Yeah... it's not so much the guitar playing itself as what they do TO the guitars, and how they arrange them... but the fact they are all involved with arranging and {censored}ing things up instead of having some producer do the knob twiddling, in my mind, makes them all great guitarists. :') devi- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've always adored the fact that they're not afraid to just use whatever the hell they want to, be it old {censored}ty computers or xylophones or the Ondes Martenot or whatever. They're such great guitarists because they don't pinhole themselves AS guitarists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
