[QUESTION]”It gets in the way of originality” – Kurt Cobain on Playing the Guitar. So the question is Originality is better than Musicianship?

It’s in this article: https://www.loudersound.com/features/kurt-cobain-nirvana-guitar

But for the main thing for Kurt Cobain’s guitar play:

“I have no desire to become any better of a guitar player,” Kurt said in an interview with the German journalist Edgar Klüsener in 1993, footage of which can be found below. “I have no concept of knowing how to be a musician at all, whatsoever. I don’t know the name of chords to play, I don’t know how to do major or minor chords on a guitar. I couldn’t even pass Guitar 101. Everyone knows more than I do.”

“I’m not into musicianship at all, I don’t have any respect for it, I hate it,” Cobain continued. He said he had no inclination to learn how to read music or understand musical theory, seeing it as a waste of time. “It gets in the way of originality,” he opined.

It self explanatory but what do you all think?
