nirvana songs are very easy to play..but its impossible to be able to stumble upon the rythems and notes to "every track"..

You don't always have to have amazing technique to be a good guitarist.

Kurt's playing is recognizable and even though it could be argued that it's simple, it's still powerful and very good.

Bob Dylan's a guy who is underrated as a guitarist. He mastered the basics and some of the "simpler" things that some new guitarists take for granted.

"You don't always have to have amazing technique to be a good guitarist. "

Change that to "You don't always have to have amazing technique to be a good artist. " and Ill buy it.

Curt was crap. He had the skills he needed to get his point across. Just barely.

Compare with Neil Young. Also, not a very good technical guitarist, but Young had style coming out the wazoo. Thats why he is considered to be good.

Granted, I would still rather listen to Nirvana than Satriani or one of those other 'tech-gurus' because I think Satch's music is way to 'sterile' to convey emotion.

Anyway, I am making no sense, so Ill give up.

i was just exagerating, i was just commenting on the striking similarities between their songs.
