i think that the fact of the matter is they don't have the technique to solo, then comes the 'i don't wanna show off bit.' i think they probibly use that as an excuse to never build any technique. (not that technique is everything...)

For some people yes, for others no. I know people who almost never play solos and will flat out tell you that they don't like to play them who will still knock your socks off when they actually do decide to play one.
