The age old question. An argument I've been having for a long while, with a friend of mine. He believes it's just skill, and nothing else. I think thats the wrong answer, it has to be more than that.

They have to have a combination of...

*Skill
*Soul
*A certain amount of songwriting ability
*To play solos that suit the songs
*To have the ability to make somebody totally lose themselves in the music.
