Q for list: Is Jack White really that good a guitarist?

He's a great guitarist in the same way that Steve Jones was a great guitarist. You can't imagine anyone else playing his songs. You get this thing where writing the songs and the way you play them are so inextricably entwined that it makes no sense for anyone else to play them; this also means that your limitations become part of the process making it even harder for someone else to anticipate either your intentions or your limitations.

Jack White is an incredible guitarist when he puts
his mind to it, able to mix visceral acid-blues with head-bashing garage-punk

er... yeah, OK

(hey, bottom line - if it works for you then he's a great guitarist, right?)
