Did Kurt cobain write songs for hole?

Probably not. I say 'probably' because it could be possible that Cobain did a lot of work with her on the songs and influenced her to edit and change many of them. Actually, this is quite possible, since her best CD "Live Through This" was released/made when Courtney was with Kurt. Not to say that she isn't talented, but Kurt was extremely musical and had amazing abilities to fine-tune songs. He was an artist. And Courtney probably used him for editing/advice on her music, maybe to even write a few lyrics. But no, I wouldn't go as far to say, 'Kurt wrote the entire album and she's a liar'. There's definitely Courtney in that particular album.

How do you get feedback like Kurt cobain or jimi Hendrix?

Do you mean the distortion? part of that is the tuning but you need a distortion box to get that really heavy "grunge" sound.

<That's not really a good answer for a lot of reasons.>

<A variety of distortions are used by both artists, but the feedback is the result of playing at high volume, where the vibrations created from the soundwaves coming out of the amp create a feedback loop between the amplifier and the pickups. Controlling the notes of the distortion is really an art, and Hendrix had far more control over the process than Cobain ever did. In general, feedback is undesirable, but if you want to play with it, turn up your amplifier very loud and hold the pickups in front of the speaker. Hold a chord, and it will feedback (somewhat) in the same key you are trying to play in.>
