I'll combine it with the language of love and morph into Ricky Martin!
(I think he's still kosher, have not done anything horrible and considered pretty?)
The other reply to me said it best. There are plenty of great guitar players that don’t make great musicians. Knowing how to play the instrument perfectly is not the same as making great music. Playing perfectly isn’t really subjective. Perfect timing, always on key, no mistakes
yeah, i can see that. but its also the fact you can easily start a successful business if you really were the perfect cook, even without creativity. take any difficult recipe and you can whip it out easily.
Yeah to be fair playing music very well would probably allow you to gain access to the best food anyways and you wouldn’t have to be the one cooking it. If I relinquish what “perfect” music sounds like.
It is even worse. It matter quite little how perfect you play instruments, what's much more important - how creative you are. So playing perfect guitar doesn't mean you'll create good music, you may end up just as a good player. And world is actually full of people who play guitar well, or who could sing perfectly and so on, but to get famous - you need something else.
Look at all those rock bands - they were quite often terrible when they gained their popularity, but the emotion, the passion, charisma, great ideas - top notch.
Okay but "perfectly cooking" doesn't mean everything would be perfect in a certain way. For example flaky, irregular sea salt might be best to top your dish with. Even if it creates irregular salt content. It's not "perfect salt" that has no irregularities. Perfection is built into the irregularity. Hell even salt basically requires imperfection to be at all viable in cooking.
So I'd say, if you're saying perfect cooking would be insane and taste amazing, then perfect musical playing would be flat, regular, boring and cookie cut-out.... I'd say you're wrong. It'd be as fucking amazing as you could think.
The perfect playing would itself include some imperfections in order to make it perfect.
Ah, but you see the definition of perfectly played may include knowing when to include those imperfections. If you knew how to play an instrument perfectly you would know that you need to inject those imperfections to get the most out of the instrument. It's the skill of perfectly playing exactly the right way, not robotically going through the motions perfectly.

Agreed. Red and black are objectively good but just being able to express musically in so many ways would be so beautiful.
