What it "has to do with anything" is that EARLIER you said:

Josepp said: When I watch musicians that I respect play, they can all play straight off sheet music. That is how it should be. Anything less damages our culture.

You made no mention of teaching music there...you quite clearly stated, in black and white, that every musician (NOT teacher) that you respect can read music and that musicians who can't damage our culture. So presumably the "best guitarist you ever played with" is someone you don't actually respect and who you believe is damaging our culture! It's there. You said it. I can't see any other way to read it?
