Billy Corgan guitar style and tips

About a year ago I "discovered" Billy Corgan as a guitarist:  I had a few Smashing Pumpkins records, and thought they were "pretty good" -- but hadn't listened to them in a while.  But then I stumbled across some YouTube videos -- it may've been the one about how his long-lost stolen Stratocaster finally got returned -- and went "Hey!  He's a good guitarist."

I like him because - much like Tom Morello -- it's not that they play quickly:  it's that they do interesting (but musical!) things with the guitar (i.e. not "interesting but weird and non-musical).

Anyhow:  worth watching if you're a songwriter or guitarist that writes your own stuff:  some good approaches and techniques.
