Jónsi didn't invent the idea of playing guitar with a bow, Jimmy Page was doing it in the seventies with Led Zeppelin, and he got the idea from his uncle, who in turn got the idea from a group of students in an art college in the states who started doing it in the sixties. As big a Sigur Rós fan as I am, it's only fair to say that Jónsi's guitar playing is a technique that people have been working on since a few months after Leo Fender started making his money with his new invention.
