I don't think so. You just start thinking in terms of his genius as a studio wiz. He's innovative. What he asked Rick Turner to do with his nylon-string Chet Atkins guitars was a bit of a technical breakthrough in the guitar world.
So he's an innovator and mad genius of sorts. And I think that tends to detract from his guitar playing outside our circle. Remember how we all get frustrated when he doesn't make the best-of lists for guitarists? It may be that all the studio gimmickry has hurt the overall perception of him as a guitarist.
