How is the quote that, "I've seen so many guitar players into the SOUND rather than the playing," making your point for you?
Listen, I've said that it all come into play, but FOR ME, I've never spent 10 minutes on it.

That's true. . . unless the amp is not capable of responding to the kind of "dynamics, the push, the pull of the fingers and the energy (dynamic) of the emotion present", which sadly, many aren't. .

I've very rarely played an amp - maybe never, that didn't respond to my dynamics. I don't even know what that means any more. It USED to be that way. I remember ages ago I played a Fender twin that just didn't seem to respond. But I don't think that'll happen any more. Maybe I don't play through enough amps, but I've been in situations where I've played in different amps, schools, jazz camps, festivals where I couldn't bring my own. I just don't have that problem any more. I don't know whether it my technique or just my consideration. I think kit's a consideration, because now I think the sound is in my hands, so I'm less effected, personally, by the sound of the amp;. I MAKE it sound like I want it to, or figure out a way to make it work.
