As a musician and a small time producer I appreciate everything (except rap) The difference is these guys can do everything that the best quitarists have done and whole lot that no one else can. Their work on the fretboard is not rambling but carfully planned work through complicated scales and emulation of the masters from bach to SRV.
Its all good.......
