I feel that, and I prefer music of the 70's over everything else but it's strange when peeps don't want to agree with the progression of things.Personally, I'd rather listen to a sloppy Page than most of the new stuff out there but I do understand your point of view SteveG
I'm not talking about Pop, I'm talking about any genre. We can't point out Pop of today and pit it against rock, metal, classical, etc of the yesteryear. But Pop today uses far more talent than Pop of the yesteryears. Amazing singers haven't gone extinct, they've only gotten better through the years.Song writing wise? Um…nope. Most pop stuff now has no chord changes. I don’t listen to much modern stuff and what I have heard, I can always look back and find where they “got” it from
I have no doubt that everything has it's roots but that's only because you've been alive long enough to have known someone that has played similar styles/techniques. Everyone has influences and everyone has got some inspiration from somewhere. If we pitted genre for genre and hit for hit, yeah, the stuff of now easily stacks up and isn't so copy-cat as people think
Oh they do, they make money from playing in their bedrooms and become a Tik-Tok/YouTube legend, there's nothing wrong with that. People of our generation hates that but they are recognized regardless, that's why Ibanez/Fender/Cort, etc gives them their own signature guitar and other gear.Sure kids have it made learning wise today, majority never go on to do anything with it. Kind of the way it always has been. There are very few outlets like there used to be, most don’t care anything about music. Was alot of fun growing up and playing in bands.
People here keep pretending that these new guitarists aren't getting recognition, a fanbase or influencing many players of there own but this is definitely a golden age of guitar players all in it's own. People also keep pretending that most guitarists touring today use tube amps still, go figure!
Guitarists today are doing their own producing, will plug their guitar into am interface and go direct into a phone or laptop, the level of education is beyond anything we could have hope to achieve in our days.
Bare in mind, I'm not saying these facts to make any one mad, I'm just stating these facts as a record of what we have achieved and people should celebrate this and see it as victory instead of jealousy. It really does make me excited for the future, guess that makes me a clown
