We are to, "...play skillfully..." and I do not see passion "mentioned" part of the equation. Therein lies the basis for my OP.
I had no problem delivering a perfect execution of the performed piece. However, when I play with more passion I tend to not play each verse, chorus or refrain exactly alike. Perhaps all those years of music study, chart reading, jazz, theory, song writing and guitar lessons has ruined music for me. Ha!
Perhaps it must be a blend of both; skillful playing with the realization that someone is examining the guitarist's heart or passion at the same time. We all know that nothing performed musically is ever hidden from the listener. You can't "lie" when playing guitar. Especially on a Tele....
