that's a great list for musicians. although numbers 4 and 7 are rather convoluted and vague.

everything else is spot on. but like any other list of commandments it's all about interpretation. not wiping the sweat of the gutiar? does he mean let it get crusty and grimey all over the fretboard? or does he mean don't try to hide the flaws and past errors you've made with your instrument. i understand being proud of having worked your fingers to the bone and while you might want to show off your mangled nails and fingertips as the result of your blood sweat and tears there's really no reason my hand has to get bloody in the process of shaking yours.

it is possible to not wipe off the sweat AND still be clean.
