The dude in Pelican plays with an e-bow too. Guitars have so much latent potential that goes beyond speed chord progressions. Bringing out this potential whilst gentling balancing or even creating tension between harmony and discordance is what turns a guitar hero master into an artist. None of those 60's/70's guitarists aside from maybe Hendrix made me think of guitar playing in a new way; they all lacked a cerebral element, completely drab. And after a while it just became so repetitive, thank god for no wave.
