Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain of Nirvana fame was born on February 20, 1967 in Aberdeen, Washington. At the age of 14, his uncle asked him if he would prefer a guitar or a bike for his birthday. You can probably guess which one he went with! We bet some of you grew up to listening to their songs, which ranged from heavy metal to quieter songs. The band made a lot of hits that continue to be popular in this day and age. They are generally considered to be the pioneers of grunge, which is defined to be a fusion of rock and punk. Some of his biggest hits are “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “Heart Shaped Box”, and “All Apologies”.

John Lennon
John Lennon was born on October 9, 1940. Like the rest of The Beatles, he was also born and raised in Liverpool. We have another member of the popular band on the list, so look out. As the rhythm guitarist of the band, he could turn simple notes into a groove-worthy beat or a hypnotizing rhythm. The Beatles continue to be the best-selling band to have ever existed with almost a billion records sold worldwide. If you want to hear his guitar skills, try “Yer Blues”, “Help!”, and “Day Tripper”. This was how he described his understated guitar playing: “They call George the invisible singer. I am the invisible guitar player.”
