Sort of. I think Oistrakh did. Glenn Gould as well. Tommy Potts mastered, and redefined, a style. Munir Bashir, likewise (I'm thinking of the 'Flamenco roots' stuff). Past a point of tactile proficiency it becomes about taste and artistry. The grand litany of rock players don't cut that particular mustard, for me.

It's like chess players. Kasparov might be a grand master, but that doesn't mean he never gets beat.
