You're referring to technical skills, not art:
Kurt Browning could do triple axels, and a bunch of other things that are included in the objective definition of "olympic figure skating." I assume you can't, so by that metric, I'll agree with you.
Jimi Hendrix could do things with a guitar that you can only dream of. To put it objectively, I would say that Jimi Hendrix had the skills to do anything that you could with a guitar...on the other hand, you probably don't have the skills to do all that he did. Objectively, he was a better guitarist. These things are technical skills though.
Music involves not just "what Nickelback can do with a guitar," but what they have chosen to do--that's what makes it an art, and completely subjective. There are people who like those choices, and they are not wrong, as hard as it might be for you to believe.
No more posts from me today...that's as well as I can make my point. I'm sure we're boring the audience.
