Well, Jimi was much more than a noisemonger. Among other things he was a
great composer!
This is lacking in many groups of today IMHO.

Perhaps, I suppose the ease of it made me start the guitar once upon a
time. However, I think Geordies guitar technique have less to do with
power chords than many other guitarists style. If this is relevant.
