Technicality means nothing, especially i the sense of playing fast with sweeps and all that rubbish.
Guitar solos are generally cliches and as an extremely technically able guitarist myself...that stuff isn't very hard, try playing some Jazz harmony stuff and see how good you really are.
Innovation, restraint and taste are far more interesting.
But of course feeling alone isn't enough, i.e. Clapton's amped up theft of B.B king licks does nothing to impress me.
