PMTVUK's video: Will Guitar Music Go Extinct

The guitar has been a fundamental part of music history ever since the earliest stringed instruments were created. It's evolved, grown and morphed every which way over time - particularly with the advent of the electric guitar. But has the time finally come for guitar-based music to die? In this video, Dagan takes us on a tour through the history of the guitar as we know, the state of guitar music and musicianship in 2023, and discusses what the future may hold for a musical instrument that so many of us have held dear for all our lives. We look at: - How the most popular guitar-centric bands of the 20th century enticed countless people to pick up a guitar themselves - How and why the golden era for guitar solos - the 1980's - was swiftly destroyed by the grunge movement of the '90s - How technology and trends have influenced the way guitars are designed, constructed and played - Whether the guitar itself is worthy of a place in modern music - And more! Whether you're a guitarist yourself or not, this is a fascinating subject which is sure to divide opinions. So let us know what you think in the comments - is the guitar a relic of yesteryear, or is it here to stay?
