i think what swa(y) and dead air said are correct.
it depends really on the guitarist. i dont think that technical ability should be frowned upon. because an understanding of your instrument could only benifit the player. look at marc ribot, nels cline, django reinhardt, those people were and are incredible musicians, but they play tactfully. i think a good trait is to be able to play really complicated stuff but have the luxury to decide not to...
i unfortuantly can play well enough to play whatever my bands are playing and to write interesting stuff. but i still try to better my playing.
and its important to know chords/scales, what notes the strings are etc.
