Ho...to me virtuoso is more of a classical player/ singer term....I guess it means someone who has mastered their instrument or voice...and has distinguished themselves as such from other players in their class...I reckon I regard guitar pickers as stylists...true, some are really talented styliists...but to be a virtuoso I think a player pretty much has to earn the title from a panel of judges while competeing against other virtuoso hopefuls....as I understand it, the judging folks can be pretty rough on a player or singer....in some cases reducing otherwise world class players to darn near raw meat...I guess a true virtuoso has to be master of the instrument....and themselves.....later, spyder
