I agree with you Michele, I would think Ness fits that advanced category. I reckon another factor must be the
speed with which a player can pick up a new tune.

I agree with the sentiment...but man if Neil isn't advanced then they may as well ditch the term man! I would be very surprised if he didn't agree that he is always learning something...but surely he is an advanced player?
Perhaps we could hear from the man himself on the topic of how good he is?!
