Hello,
there are guitarists, that "impress" me because of their virtuosity (Steve Vai, Satriani, Steve Morse)- They play things/runs/scales and I cannot understand how they play these things. However - in most cases their music does not touch my heart in any way.
And there are players, that play fills/solos in a song and it touches me - not necessarily difficult/virtuoso things - just the right notes at the right place (E. Clapton, Larry Carlton, Jeff Beck, Popa Chubby). That's what i like better.
A player who combined virtuosity AND emotion / expression is Roy Buchanan. IMO he uses his virtuosity to transport emotions. That's what I like best. (Jeff Beck does this too in some cases).
