Ya i guess we might as well sacrifice the conventional way of walking and start crab walking.

As for Phantom, I get what you're saying. To an extent, I get the vibe you kind of are intrigued by his playing style. However, I would argue whether somebody could, or couldn't, it doesn't matter.

Go to an open mic night, or a local blues band. Ask people to play some Chuck Berry. A large portion of them will probably be able to pull off a song perfectly. Chuck Berry was even a technical revolutionary for his time. HOWEVER, a large portion of guitarists with today's aids can probably learn his songs quite quickly, and be equally proficient. None of them are significant.

It doesn't make them Chuck Berry. Anybody can study any song for a length of time, and learn it on an instrument. But, to pioneer an entire new direction takes talent.

Remember, Haino was doing this kind of thing in the late 70s throughout the 80s. Guitar work of the traditional sense was getting stale as ****. Somebody has to atleast admire him for having the balls to actually do something different, not just play 'middle aged old fart' blues, and yell 'all them damn kids don't know nothing' after 20 years of going nowhere with it.
He sucks. There's a reason why nobody plays like that, because it sounds like ****.
