I once knew two brothers from southren California they were both excellant technical guitarists by thechnical I ,mean they coyld re-create the noise that sounded like the melody of a song, when I had the oppurtunity to sit in with them, quite often one or both of them would stop and listen to me play. I sippose while not being as technically adept as them I put into the music some thing that they as yet could not.....that something was heart and soul, and that comes with milage. This is not my ego talking this is simply the way that they explained it to me. I hope this helps in answering your questions about the difference between a musician and one who plays......... -Biskit-
