I just think as a general rule, the greater the ability, the sh1ter the music. The guitarists in ‘Dragon Force’ play the guitar faster than anyone I’ve seen but is sounds gash.

To paraphrase John Lennon, ‘Bernard Sumner isn’t even the best guitarist in New Order’ but I’d rather listen to him struggle to put some chords together, than Santana’s self indulgent w@nk, every day of the week. The sound he makes is amazing
