Yeah, see, just because you don't have instrument "training" doesn't mean you can't come up with good uses for the electric guitar. I mean, it's not like you'll find early Pavement, Half Japanese, or Pussy Galore (three extremes but yeah) guitar books at your local store, but they still make a compelling enough racket... I think, in a way, "training", in the strictest term, can be limiting. I say, have no limits. There's nothing wrong with learnings chords, scales, all that bullshit (at least learn how to tune a little bit) but you don't necassarily need to be Slash and play guitar 12 hours a day in order to make a cool little noise every now and then.
As far as Greg Ginn goes, to reply to myself about my post above, I hate him. Good songwriter, but yeah... One of the worst guitar players I've ever heard. Damn.
