It's like the Strokes (for lack of a better example)... anyone here can play their songs right? That's nice. You didn't WRITE their songs, though, right? It doesn't matter that you can play the songs, you didn't actually compose them though.
Anyone can do anything probably, but they haven't done it yet, so it's not really worth mentioning.
I understand and somewhat agree with Everyneurotic's way of thinking (that he has no real talent beyond ability, it's all technique; there's nothing interesting or unique about it, it's just fast scale playing), but I'm not sure if I'd say "oh anyone can do that if they practice."

That's pretty much what I was trying to say, but it just came out a bit stupid when I tried to say it.
Anyone CAN play like Malmsteen with practice, but it takes a
lot of practice to do, so it's not as simple as the "anyone can do it" statement implies.
