Both had a great deal of technical skill and wrote some of the most memorable rock riffs of all-time, but Hendrix was undoubtedly the more innovative guitarist.

I'm sorry, but Cobain wasn't necessarily good. Just because he's dead now, doesn't make him a legend. Have you ever tried to play one of Nirvana's songs on guitar? They're just very easy to learn and play.


My opinion of the best guitarist ever is going to Buckethead. He's different. He's mysterious and that's why I love him. He hides his true identity because he doesn't want to be known for anything else besides his music. He wants people to only see him for what he's good at. He's an EXCELLENT guitarist with a totally unique style.

Eric Clapton, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, Dimebag, The Edge, Cobain was okay, I guess, but not AMAZING. I also like Synyster Gates of Avenged Sevenfold. Back to Cobain, yes he was extremely influential and paved a new path for rock and grunge, but that wasn't just him, it was his band too. He's not the best songwriter or guitarists, but the lyrics and the genre still impacted so many teenagers and adults, actually just many people, forming a lot of bands in perspective. I'm sure many of the bands now-a-days wouldn't be recording right now if it weren't for Nirvana.

That or he just wears a bucket on his head as a cheesy
gimmick that people like you buy into.

I know, but I meant, people wouldn't think he was very good if he was in a different band, since his lyrics would most likely be different, but also because the other members of Nirvana made him sound better than he really was.

Just to clear things up, Cobain sucks at guitar, and songwriting, and most things for that matter.
Kurt Cobain does not suck at guitar.
Anyone who can create music that sounds as good as Nirvana must be good, regardless of how hard it is to play.

Yes. People only like Buckethead because he wears a bucket on his head.

Yeah. I'm just gonna go ahead and call that a really f*cking stupid thing to say.
