How much longer will guitars remain popular?

With ppl like us on this TTR, we won’t let that happen....

It takes raw talent to make music like we do, all that electrical techno stuffs all they are doing is pushin buttons...Thats not talent to me....

And with some here that build these Bang Sticks like they do, is also TALENT....

WE HERE @ TTR WILL DIME IT ALWAYS:love:

Im gonn state I THINK --- heavy ROCK has had its "hayday" but I dont think GUITAR based -- music will ever go totally away --
as long as there are girls willing to throw their panties on stage ---- there's gonna be guys learning to crank out riffs to make that happen-- ;)
 
I'm thinking that this meat suit that my soul resides in will fade away before guitars do. Maybe not as popular as guitars were when I was young, but will surely stay around. I was with my wife at a local Friday night farmers market and we saw a group of young barely teen girls playing as the entertainment for the night. They sounded great. A lot of kids play football, baseball & basketball in their phones now-a-days, but there are still plenty of kids actually on the courts and fields. I'm sure is true for guitars. 2 of my grandsons thought they could play guitar because they played guitar hero. After holding a real guitar in their hands, they no longer play guitar hero... They both own real guitars. :yesway:
 
i am cheating on my guitars with my bass.....all i do i think bass at the moment...obsessed with Ampeg, doing some funk..not a slapper..an octave type player...then running some crazy leads around it & whipping out the Sax for some Charlie Parker type stuff...saying all that..my next tune will prob come out in Drop A lol....what about a whicked bass solo next song & move the guitar next to it ? like a call & answer at the highlight of last solo ?/ humm...

My grandson no longer plays guitar hero either, but it did teach him of all the older songs on the game, I will at least give it that.
And no I couldn’t play that game to save my life!
lol

Brother what ever you do seems to come out a winner,
just saying!
Of course these are my observations, but my ears are not dead yet!

I was very encouraged yesterday. The town I live in used to have a big three day festival that attracted 100,000 or so over the three days. The town grew and they lost all their parking. Then the promoters were bought out by a bigger promoter who already had a festival in Vancouver an hour away. We went four years with no festival. This year some locals started up a much smaller festival hoping for around 30,000. I only recognized a couple of the acts and I'm working on two of the nights for the festival so I decided not to go. The local arts council put on a songwriters workshop with four of the performers. I was invited. It was free. I went. The performers were very young. I hadn't heard of any of them. They all had guitars. They were all very good players. I was not enamoured with their music but they did all feature guitars and were very serious musicians. There is hope for guitars to continue in music.

good stuff to hear Kerry ! On my bass cab quest yesterdayi ran into a gentleman who is hosting a 'Woodstock" revival in Lancaster's biggest park on Labor day...he invited 26 musicians & they are teaming up to pull off some ofthe songs...i was impressed meeting this guy...just his vision of keeping it going..he said it all started at his house until it got so big & drew some very talented musicians from all over the place. We all got to carry the torch..i feel there is a huge dif between the public & the gear sites..what works in public..is MUSIC..being played...all kinds of it.. fighting over statistics & gear is not reality...we used to hold mixed genres..we had a blast..soon we back at it..will be doing 4 band shows again...
