While charisma, charm, style, and confidence are important, don't go overboard. If you are cocky you will turn people off. There is a very fine line between confidence and arrogance. Contrary to popular belief, most of the greatest, most gifted musicians (that I have met anyways) are generally pretty decent cats. You don't need to create a super nice alter ego but you should at least try to be polite. On auditions, try to mind your Ps and Qs. When it comes down to choosing between two guitarists of equal skill, the nice guy will always get the gig. Nice guys also tend to get referred for gigs more so than butt-holes.
