So many great players. I'm just a little above average, I think. Not a Shawn or Malmsteen. I think I can outplay Clapton, though. :) Or Gary Richrath. Oh, especially Kirk Hammet. hahaha well, Kirk is okay but not great at all. Gary Moore, Holdsworth, Gambale, Joe Pass, Tommy Emmanuel.... I'd say those guys are great. For his time, Hendrix was great. Beck was pretty great but more in an odd creative, musical way. Not technical so much, imo. Eddie was great for the time/genre. Guthrie Govan is pretty amazing. Eric Johnson is great. I'd say Brian May is great in a certain way. But for technique and musical knowledge, Holdsworth and Gambale are insane. Too many to even hear in a lifetime, I think.

Marry me

Really AWESOME rendition. What separates Musicians (Laurence) from Artist (Eric) is the creation of the art. It's so cool to hear a rendition of the song we fell in love with by someone who repeated the notes and inflection so well/perfectly (well practiced!). But it inevitability lacks the emotion of the creator. I heard Joe Walsh exclaim after playing the first version of Hotel California, "I hope someone recorded that". Because the artist plays from the heart and isn't paying attention to anything other than what's in front of them. Repeating what was conceived (whether Mozart, da Vinci, Eric, or Joe) is impossible or lucky at best. imho

terrible part time musician mythologising of the creative process remark; People have inspiration but it's hard work diligence and repetition turn that inspiration into great music.

As for Mozart or Eric, listen to their work from beginning of their career THEY IMPROVE OVER TIME - which is consistent with practice / trial & error etc.
