Isn't technical incompitance just another way of saying they can't play their instruments?
Or do they not play their instruments well in such a way that makes them unique?

lack of technical skill doesn't necessarily translate to not being able to play
Hendrix wasn't a technical player by any means. whereas someone like Dave Gilmour is all about precision and technicality. both great guitarists (shut up monty) in completely different ways

Gilmour is an excellent guitarist
and a perfect example to make your point.

I was going to suggest Joe Satriani or Steve Vai
but thought I'd better go with someone who people are likely to have heard of. Plus, I fucking love Dave Gilmour's style.

He's the best thing about that band post Barrett
He also did amazing things to help Barrett out when he lost it - a really good unselfish human being.


Waters, however....

if you made them sit a music exam they would fail utterly
but similarly a technically skilled musician would have the so-called 'rules and regulations' of music so ingrained in them that they would find replicating that style as impossible as the Buttholes would in trying to pass an exam.
