If you didn’t know, tapping is the new strumming. Check out this impressive demonstration of guitar skills by Eric Mongrain.

A smashed guitar from the late rock legend Curt Cobain has been sold for $100k to an unidentified collector. This is the second highest price  for any of Cobain’s memorabilia.

The sale was confirmed Tuesday by Jacob McMurray, senior curator at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, where the taped-up Fender Mustang guitar in sunburst finish was displayed for a time.

The guitar is apparently held together with a duct tape.
