Yep. I've been playing guitar for 19 years now, so I think I know what I'm talking about. I also play drums, keyboards, bass and basically anything with strings, I'm not too great on wind instruments. But I would never go as far as Jimbo and say I'm better than 90% of the other musicians. That shows either massive stupidness or massive ignorance and in any case it's not true. There are always better players.

For me it's emotion first and technique second. If both are in the same song, it's great.

I hate it when people judge the technical stuff about music when they don't know what they're talking about. That's why so many musicians are overrated by their fans.
Right again. Truth is tough to handle sometimes.
