The Death of the Electric Guitar • Page 2

Very interesting, I played through a Crate back in my more metal days haha but that Vintage Club 30 does look more my speed now. I'll have to try one out, thank you!

 

Guitar is so last century.

 

That's why people write off/don't really know about older crate models IMO. No problem!

 

I know you are joking, but you are spot on with first 5 statements.

 

Led Zeppelin sucks

 

Unpopular music opinions

 

imagine being the exact type of person that post is parodying and agreeing on it without a modicum of self awareness

 

After a few months of playing you'll be at a point where no one will know you're learning late in life, if that's what you're worried about

 

I have an Epiphone Les Paul and it works for me. I don't need the Gibson name as I'm not that good of a player or have enough money for one.

 

T-Pain is better than Kiss

 

Man, you sound like you're nuts. It costs very little to introduce your kid to a guitar. You can buy a great starter electric guitar kit (includes guitar, amp, gig bag, cable... all that shit) for like $120. That is very fucking reasonable. Hell, you should introduce a guitar to your child by getting an acoustic anyways... that's the best way to develop calloused fingers and learn. Get you a starter acoustic for $50 for your kid to learn. It's a one time purchase. I don't understand how any responsible adult couldn't afford this.

And your statement about guitarists now days being better than ever or some shit... pump the brakes on that nonsense.

 

They are though. With the exception of the handful of icons/innovators like Hendrix, there are countless guitarists that are as good or better than any guitarist from 60s/70s/80s.

 

Not my favorite...but at least is outside of the box. Guitars need to stay relevant!

 

Why would I buy my kids a brand new guitar when I have two in my room already? It makes no sense. And "can afford" is VERY different than "should afford". Of course I can get my child a $50 acoustic if I want, but it doesn't mean it's the most important thing that $50 can go towards.

And guitarists are better now. That's obvious by looking at nearly everything bands write now.

 

Also $50-120 is entirely irrelevant to the discussion in the first place because this article is about guitar giants. We're talking about Gibson Les Pauls and American Strats.

 

I can never have too many guitars

 

Most depressing thing I have seen in the past week. Blasted.

 

I'm completely biased but, I honestly hope that guitars, drums, bass, like, a band...becomes prevalent in pop music again. It makes me sound old, but there's something so honest and real and human about people actually playing instruments.

 

Guitars drums and bass are the only instruments everything else is hogwash

 

Brass bands only

 

pop music will be the best when it's literally created by artificial intelligence

 

Fly shit only


my phone kept trying to correct that to "flu shot only" lol

 

This thread is lame. People who blindly worship ~real instruments~ are lame. Overpriced guitars are lame, and I say that as a left handed guitarist, so I know how much of a pain in the ass it is, especially in France. This is a good thing, we're not in the fucking 70s anymore. Lots of genres and subgenres have been created and continue to show us how creative music can be when it's not restricted to the overdone guitar-driven conventions. People realized you didn't have to be a guitarist to be respected as a musician. The rise of electronic and pop music and everything that's in between are the best things that have happened to music, because finally, you can now do anything you want with softwares, tho there will always be weird criticisms about that being not authentic, real, tr00, human, passionate, etc. which just comes down to a fear of change. Let's think outside the box, and the easiest way to do that is to stop viewing every genres as lesser than rock and to not be afraid to drop the most conventional instruments.

 

Hey you take that back! Some overpriced guitars are cool!

I'd buy a Suhr probably if I was filthy rich.

 

I love Fenders but Music man make some of the best instruments out there.
