I've been wondering, I know hide was the lead guitar player and that he was awesome at playing guitar as well as writing music. But between hide and Pata, who was the better technical player? I've heard arguments both...
I was also wonder if hide very skilled in music theory or was he simply an "ear player". What I mean by this is, did he know how to read and write music for the guitar or did he play simply with a good ear. I have yet to hear arguments for either. The question for Pata.
Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm new to X and I've developed a deep connection with this band, and I'm just looking to understand them more as musicians.
