Is instrumental guitar a viable genre?

Aside from the ones mentioned in your blog, there are still others who manage to maintain af following, label support and eat three squares a day...although arguably considered more fusion than rock, there are guys like Jeff Beck, Alan Holdsworth, John McLauglin, Al Di Meola...but there is more to it than just playing guitar: you need good material, you need great production...and backing.  So to be an 'upstart' in the modern world where no one makes money except the 'big names', then the answer to the basic question is no....unless you get lucky, nail a viral video or marry a movie star...
