What is the difference between a guitar player and a musician who plays guitar?

What is the difference between a guitar player and a musician who plays guitar?
1. A musician reads the language of all musicians. A guitar player reads tab.
2. A musician plays music that touches music lovers. A guitar player shows off for other guitar players.
3. A musician listens to good music no matter the instrumentation. A guitar player listens to guitar players.
4. A musician discusses how and why music touches the listener. A guitar player discusses strings, picks, amps and effects.
5. A musician understands how all parts of an ensemble fit together to create music. A guitar player just turns up so everyone can hear him.
6. A musician understands the beauty of a few well selected notes. A guitar player just wants to play fast.
7. A musician can find work. A guitar player sits at home playing fast and fuming because nobody ever calls him.

I agree 100%...
a guitarist should be a musician that plays the guitar.
GRIP805:
A GUITAR PLAYER THINKS ONLY OF WHAT HE/SHE IS DOING
A MUSICIAN THAT PLAYS GUITAR THINKS ABOUT WHAT THE BAND IS DOING

This is all pretty funny coming considering this site specializes in a gospel community that largely don't read "the language of all musicians".
In the old days, it was the piano players that could read music.
Don't count on THAT anymore. ;)
This explanation could explain why I never see a music stand in front of Jonathan Dubose. :D
And here's ANOTHER guitarist just sitting at home discussing effects and such:

It's SO sad. ;D

PJ, jr. can flat out play the guitar :). He is a true professional.
