Everyone that's ever said "Kurt Cobain couldn't play guitar", please be prepared to eat your words.

All along, I always had a feeling that Cobain really could play guitar, but that he held back soloing in favour of songwriting.

And now I have the proof.

Check our "Heartbreaker" by Nirvana, from a 1987 concert. It's on the new Nirvana box set, "With the Lights Out".

Sure, he's not playing one of Paganini's Caprices, but he does play the bits of the breakdown solo and shows that he could play guitar beyond chords.
... and that's all I have to say about that.
