Please don't- this is a great conversation. I just wish I was going to be
around to continue it for the rest of the day......

(and who will openly admit this) still struggligg with their main
instrument, who use gear to compensate for that."


#1- In my mind, a better question would be 'Is there anyone who *HAS*
mastered their instrument? Even the people we consider masters probably
would not ever say that about themselves. But that's another convo....

When you say 'use gear to compensate', that's where you lose me. Let's
assume someone is an intermediate player who has realized that he can usea
certain piece of gear to execute the strategies of his mind- how is that
wrong? Is it more correct to play 4 notes instead of playing 1 & having a
delay that repeats 3 times?

I do agree that if you remove all gear from the equation, and sit 2 peopel
down head to head on acoustic guitars, you will be able to better tell who
is the technically superior guitar player- but IMO, this has *zero* to do
with who is the superior musician.  : )
