I'd make it illegal for kids to take up guitar.
I find a lot to enjoy in classical Bach and modern metal, and I don't find it musically or emotionally lacking.
FWIW I preferred the Finish chap, Huno, I think he's called.
But I found it hard work listening to all five in succession.
That's nothing to do with their musical styles - and I don't think they all sound the same - it's just my problem with instrumental music in general, especially when they're playing over backing tracks rather than jamming with other musicians.
(Three of them quote Plini as an influence - embarrassingly, I've never heard of him.)
I suppose there hasn't really been any development in guitar music since then, or at least not enough to hang a stunt contest on, anyway.
They're very talented though, and I'm sure at least a couple of them will find their own path.
Im sure we’ll hear more from some of them in the future though. I wish them luck. It’s a saturated market out there now
My band, Red For Dissent
shame no Country players or Jazz styles
Personally I find that kind of music that I can't hum or whistle the tune of to be very much the elevator music of the future
That's why I thought they all sounded the same. That and the horribly compressed and processed to buggery sound.
Canned, processed, chopped up into bit sized pieces, flavoured, tinned, shrink-wrapped etc etc.
Good luck to them though. Hopefully a little maturity will help them find something to actually say. Outside of the mass marketed, mass media, digital related playground.
And I really hope they find that space and do well.
My favourite guitar solo this year is a slow one from Pendragon. Nothing difficult going on at all but it conveys emotion.
