Speaking of which, lets look at the [U]polls[/U]
7 people say you need a great technique to be great
5 people say you don't.

If this were a presidental election and the state wasn't Florida where the states are counting ballots, then you would be [U]wrong[/U]. And if you say that the polls don't matter, then why did you have a poll?

Ouch, sorry, gotta call you on this one, Incidents... Let's take a look at who has voted in the polls, and while we're at it, who hasn't voted. How can you say that a poll of 12 persons on this board is [U]at all[/U] representative of the 60,556 members, or the 50-100 actively posting members?

I did say that I felt that good technique was necessary, but I only said that because I define good technique as "playing the guitar well". So it was pretty obvious to me that you need to play the instrument well in order to become a great guitar player. If I had for one moment thought that it meant playing perfectly, or superfast, I would have swung to a no.

Thus, even our little microcosmic 12 vote poll would have been a dead heat, 6 to 6. Hung jury. Don't flip the switch yet, governor.
