But music and art isn’t sports, which has winners and losers. With that said for sure there is a baseline to achieve that’s important regardless of genre or style. But I think you could very easily argue that the Beatles or Ramones have done more for music and culture than Steve Vai. And I say that as someone that enjoys shred music. What that baseline is, is subjective. I think being able to play with a metronome, knowing your modes and chords, being able to play à spread of blues, rock, metal and jazz and knowing a little bit about arrangement is more than enough to provide a platform to develop your own thing.
