Kasp, my point was that joe Satriani like your example can play guitar, in time and in tune. Still a shit album.
That song you linked too was about not wanting to goto school, the content was cheese. The guitar solo was fine in its 2 second entirety (if this was not the main one then sorry) and indeed the guy can strum when the gimp is singing. Otherwise he does not strike me as an exceptional guitar player.
But as opposed to Ps argument of 'if you don't get it, you won't understand' perhaps you could explain to me why the guitar work here is exceptional enough to have allowed this group to exist for so long?
I am interested. I am not a guitar player. I like Frank Zappa as a guitarist for instance, or Steve Howe, or mabye a bit of Steve Via if I am feeling saucy, so we know where I stand on guitarists I enjoy (not to say I do not enjoy others)
