The Slow Secret Death of the Guitar

Some good posts here and glad I posted that link. I was just amazed to read it I guess I listen to so little "popular" music I didn't realize how little guitar is being played. The part about Taylor Swift just cracks me up I have to say.

Anyone want to buy my Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster guitars?  Happy Playing!

chayro is right!
But not just The Chainsmokers. Anything in the so-called top 10 or 20 is garbage and pretty much all sounds the same! The crap that passes for music nowadays amazes me!( no Talent or emotion involved)
There is still great music out there, you just have to search for it.😉

arcam88, absolutely.  There's still some good stick licks going on, but they tend to be one or two on an album.  The rest, contract filler...

But I'm pretty picky.  If it don't make something smile within, or rustle some leaves on this wilted tree, I'm out. ;)

Hey everyone, rock guitar is not dead!!  Meet Juliette Valduriez from Paris France.  The following is a clip of an original composition of hers.  She also just released a full length album of all original material in which she plays all instruments and sings lead vocals in both French and English!  Her vocal style reminds me of Francois Hardy!
