Hi there,
The guitar in popular music will never fade away completely and even if it's not upfront as the main focus, it's always gonna be there as a key part of the whole overall sound. This is across all the different genres, rock, country, reggae, jazz.
Actually, I disagree with the guy writing the paper, maybe that's unfair...I think he was asking a question and not coming out with a statement.
Just take country music as an example: Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, just two examples of really pretty good guitarists and both topping the country charts on a regular basis. Bon Jovi, still hard at it and featuring some pretty nice guitar.
Then there's me. Hell, I don't copy anyone really and just have my own amazing technique which might catch on, might not but I love it anyway....One man reggae style.
Not that showy but a helluva lot of rhythm and feel in there.Odd-ball is the best way to describe it....
Vive la guitare Gordon.
