@ayjay People say the same to me when they hear me play ;)
Seriously, though, learning how to play a song used to suck all the joy out of of listening to the magic of the whole piece, especially when part of a band. All the components were laid bare then rather clumsily put back together, often with bits missing or broken.
I'm old enough now just to enjoy doing my own thing with a song just for the fun of it.
