I'm not really sure... Most people (including chicks) think you are awesome if you play the actual Top charts guitar arpeggios, but if you played dream theater twice faster with your index tied to your pinky, they couldn't care less.
Have you ever heard "wow Santana is just amazingly fast" and after you play some Satch or some crazy Shrapnel shredder, still it's "so? Santana is still so dang fast, and he plays this wah wah stuff, how revolutionnary!!"
