Understand, this is MY opinion only. The first video (T4) sounds like it's being played by a trained but talentless music teacher. Smears are inappropriate (with amateur-sounding dynamics), triplets sound 'mechanical' and are overused; those, and other performance artifacts, all seem contrived (to me) to create a (false) sense of feeling (soul?) that's not really there. For me, how technically accurate a performance is has little to do with the quality of a performance, especially in 'pop' or non-classical music. In this video, the negatives have much more to do with the player than with the instrument. Again, JMO.
