Stevie Ray Vaughan is the G.O.A.T. Change my mind

Kurt was an insane guitar player.

Not technical, but inventive.

I'm on your side.
I get that he was instrumental in starting a new era of rock music.

But I do not see him as an inventive guitar player. He was serviceable in that department (at best). His strengths were his voice and his knack for melody & song construction.
