I don't think you do these guys justice by discarding >>their playing as "fast arpeggios with bluesy licks".

Yeah, but _you_ were the one talking about a "poor playing level", and that's what I was responding to. Besides, I must admit that sometimes I _am_ in the mood to be impressed by pure virtuosity.
