Tuckstir it takes time and effort, something that is becoming increasing of short supply in our instant lives
Took me 18mths to play my first tune - if I had all the distractions of today, I'd have been a dj...!
The heartening part of the article was that there is hope (kinda) - All the girls picking up guitar because of Taylor Swift. Who apparently plays a mean G major arpeggio ?
It's a monkey see, monkey do world I guess - if we see loads of guitar players in the top 40 then there'll be more interest. If there's loads of electronic musicians in the top 40, we'll see more interest in that.
But one more thing - It's odd for me to say it, but I think there are far too many instruments being produced. It's not like they wear out quickly...there's soooo many good 2nd hand instruments available - I just don't see how manufacturers can forecast expanding business (they have to for investors) but it's just not realistic?
