I won't rise to the bait, instead I'll recount a little story that's kind of on-topic.
A few months ago I had the day off work and decided to drop into my local guitar store for a cup of tea and a spot of guitar viewery. I got chatting to a guy of a similar age to me (early 50's) and we discussed some of our favourite guitarists. I don't remember his but I mentioned that I really like Neil Young. Anyway, the conversation turned to our respective guitar styles, his main thing was to learn songs perfectly, note-for-note and all that, in stark contrast to my good self as I've never learned anyone else's songs in my life and if I ever play one I don't give a crap if I get it note-for-note. Much the same as if I was an artist, I wouldn't be interested in copying another artist's work. Anyway, the other guy gives me a withering look bordering on contempt and says "Well I can see why you like Neil Young then."
And that, for several reasons, made me feel very happy. :mrgreen
