No problem, man.
I wonder if piano players have these same sort of
discussions? Or are guitarists just freaks of nature... :)
Tone, tone, tone....

Actually, I think we may
agree. You could have just took that passage out of context. In
my example, I realized that I could play with more "apparent" articulation
and speed with high gain than playing clean (this was years ago, of
course), which compelled me to work on my chops and techniqe playing
clean. Now, I can play better in both scenarios. So, I do think that
being able to express yourself quickly (when appropriate) both with clean
and high gain is a more desired trait. It means you are more
versatile, but more importantly not restricted when you play clean.
Does that make sense? Both are good, but in my example, one did not
translate into the other because with playing clean I did not have the
benfit of gain, overtones, distortion, high sensitivity, etc smoothing
over my articulation blemishes. So once you play fast and clean, you
go back to playing fast and dirty, and you are that much a better
player.
Yes, we agree completely. I skimmed this thread too quickly and didn't
put the quote in its broader context. Sorry about that.
