Before I learned guitar, I thought the solo to Pearl Jam's "Alive" was awesome. Now that I have learned to play, and have studied music theory, I am even more impressed, but for a different reason.
Before, I thought it sounded cool.
Now, I think of the techniques used, the syncopated sections towards the end, the subtle wah usage, the tremolo dips, octave bends, etc.
Now that I know (very, very little) about magic, what is impressive (or not so) about other people's tricks is the smoothness (or lack there of) and the presentation.
It becomes less "what," and a whole lot more of "how," which is the most important part about preforming, imo. A simple trick preformed flawlessly is far more impressive than a sloppy - or even averagely performed - advanced trick.
So enjoy the techniques.
