There just isn't a large enough market for it right now unfortunately
so until society's tastes mature. Ciarra and Bowl Wow will reign supreme that is SO TRUE if the "in thing" was the electric guitar, the record labels would be all on it....they are SO corny! | |

One thing I might mention that people have overlooked is that WHITE people have disowned the electric guitar solo at least as much as black people. Punk rock and all the other trends in rock descending from it have done a lot to kill the ideo of the "guitar hero" for better or worse. My guitar playing buddy has often commented about the sad state of current mainstream rock and how there's almost no soloing and no technique any more. | |

So true. I've been saying that for years, too. John Mayer's the closest thing we have to a soloing Top 40 artist, and even he'll hold back most of the time... the bum. | |

No idea, player. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

No idea, player. Because it's such an iconic thing in the rock music circles, separation from these kind of things is just a common "strategy" for genres that are outside the current mainstream. It's funny that absolutely no one in the underground industrial circles uses the electric guitar these days, it's totally considered a crass thing to do. And I think, the real "black" music people are referring to in this thread is not so much a mainstream category per-se either. Eschewing certain aspects, idioms and items of characterization of a larger genre is sort of hidden behaviour that automatically takes place amongst producers of smaller genres, as they need to distinct themselves (whether they are aware of their own strategies of distinction or not). Otherwise they would not be able to form a genre of their own. | |
