Kurt Cobain playing using only the neck of the guitar

Nirvana - 1994-02-25 - Milan, Italy

Strumming over the neck smooths out the sound between strums.

kurt could be scratching his balls and y'all would see it as a genius move istg

I love how he doesn't even now music theory or even knows how to play the guitar too well but still makes phenomenal music. That's art.

[OxygenH]

Kind of stuff you usually try when you jam alone in your room but he does it live😂

[DirtyJ]

I miss that guy, I remember my first concert was Nirvana at Roseland 1993, he wore that red n black sweater amazing show, Nirvana was such a huge influence of the time and my life

[slipbiz]

That's usually how I play the guitar. Not on purpose. But when I get into I find myself strumming the neck.

[redpractition]

you can usually tell the difference between kurt in 1993 and kurt in 1994 by if he's wearing a beanie and a 3XXL button up shirt you would wear to church

[guitaraholic]

He could write the heck out of a catchy song

[Colonel]

Kind of like the way he played the teen spirit solo in the music video. Pretty cool hat too. Long live Nirvana, Long live Kurt Cobain

[Okayzy]

He’s doing an impression of me bruh I play on the neck and my hair looks just like that when I wear a beanie like wtf.

Somehow I don't see a comment about Everybody Hurts by REM which I'd say is most well known song about being suicidal. And their Let Me In which is a tribute to Kurt Cobain. The distorted melody just translates to the noise you have in your head when you're depressed so well.

[chadpittman]

He is showing his displeasure of being there

[robertoargiolas]

Era più che altro "un trucco" che usava spesso Kurt, plettrando il più lontano possibile dal pickup :) un mito

[phoenixxtheory]

Yeah thats where all the traditional chords live :)

[davidhall]

Kurt hired Pat so he could go through the motions with the guitar so he could focus on the vocals. While giving Pat a job, while he was working for his money.

[NOWtheband]

Ok. That's not an unusual thing for a guitarist to do but that's a nice song anyway.
:-)

[joeymiller]

Omg! So inventive! No one's ever played guitar like that before 🙄

[jugadorloco]

Todo un genio y ese en vivo creo que era del año 1994 cuando estaban en Italia Milan si no me equivoco ._.

[richortega]

Trying to sing about girl is hard, kurt makes it look so effortless and easy
