Based on the popular guitar world definition as
seen and heard over the years........
I like a bit of the virtuosos here and there.
Think they were more popular to my ears in years past
than now. I still listen some and admire the talents especially
if their stuff sounds good to me.
I'll be straight up though some of the constant high speed
elaborate stuff (any style) can get old quick, give me ear fatigue
and even get on my nerves sometimes.
Others love it and that's fine. I certainly don't condemn it.
Think my "definition" of virtuoso has changed somewhat also.
With that, yes, the bulk of what I like and listen to tends to be
simplier going for good groove feel, sound and what it does in the
song itself. Airspace (or nuance?) can be as impressive as the
notes or chords in a song or solo.
That really isn't all that easy to always accomplish.
