Exactly. Technical ability isn't everything. If everyone played their instrument as fast they could all the time, music would not be good. And speed isn't always a good way to judge technical ability. Just because you can play a scale fast doesn't make you technically good. There are really complex, multi-layered pieces of music that dont consist of much speed. A lot of those speed shredders are hard to tell apart. Give someone with a distinctive style that you can instantly recognize - someone like jack.
My friends saw him in Oklahoma last night. Apparently he played a bunch of white stripe songs. Really wish I could have made it
