AlfredKurt Cobain Journals (Book)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A book of Kurt Cobain's journals. For Nirvana fans and readers interested in the writing behind the band, not for anyone looking to play something.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Nirvana fans who want the words in print
- Gift for someone deep in nineties rock
- Reading about a songwriter rather than studying technique
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting tab, notation or something to play
- Players looking for a lesson or method book
- Shoppers expecting a biography written by an author

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include Nirvana song tabs or lyrics sheets?
No. It is a book of Cobain's journals, not an instructional or notated music book.
02Can I learn guitar from this?
No. There is nothing to play from here. Look at a method or tab book instead.
03Is this a biography?
No. It presents Cobain's own journals rather than a narrative written about him.
04Is it appropriate for a younger fan?
Use judgment. Personal journals are unedited, so tone and language are not written for a young audience.
