  1. I guess the general argument is that playing fast is awesome, but by itself it gets tiring and boring fast for most people. It's like, it depends on context. If just speed was all that mattered, music would be pretty boring itself. xD For most of the players I admire in the virtuoso space, the technical ability they have to play fast also shows that they can play plenty melodically and "with soul" or some other fuzzy term, so I never really got this "boring" argument. Then again, I'm a failed guitar player myself, so the perspective is different. It's less raw impression, and more inspirational I guess? I can understand how most people are not looking for musical proficiency in the songs they listen to. That's the whole thing about music. It's perfectly fine for people to only be looking for completely different things, like a song to dance and vibe to, or an artist that they connect better with. What I personally find exciting and fun in music might not be what others are looking for. And to be honest, I also personally have different tastes. It's not like I only listen to shredders and virtuoso stuff too. I have more than a few technically goofy songs in my playlist. xD
