Kurt Cobain
Back to coursesBeginner Level
Welcome to our Kurt Cobain player study! It's fair to say that Kurt is not an obvious choice as the "guitar hero" that our player studies typically focus on, but trust me, he is a worthy inclusion. He is somewhat of the "anti-guitar-hero", and for that alone, he deserves a place in our Player Study hall of fame. Kurt Cobain is one of the most important influences to so many great, modern rock guitarists. Across the years, so many have said that "Come As You Are" is the first song they ever learnt on a banged-up old acoustic guitar, and this includes our wonderful tutor Franco.
Our fundamental focus here is to shine a light on the dark art of power chord riff development and how Kurt Cobain brings these chords to life
We're going to dive into the specifics we need to learn to get the Kurt Cobain sound. This includes the pedals, the theory, the alternate tunings
Kurt Cobain is certainly not your typical lead guitar player, and it's for exactly this reason that this unit will be so interesting to study.
The structures, the tunings, the rhythms, chords, soloing... Everything we have covered is beautifully demonstrated in this custom written Nirvana style track.
