I hate the term "Guitar Virtuoso"
I hate it because for me personally, it means shit. Nobody is Mr/Mrs. GOD on any instrument.
The word bascially means that you cannot get any better, and you can do it all. Play whatever perfect
I love Kirk Hammett, I think he is a fukking awsome guitar player.
He has been called a virtuoso, but on that Some Kind of Monster thing, he had the hardest time trying to play that riff James Hetfield wrote.
The whole thing about 'Virtouso', Personally it seems to be just Rock magazine created thing to glamor up whoever is on the front cover.

The word doesn't mean that you are a god who can't get any better:
vir·tu·o·so
n. pl. vir·tu·o·sos or vir·tu·o·si (-s)
1. A musician with masterly ability, technique, or personal style.
2. A person with masterly skill or technique in the arts.
3. A person with a strong interest in the fine arts, especially in antiquities.
So, Kirk Hammet is in fact a virtuoso, because he is an extremely skilled guitarist...

People always refer to me as a guitar virtuoso and I'm getting a bit sick of it now. *reaches for more mushrooms*

Kirk Hammett isn't really a riff player. Not sure about this bizarre definition of the word virtuoso either.
