I believe that you left out an important component........ physical ability.....  some people have the coordination, mental capacity, and physical attributes that are  special.

ironically, I was just thinking about this last night.... what sets the greatest of all time apart from the others ?.......
For singers - I believe it's that special voice.... there are a million great singers ( which I'm certainly not one of!   ).... but there's only one Pavarotti, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Barbara Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, Freddy Mercury, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, John Lennon. Ray Charles  and Aretha Franklin.  ( And I know there are more!)
These are the voices that you don't need to look on the screen to see who's singing...instant recognition because of their unique sound.

The same goes for guitarists.......  there are loads of great guitarists, but the ones that had the ability to make that guitar sing in a special and unique way, they are the ones that stand apart from the others.   

Very similar to greatest Athletes of all time - same criteria.

I also believe that emotion/ personality / charisma comes into play  - while I was very, very impressed with this young lady's performance - I thought it was emotionally deprived.  I love the musicians that exhibit  passion and excitement for that the song they are playing or singing, and show that it  really means something to them. Hers came off as a musician that practiced and practiced, nailed the mechanics beautifully... but lacked the heart and soul of the music.  Just my opinion.

Thanks for the thought provoking thread - I'm sure it will get some responses.

Of course I'll be in on this.

I'll give it my best shot.

I think I must be  immune to those ads - I only see the great stuff that my fellow Chordians post. Although in reality they are there, I rarely even pay any attention to them.  They can put as many as they want on here  and get all sorts of funds for chordie as long as we get the opportunity to do what we do at no cost. This place is fantastic - made that way by the wonderful people participating on this site, not by the ads.

OMG - he plays it with such ease... its like the guitar is a part of him.  That was really good
