well it depends who said that. I don't know who played last year. If that was Zak Wylde (or however you spell it) i think he's very good. if it was a second stage opener who wishes they were the deftones and korn, well then he's probably right.
I don't know if we should count songwriting though, that doesn't mean you play the guitar well.
I think this is why teh Grammys are a second rate bastardized Emmy's. The rate things that aren't technical, like best badn. If the grammys gave out awards like "best guitarist" then they'd have alot more credibility. It couldn't be based on marketing then (or if it was it would be alot more obvious)
point is in both of those statements, what you do on the guitar should speak for itself.
