      There's way more to writing music than technicality... It's about feel, and the emotion that is transferred through the instrument. Having said that, he is amazing at both. I agree with you 100%

    He is a freaking genius. I love those bends he does on one string in the middle of strumming chords in the chorus. He does it in Secret Garden too. And that very last riff, my god I did not realize it was that dirty. Just adds and extra layer to the intensity of that outro mimicking the chaos of the end of one's life, but then the peace at the end, like death finally came and peace is achieved, the static ends too. Incredible.
