Tis a shame too, he really was great back in the day. I have a book that has tabs for every MCIS song, and in the beginning is an article written by Billy Corgan gor 'guitar world' or some magazine like that, where he gives guitar playing tips. It was really well done, he remarks on how you should only learn to the skill level that of the music that you want to make, in otherwords if you want to be in a punk band, dont waste your time memorizing Satriani riffs. He also comments on how the whole "good guitar player" thing is really subjective. "Some people think Zappa is a genius, others say he sucks. Some people say m good, others say I suck, it all depends,"

Then again he sort of compared hiself to Frank Zappa there, maybe he was always that full of himself.
