Musicians Who Admit They Aren't Good

Some are humble, or know they're capable of better, but then sometimes it's simply a matter of timing. Guys grow up together, suddenly get big, and don't have the heart to kick one guy out who isn't great. But sometimes bringing in a bass player ruins the chemistry. I've seen bands where the ones who don't write might focus on other things, like making sure they aren't being ripped off, the one who talks to the "suits", has good ideas for the band, etc..

Personally, the older I get, the technical stuff (or how difficult something is) means nothing to me if it doesn't sound good. And most of the things that do sound good are easy to play. A guy like David Gilmour might not have great technique, so he uses those economic notes for emotion, and I think he's probably my favorite along with Jimmy Page, who had technique (although very sloppy live by the mid-70s)
