Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Greg Ginn" in English language version.
[...] I'm not such a fan of crazy, loose playing, but I think Greg Ginn of Black Flag was brilliant and did it in a way where it sounded like he was playing sloppy but that was exactly how he wanted to play it. He was actually playing tighter than anyone I had ever seen. He was making tight sound that way. [...]
[...] Greg Ginn was certainly a huge influence on my guitar playing. I put him up there with people like Eddie Van Halen. [...] he definitely changed everything.
[...] People don't want to hear it, but that's my main writing influence, Greg Ginn. Anything he wrote on a guitar was what I wanted to do on a guitar. [...]
When Black Flag came along I was like, 'This is it. This is exactly what the doctor ordered.' That unhinged guitar playing that Greg Ginn was doing was amazing. As a fan of Hendrix and avant-garde jazz, he was right there at the centre of all of that and he embraced all of it in his playing. I could tell that what he was doing was deliberate, too. It wasn't just like, 'Oh this guy can't play.' It was discipline. Later on, I got to know Greg Ginn and it was all confirmed for me. He was like, 'This is method.'
