Let's settle this once and for all:

Once you get to a sufficiently advanced level on guitar the distinction between rhythm and lead becomes pretty much meaningless

>but it's effectively a really big ass guitar
That's like saying the violin is the same as a double bass. Which would be fucking retarded to say, but...here you are.

The who

>Well yeah but this is the opposite of how guitarists relate to music and much more demanding. The pool of notes that sound good changes with each chord, it's a far cry from a 'oh we're in the key of C? Cool, I'll just play notes from the key of C'. You don't get pass like guitar or other instruments in upper registers do

This is actually really true. When you play the wrong note on the bass it makes the entire band sound like shit. So I guess in some ways bass requires a more developed theory because youre the backbone of the entire composition. But on a raw level I still think guitar is harder because of the simple fact that you're playing more notes at once.

At the end of the day, the real instrument is the musicians mind. I play piano and guitar completely differently but use the same part of my brain to make music.

Only if you're a try hard weedly weedly "shredder". The difference is intent. Solo is intentional, a break from the main melody. I mean, I get it, I play guitar too, the bar is always set on the solo, and every guitar player thinks the solo is the most important part of the song. Which is all ego.
Talk to any advanced player, like a Petrucci, and tell him lead and rhythm are the same thing, and he'll call you a faggot like I am.
Respect the song, "shredder".
