary. Look at B.B. King for an example. HE doesn't shred but his solso are amaizing.
Soloing is much more complex than whatever Nirvana used to do, it's not because they are simple. It's because they sound improvised, and are something that any noob could come up with. Sorry but it's what I think.
if any "noob" could come up with it then they would sell more then 50 million records. And anyway, his solos aren't very improvised because he basically solos the same way live as he does on record.
Probably another off the top of my head would be The Man Who Sold The World (acoustic ver. on Unplugged in NY). Little somewhat solo jam that begins after 2nd chorus til the end of song.
I would say that In Bloom (Nevermind version) is my favorite. Others after that in no particular order would be Blew (Bleach version),Serve The Servants (In Utero version), Sappy (No Alternative CD version)which was released on CD's hidden track as Verse Chorus Verse. These 4 would definately be included in my top 5 anyway.
oh,sorry,there were hair bands,low horsepower supercars,the explosion of cocaine use and the wet look,yeah,the 80's were deffinetly great...:/ and no,I wasnt.
He have good solos, with very good musicality. In my opinion is not so good like Jerry Cantrell, Mike Mcredy or Mark Tremonti but best that many guitarrist which their fans (I will not say who are them, but I think that everybody knows who they are!) think that for they use a lot of technics and play very fast are good guitarrists, basically they do only one thing: noise! GRUNGE AND KURT FOREVER

Kurt Cobain...a very very underrated guitarist...put a lot of emotion into his playing...Nirvana rocked the 90s and they still rock today...My favorite band by far!

The reason Nirvana are completely epic is that they share the music with the fans, it's so easy to play and so simple, anyone can play it, and it still sounds epic.

Kurt wanted to write easy songs i heard in an intervirw
SkaterFippe4 3 years ago 2
He wasn't the best guitarist ever, but his riffs and the feeling of melody were the best ever. He put a natural feeling in his music and that was the key to be never forgotten, if you say he was a shitty musician or guitarist oh well, do some songs and make them popular or sound like Kurt's ones. Kurt is the man cause his music is a great influence of many people. His private life shouldn't interest us at all.

all good for people to say " oh thats easy i could do that" but the key is to write such catching and cool solos not just to play them

His Verse Chorus Verse solo is my favorite.

Why can't these faggots nowadays come up with guitar solos like this. I'm a hip hop dude so my opinion doesn't mean alot but I know good music when I hear it.

I love this shit about Love killing Cobain and it not being a sucide and all. I wouldn't doubt it, but I can care less. This doesen't hide the fact that Cobain was a pretty shitty guitarist. Though the solo on 'School' is pretty cool, everything else is shit that I can fucking do.
TheElusiveBirdMan 3 years ago
thats the beauty about it man, it didnt have to be good musically, it just sounded good. Who cares if you have to be good or not to play it? Nobody, and at least its playable and not bullshit screamo. :D now sit down, roll up a joint, and listen.

Still waiting to hear a solo...
nemesis6014 3 years ago
Actualy, I think we can all agree that the number of copies an album sells doesn't exacly makes it good. Or we would have to face that Britney Spears kicks ass...
Still, the Nirvana song are quite simple and quite catchy. That's important in a band.
However, greatest guitar solos implies some realy kick ass solos and Nirvana just doesn't have them. Try compara them to Deep Purple's Sometimes I Feel Like Crying or even Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms...

actually kurt did kill himself. he escaped from the mental institution he was in, went driving, and then shot a gun through his head. that is all true and u cant say otherwise cuz no one else wouldve killed him
Us3rnAm31245 3 years ago
funny how you say that because the shotgun he used had no fingerprints on it. Watch the 10th anniversary video on his death. I dont think it should be filed under a suicide with so much evidence pointing against it. Even Cobain's grandfather, Leland Cobain, believes Courtney had something to do with it.
Jackmonster3231 3 years ago
Their is strong evidence that Kurt Kobain could not of killed himself his was high on heroin and horse tranquilizes he wouldn't of been able to pick up a shotgun or hand gun.

thats the biggest bull shit i evr heard, no matter how much shit ure on u can still pick up any gun and shoot ureself in the face?
MEFPRP 3 years ago
true but the gun he used(a 12 gauge shotgun) was to long for him to pull the trigger unless he used his feet and his shoes were on when he was found. he shot him self in the left temple just so u no.
NO4Q2 3 years ago
yeah but a lot of people have shotten them selves with shotguns, i hear it all the time on the news and they had it on oprah once, not like its impossible
MEFPRP 3 years ago
true im not sayin its not possible expecially if the entry point was his mouth but it was "supposidly" his left temple so it makes the trigger farther away from his body.

Sorry , this isn't soloing...
These are guitar licks.
A good guitarist isn't exacly the one who plays fast, but there's the melody, the technique and maybe the speed although this one is secondary. Look at B.B. King for an example. HE doesn't shred but his solso are amaizing.
Soloing is much more complex than whatever Nirvana used to do, it's not because they are simple. It's because they sound improvised, and are something that any noob could come up with. Sorry but it's what I think.
avanara 3 years ago
if any "noob" could come up with it then they would sell more then 50 million records. And anyway, his solos aren't very improvised because he basically solos the same way live as he does on record.

Probably another off the top of my head would be The Man Who Sold The World (acoustic ver. on Unplugged in NY). Little somewhat solo jam that begins after 2nd chorus til the end of song.
DT24K 3 years ago
I would say that In Bloom (Nevermind version) is my favorite. Others after that in no particular order would be Blew (Bleach version),Serve The Servants (In Utero version), Sappy (No Alternative CD version)which was released on CD's hidden track as Verse Chorus Verse. These 4 would definately be included in my top 5 anyway.

He have good solos, with very good musicality. In my opinion is not so good like Jerry Cantrell, Mike Mcredy or Mark Tremonti but best that many guitarrist which their fans (I will not say who are them, but I think that everybody knows who they are!) think that for they use a lot of technics and play very fast are good guitarrists, basically they do only one thing: noise! GRUNGE AND KURT FOREVER
