The Death of guitar (Patreon)

How do you get inspired? I like to dwell on an idea or concept. I've been thinking about the modern music scene and how it's evolving. Playing guitar like we used to doesn't seem to have the same effect anymore. Everyone's heard the greatest shredders on the internet and no longer have that surprise reaction to flashy technique. 

The modern guitarist has to make REAL MUSIC just like everyone else now. We can't rely on the previous novelty shred lords like Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads could. 

This short piece I wrote doesn't even sound like guitar. It's more like an ancient evil organ from hades muhahaha. It's a mood...a vibe...a feeling...an atmosphere. I was going for a real piece of music that transcends the instrument. 

Guitarists, we need to return to the basics of strong melody, harmony and foundational musical mechanics. What are you thots on this topic....is there still hope for the guitar? How can we redefine it for the modern world?
