I do not agree with this essay. If you look at guitar sales the guitar industry had a growth period during the pandemic and it holding steady with small growth ever since.
Close to 50% of guitars are bought by women and accoustic guitars are now out selling electric. The guitar world is in transition and the new stars are in the making.
About the facts that we have too much choice. How difficult is it to limit yourself. Since I have learned to apply self limitations to my music I have seen tremendous growth in my songwriting.
The only thing I see is the old guard is dying.
I agree that guitar-centric music is having a bit of a renaissance at this time in music trends. Some very hot innovative players are out there right now.
Anyone remember what a certain executive at Decca Records said in the early 1960s?
I would like to ear to if you wanna share links.
No but I can just imagine lol. Something about rock and roll being done ?
Decca Records rejected the Beatles in 1962, giving the reason as: “Guitar music is on its way out.” 😂
Hi !
I really don't think that "plug-ins" can kill musicians.
It's sure that (almost) any/everyone can make songs/music with plug-ins only, but to build and settle a career "selling" records or being streamed isn't enough nowadays ; Live music is what makes the difference, and plug-ins aren't even close to replace a musician or a group on stage. Perhaps this will happen one day, but I don't think that this day has already come 🤔.
Also, humans "need" heros, and plug-ins can't compare with genius like, for example Guthrie Govan or @flo ! 😁😉
To simplify things, several of the people I know of are included in this coverage. You may already know of them:

lol Anytime now !
I tought you meant new talents. Those are all artist at least 15 years into their career.
Somebody like this guy.
To be fair, no one with less than 10 years experience under their belt is worth listening to. Experience counts.
😎
But were they playing by age 1? That's the question.
I dunno about that Van Halen and SVR where amazing in their first album.
Eddie Van Halen had already been playing guitar for at least 10 years before he recorded their first album. Ten years is usually the point after which you have finally become fluent with an instrument. It's the "10,000 hours" of practice and playing theory (see: Malcolm Gladwell). And in EVH's case, that's what it took.
And in Stevie Ray Vaughn's case, he had been playing for 21 years before his first album.

People keep saying this yet there's hundreds of metal albums released every year. You just need to know where to look.
I may eye your career starts when you get signed and release an album.
I could say my musician career started at 6 when my grand father bought me a small little keyboard for Christmas. But I have never done anything worth calling it a career.
I do work in IT. My career did not start when my father bought us a Commodore Vic 20 when I was around 10. It’s when I got hired for my first job.
Anyway all this chatter to say these artists are all 15 years into their recoded career.
The whole AI thing will make real people playing acoustic things very sexy again. People will grow tired of all the confected AI junk, they will value authenticity and there'll be a big folk revival, I'd say, with an emphasis on live performance.
Maybe the more acoustic you play the more real you will be considered. Maybe DAW build music will become less popular. Not bashing it since all my music is built in Cubasis except for the little bit of guitar I put on top of my songs.
What’s your point of view @flo ? Tu a lancé la discussion après tout!
I think daw stuff is already kind of less popular, isn't it? Hardware gets a lot of attention these days. I suppose it's also because many people spend so much time on screens because of their jobs. There will definitely still be a place for iPads and computers, and the portability aspect of those is great, but I do feel that things like busking with acoustic instruments will be where it's at. I often play guitar and sing, sitting outside a small café I go to, and you just feel in the passers by that they're so happy and grateful to hear a bit of music being played in mestspace by a real human!
I am a huge fan of metal since I was 12. I still am and buy CDs. But I think the scene is pretty stale and going nowhere and not a good exemple. All the new band I get into are retro inspired. Black metal and Death metal as been done to death lol.
The only somewhat new style of metal is the Doom inspired Argent Metal. 8 strings down tuned guitars with atmospheric scary keyboard. Pioneered by Mick Gordon.
That really great that you can do that. Do you have a video of you playing?
I do wish I could do that here in Canada. But there is not really anywhere to do that. Also right now I would have to remove a foot of snow from the top of my guitar. 😆
I do actually, somebody shot a little clip last week:

That’s awesome Gav! I didn’t imagine such a busy ios content creator could possibly have any actual musical talent 😉 I’m so excited to be wrong and you’re so modest too. I’m glad to have a face to put to your videos now, and you look totally unlike the avatar my mind had constructed of you! 🤣
You are way cooler.
Nice ! I would listen to that !
Thanks @ecou and @Blipsford_Baubie!
Love it.
Hey, pretty good!
I think it still is. There’s definitely less interest in someone pulling out their phone and get an AI app to play a piece of music compared to somebody pulling out an acoustic guitar and playing and singing, imperfections and all.
How many buskers have you seen holding up a phone or laptop compared to somebody playing a guitar or other instrument? It’s also not much fun to sit around as a group outside and sing along with an AI app.
I know there are people here who use AI to create all or part of their music, but to me the end result isn’t as interesting as the experience of getting there.
Reposting this, not because I like want to spam the forum with the same piece of music I posted before, but because it’s an example of me just having fun and creating something myself. I enjoyed playing around with some ideas, recorded to my phone, then took it to my laptop to finish off with a few effects I chose myself. I’m sure I could have created this with AI (and it probably wouldn’t have miscounted bars a couple of times…), but where’s the enjoyment in that?
One take, me playing the instrument, and introducing quite a few human faults along the way.
You know, one of the reasons I like the Flaming Lips so much is because you hear the handmade quality of their songs. The lead singer's voice cracks, instruments go in and out of tune, they don't quite hit their cue sometimes. I love that stuff.
After Ozzy died I kept hearing early Sabbath songs, and listened to War Pigs closer than I had before. It’s amazing how often the bass guitar and the kick drum are out of sync. Doesn’t detract from it at all even though I can’t ever unhear that.
Also, when Queen remixed and remastered their first album last year they added a lot in terms of improving the low quality recording of the instruments, but The Night Comes Down had the vocals pitch corrected quite obviously. It took something away - Freddie drifted off key slightly here and there and made the original sound very vulnerable and heartfelt. Someone missed the point entirely when they thought it was a good idea to make the vocal performance perfect.
