We hear so much about who is the "BEST" guitar player all the time. And why so-and-so is better than somebody else. So much more so than with any other instrument.
Why is that?
When did that start?

Was it with "Clapton Is God" or did it pre-date that?

Personally, I find the who competition thing kind of obnoxious. I mean, of course it's important to be competent on your instrument. But really, the whole shredding thing has kinda destroyed a lot of "great" guitar players for me.

These guys could be music that is more-suited to the songs at-hand. And, after all, isn't the song or the composition what it's all about?

Anyway, I'm projecting. That's what it's about for me. Still, I don't see the same kind of competition or head-cutting with other instruments, at least not nearly as much.

When?
With whom?
Why?
