To me it's as simple as that. If you are highlighting the music, and not your performance, it's all good.

It's not a live performance. It's a recorded piece of music.
Read up on how David Gilmour recorded the "Comfortably Numb" solo. Let's just say it involved lots of tracks, a stopwatch, and faders  If that's what it takes for music like that to exist, I'll buy him a stopwatch when his breaks. |
but since it's solo fingerstyle guitar, the music and the performance are pretty much one and the same. i'll have to think about this.
