Let's say a song has a solo in the middle that is "Eruption"-like in technical wizardy and speed - but it doesn't seem to fit right in the song; it strikes you primarily as "showing off".

Now consider a tune where the solo is shorter and not as flashy, but still very tasty. But more importantly, it fits perfectly with the rest of the song (words AND music). The second guy is the better guitarist, IMO.

I love some of the almost subtle riffs that Mark Knopfler
plays in Imelda, towards the end of the tune.
