The role of guitars in rock grew noticably in the 60s because of players like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Santana, Page, Townshend, etc who helped raise the bar for true virtuosity of the instrument in the realm of rock music... Rock n roll wasnt always based strictly around guitars, just ask Little Richard, Jerry Lew Lewis and Fats Domino.
