The old "ego and jealousy" chestnut again. Maybe lots of players just don't like that kind of playing because they don't find it very musical or they don't like that style.
Like I mentioned in my previous post, I didn't say people aren't allowed to enjoy the music from a listening standpoint. If thats the case, don't listen and move on. In fact, I didn't finish the video, because I got the point immediately.
I don't see any reason at all to disparage a fellow musician who has clearly devoted a lot of time and energy to the craft of guitar. There is no productive reason to. The only two reasons are to build yourself up, or tear the other down. Both of which are negative for each party.
And I'm speaking as someone who actively did so when I was younger. If I saw OP's vid ten years ago, I'd be getting my licks in too on the stupid emotionless shredder running scales. I might even link an Albert King video so you all can pat me on the back and accept me as part of the club. Meanwhile, all we are really doing is potentially sucking the joy out of playing for an obscenely talented individual.
