Sometimes music NEEDS fast playing etc!

There are plenty of technically superb musicans who dont let their technique get in the way of the music, just as there are plenty of musicians with a lack of technique who do the same.

A great musician, to me, is someone who serves the music(regardless of ability), not their ego.
the argument for technically challeneged musicians making good music is more often formed because it seems like a counter-intuitive statement. This makes it more conversation worthy than "i know a great musician, they can play great, i love it!" because that seems kind of obvious, and as such requires less discussion than an artist who manages to impress despite a lack of ability.

I can't stand Gary Moore. To me he doesn't play a song, he 'shows you what he can do'. No genuine feeling whatsoever.
As Mr C says, seek out the Trout.

I agree. Gary Moore was the first of the new generation of guitar prodigys. He may be a great player, but his playing just leaves me cold.
