I suppose it might be better to ask the question, "When, in your personal opinion, does a guitarist become a musician?" Since everyone will probably feel quite different about that. I suspect a working classical guitarist, a school music teacher, a struggling singer/songwriter, a wealthy guitar collector and a eleven year old making youtube shredding videos are unlikely to come to an agreement on that.

I agree about the element of expression as being key. When I was much younger, back in the 70s, I was at loads of gigs where other glued-up kids were on a cruddy stage, thrashing the crap out of a drum-kit, a bass and guitars that weren't even in tune, or even attempted to be in tune, but they were expressing an anger and fury that was palpable, and hundreds of people were paying money to come and see them do it. Definitely not everyone's idea of music, but it was music for them and even now there will be people who remember these nights as being hugely important and formative (like me!) The music being crude or untutored or just plain crap didn't discount them as being musicians for those who happily paid their money - the main thing was what they were expressing.

Yes
I'm actually agreeing with your previous post.

So the actual point at which a guitarist becomes a musician is the point where I think you've elevated yourself from just being just another barely human guitarist. It's quite simple, really.
