Go figure! A few months back I was in a local music store and saw this young 15-ish looking boy playing the guitar intro to Alice Cooper's "Poison" on a Fender Strat. I walked up to him and shook his hand and thanked him for NOT playing that "Come as you are" or "Smells like Teen Spirit" bull**** like most people I hear his age play. Judging from the smile he gave me he knew exactly what I was getting at! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq4j1LtCdww

And yet Cobain expressed so much more with his meagre skills than those spandex wearing dudebros did with their godlike shred powers.
What good is it to be great at playing guitar if you're gonna use it to play crap?
