An argument about who is the better guitar-player, RL
or TV? is  as useful as an argument about whether you
prefer milk to dark chocolate. It's all a matter of

The objective fact is they're both gifted and talented
guitarists and Televison wouldn't be Television were
you to remove one or the other. 

My 2 cents, anyway. -fernando
