Skill - Knowledge of the basic concepts of the instrument.
Technique - How well the musician physically applies his or her knowledge.
Style - The way the musician plays - what genre he or she plays in and how he or she does it.
Innovation: The musician has a unique form of playing and has developed a new playing style.
Virtuosity - Screw all that, I just want the musician to drop a killer solo! Whooo!
What affects your choice of favourite musician?
So tell me - what aspect of playing a musical instrument most affects your choice of favourite musician? Obviously all of the aspects I listed contribute, and a musician with little or no talent in all areas can't be seen as a good musician, but of them all, which will most affect your enjoyment of that musician?
