Mark is right, chops is at the bottom of the list. This is taken by an insult from many guitarists, good and bad alike--it offends their sensibilities about how the world should work. But success is adapting to reality, not being angry about how reality works. In fact, I'm just starting to realize how bad most guitarists are at business. The paradigm your average gigging guitarist uses is completely irrational. For example, I used to refer gigs to certain friends of mine, but I stopped because I never got any referrals back. This season, I found a whole new crop of guitarists, to whom I've referred a good 5-6 gigs already. So far, I've gotten 0 referrals back. The rational person would do his best to repay a favor like this. It stands to reason that if you make it worthwhile for a person to do business with, than they'll continue it. But nada. There is also a dirty word out there--the "self promoter". Apparently the guitarist is supposed to sit at home and cut hair until his genius spontaneously reveals itself to the world. If he has business cards, tries to beat the streets and get business, he is a "self-promoter"--a low form of scum. The people who have the gigs and are making the money have a divine right to keep them, regardless of how good they are, how their customer service is, etc.
