@Oliver_B Depends on the technique? If it's fast alternate picked scale runs, then I think Chappers would have more in that department. If you're talking about a more complete player sort of thing, then it's Pete. They're both very accomplished players.. A younger me would have preferred Rob's playing over Pete's, nowadays I connect more with Pete's playing. It's all subjective at the end of the day.

Supposedly that’s the story of the Beatles. Back in the Hamburg days, the Beatles needed a bassist and got ahold of a lefty bass, and Paul was the only lefty so he took it up, despite being the naturally gifted guitarist in the band. John was musical but still needed Paul to teach him guitar and he was the rhythm player. George wasn’t naturally gifted musical abilities either, his family talked about how younger George would sit around for hours listening to his favorite records trying to learn them, and that his ear just didn’t naturally pick up the sound. But I’d say it worked out for them in the long run.
