Cobain liked to claim he taught himself. But in reality he took his first few lessons from his Uncle Chuck.

Answer 2

He used many but some are: a Fender Mustang, a Fender Jaguar, a univox, a Fender strat and a fender jazzmaster. All of these were left handed. he also designed the Fender Jag-Stang.

Answer 3

The guitars he most often used are Fender Mustangs, Fender Jaguars, Fender Stratocasters, Univox Hi-Flyers and a Gospel Ventures Model. His first Electric Guitar was an Ibanez guitar his uncle bought for him.

Answer 4

Hey used a wide variety of guitars. For his actual playing he used mostly fenders, usually strats, jaguars, mustangs and sometimes his own creation the jag-stang which is the the mustang and jaguar hybrid. For destruction on stage he usually used whatever crap guitar he could find in thrift shops and or Japanease made fenders as they ae cheap and easy to throw a new neck on.

As for acoustics he used a thrift shop guitar to record nevermind with. And used a very high end model Martin acoustic for the unplugged sessions. The Martin however was a right handed version that he restrung and played left handed for obvious reasons.

This description is very brief. If its the sound you are trying to replicate quit now its almost impossible. The closest you will get is through playing a guitar through boss ds-1 cyclone phaser, chorus pedals ect.

Kurt's main guitars were Fenders: the Mustang and Jag-Stang. He also used Gibson Les Pauls, Fender Strats and Teles, and cheap pawn-shop guitars for his thrashing on-stage antics. Many of his guitars were custom and modified. He often used Vintage and hard to find models and makes.

He used a Mosrite Ventures guitar during the Bleach era. He destroyed it in the studio while recording "Endless, Nameless". He did buy a Univox Hi Flier to replace it later. The Univox is a copy of the Mosrite.

Answer 5

That is easy. Flannel, ripped jeans, converse, and a lefty guitar. If you'd like to act like him, however, you'd react with disgust at the idea of conforming to and trying to be exactly like some rock star idol rather than an individual, AKA yourself.

Answer 6

It depends on what you mean.. If you mean the guitar sound you have to get a grunge pedal and a certain guitar (Fender mustang,jaguar,or jagstang) if you mean voice you have to get voice lessons and tell them you want to sound like Kurt cobain

Answer 7

You don't
