virtuosos in general,even guys,arn't ever considered 'big time' or 'make it big'...Go to any mainstream concert or gathering and yell out "Yngwie Malmsteen is the best guitarist!"...watch the eyebrows raise and faces contort and wrinkle in stupidity.

Most instrumentals are passed by if heard "cuz dare ain't no sing'n!" or "What is that,beethoven?" or "What is this,sum jazz crap?"

I'll stop before I rant on about mainstream sheep...
