Family Fued: Music Banter
Here's the rundown though. If you think Nick Drake and/or Elliot Smith are bad guitarists...
1. You are wrong - there are no points in their music where they are unable to play certain pieces. They are able to play exactly what they need to play.
2. You are listening to them for the wrong reasons - both are renowned lyricists, not guitarists
3. Elliott Smith is rated about right - He's one of the more influential artists of his time and is treated as such. And he's definitely not hyped up to the level of some notable Pitchfork Darlings.
