As a musician one can admire instrument/musical skills regardlesss of emotion. Emotion does not always have to come into the equation.
But should you prefer that, I gladly refer you to the millions of current so-called singer-songwriters, who prefer an excess of navel gazing over actually knowing how to play an instrument.
