I was referring to things like his overall subtlety, his sense of phrasing, and so on - that's what I took from him. Never once have I spent a day playing along to <i>Reggatta de Blanc</i> over and over again.And hey, guess what? Many guitarists you'd read about or review on Bitchfork or any other site would not play the way they do if not for Andy, whether they realize it or not.I wasn't posting to show everyone how cool I am. Stupid bullshit posturing is of zero value to the way I live. But if that's your thing, then go for it.

You play guitar like Andy Summers? You must be soooo cool. I'd love to check out your MySpace page and put you in my top 8 and review you on Pitchfork and snuggle up to your burned 4-song demo with a fancy printed label all night long. Oh, man.
