Brian May is revealing his favorite guitar players of all time.

In a new interview, the Queen legend talked at length about Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain saying, “I don’t think any guitarist should feel like they have anything to prove. It’s not a competition. Kurt Cobain is a great example. There’s not a lot of technical stuff there, and he didn’t work that hard at being technical, and yet he gives us a legacy of some of the greatest guitar music of all time. So it’s not about technique. It’s about what you put into it and what you feel and how that feeling gets across in your guitar playing.”

He also named Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.
