I just never gave it much thought, but I think it would depend on the performer, type of music and style, not to mention people's personal taste in all of those. IMHO Segovia is probably a virtuoso, Dave Gilmore is probably not, but then again, could Segovia play Pink Floyd like Gilmore can? I can certainly see where lines can be drawn, but I agree with you Dave that sometimes a very simple sweet line may be the best. I too like Edge a lot, mostly because he's different from other players. I'm sure this will generate a bit of discussion.
