Oh lol :haha:
Well John Cage's philosophy is interesting (not necessarily always in a good way, mind you) in that everything to him was music, which gave rise to 4'33.

I can't tell if the guitar solo is bad because he's using an Epiphone SG special and it has shitty sustain, or he's just a bad guitarist.
It's probably both.

So, if you play guitar for 40 years, but never get past learning barre chords and then stop playing for whatever reason, you weren't a musician. On the other hand, if you play guitar for 40 years, learned barre chords but never learned a new technique until the 35th year, you were a musician.

But what if they don't stop playing guitar, but still just play only barre chords? Wouldn't his passion to play guitar the past 40 years still make him a musician?
