This is true.  I even tend to discount his guitar playing at times.  I was 
abruptly checked by my brother-in -law, who is a very technical classical 
guitar player who makes his living doing it.  He is in his 50's and knows 
about this from a career guitar player's perspective.  When I said that Pete 
is not the greatest lead guitar player, he said "Stop.  Pete is a GREAT 
guitar player.  He is a DEFINATIVE guitar player that no one can copy.  He is 
unique.  Just because he has his own style, it does not mean that he is not 
great. It means that he IS great.  You try it and see."  I handed my pinball 
crown to him.  

Pete is my favorite anyway you slice it. It is his playing that gets me.  
Maybe it is just my particular taste, but I happen to have good taste!
