Axe-Master
I think it is legit for someone to enjoy tone chasing in it's own right, and not be interested in performance or what I would call being a musician.
The same for gear hounds that are more interested in gear vs. the music and musicianship.
For musicians, this creates a natural tension. I can understand the holy grail tone chasers, but I'm not one. I tire of endless tweaking and just concentrate on the music and performance. My greatest joy comes from the creation of the music and energy that comes off of a live crowd.
I continue to be inspired by my musical influences and continue to fantasize about playing and shredding things that I am still unable to play, so the guitar nerd in me is alive and well too
