I've been saying this for a couple of years now. None of the music I listen to anymore features an electric guitar; it's all made on laptop computers. The fun part about knowing how to play guitar is that you can learn how to play your favorite songs. But if none of your favorite songs feature an electric guitar, what fun is it anymore? I'm 30 years old and have been playing the guitar since I was 12, but it's just not as fun anymore... I'm thinking about learning how to make music on my macbook so I can stay young and hip :)
- dboreham 9y agoI give you Daft Punk with Nile Rodgers as a counter example.
- Applejinx 9y agoOn the other hand, you have to be a Nile Rodgers to groove harder than robots and sequencers. On the other other hand… guitars still make some of the best 'pluck' sounds. And I say that as someone who owns a x0xb0x, a JP-8000 and an Alpha Juno. People spend a lot of money on synthesizers that can get even close to the immediacy of an electric string. And modern samplers are so accessible you can take that electric string and do whatever you like with it.
- coldcode 9y agoAnything Niles produces or works on features his guitar, even the stuff he does with people half his age or less. You don't have to be a great soloist to add value to a song, even a modern dance type of music.
- crispytx 9y agolol, I did learn that song on guitar when it came out! But the majority of the songs I listen to now no longer feature a guitar part to learn.
