The End of the Angry Guitar

The End of the Angry Guitar

It's proven fashionable in recent years to declare the death of the guitar in commercial music. I wish I could debunk this sad tale, but the numbers back it up. Even worse, the data tells us that the guitar experienced a long, slow death.

    The end result is an extraordinary hybrid of Baroque compositions from the court of Louis XIV with several improvised sections.

    The author might not be aware of this, but that isn't actually a hybrid. Baroque compositions are meant to include improvised sections. The great baroque composers like J.S. Bach were master improvisers.

    I refuse to believe this. But I guess if I have to believe it, I'll choose to embrace the fact that the world of music is so much bigger than "commercial" music.

    Not really surprising. Instruments in general are falling out of favor in "commercial music".

    After listening to those example guitar tracks at the end, I'm inclined to think this might not be a bad thing.
