FWIW, Jimi used wrap chords all the time, including on Purple Haze, probably why alot of people learned it that way.

I have long joked that anyone who strums this cleanly the way Townshend does has spent some time down at the crossroads. I know it, I just can't do it...

If you've played something really repetitive like "Sweet Jane" where you can get caught doing the same barre chords all night, it's good to be able to...
