I am sure he knew the basics of music theory enough to write music. He listened to a lot of music and learned A LOT of pop songs over time it probably became second nature to him. He also had a very high “AESTHETIC” and “TASTE” which is something a lot of musicians lack. A lot of musicians struggle to balance their artistic and player sensibilities. That’s the real difference between the amateurs and pro’s. By pro’s I mean actual artists NOT session musicians.
Kurt was the King...of downplaying himself and modesty. He practiced his ass off for hours on end. I love how he tries to sell that. But because of that attitude, he influenced A LOT of kids to just go for it. Myself included. I only learned by ear and watching his hands. I truly believed lessons would ruin my creativity. It's both helpful and limiting in that sense.
Ask a magician to reveal his magic 🤷🏻♂️ Uh , i dont know 🤔 major , minor , Dorian , i dont know He knows , he was just playing dumb because thats what you do when asked a dumb question

I think what kurt means by not knowing chords is just that he’s not bothered to learn them, and just plays what sounds good to him.
4:32 nah he was being honest. Every punk musician is about on this level. It’s by ear, he’s just saying that.

He loves to say Dorian 😂 seriously he probably did practice tabs, everyone does. He knows all the terms, minor, arpeggio… so he knew about them.
