Members AJ6stringsting Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 Music is not declining. It's just the music industry micro managing these new bands to the point that these young folks don't have the same musical freedoms , the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, Zep, Cream, Alice Cooper, Metallica, Pantera, Yes, E.L.P. or Dire Straits had.Plus, they did cut funding for music programs in the U.S. since the early 1980's and Mtv hijacked the music industry in 1993 .... Music isn't the Free Form it once was ..... it's now a trendy fashion statement !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Temple of Light Posted February 12, 2015 Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 You are leaning toward the uncredible if you believe that. An example of WorldClass guitarring is right in front of you on the front page of this place, thatD'Agostino piece is brilliant, impeccably performed and inspired from where real music lives.

Members 1001gear Posted February 12, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ok, on the one hand you have big labels and every Indie gone drift net. On the other, acoustic guitar has made ground in the performance arena and Pepe is real good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted February 13, 2015 Members Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah, but Beethoven has been dead for 185 years. I've gotten over it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted February 13, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2015 You never get over Beethoven. It's the new ones being preempted bothers me. I imagine the new Bachs are busy reformatting todays' riffs and licks into legitimate compositions but I don't know 'em, nor do I have the connectivity to have even heard of them. But it's not even about cutting edge advances, "good music" is defacto, plain not allowed. What the labels are making is medicine for the work force. See 'drift net' .

Members Kawai Owner Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 Classic music composers were fantastic, but nowadays people also can create fantastic pieces. So I don't agree with a creater of this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted February 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 First, congratulations on your fine pianos. If only creativity were so well thought out and finished. Getting audio out is so easy, it has defaulted to the fat part of the dum MF (see Scott Grove for insight on this expression) curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JureGolobic Posted March 21, 2015 Members Share Posted March 21, 2015 There just so much more music being produced. Like it was said earlier, maybe you just have to look harder. If the most popular music is not what you're looking for. Led Zeppelin never had a no.1 single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RockViolin Posted March 22, 2015 Members Share Posted March 22, 2015 It's all been downhill since the Ninth. I don't think such a claim is on particularly thin ice. Still, I don't think things went exactly downhill when Brahms, Wagner, Strauss, Mahler, or Stravinsky happened. Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich either. And Beethoven is a bit stodgy, overwrought, for those that champion Mozart. It's subjective of course, though Beethoven most likely wins the consensus. Bach gives me the most goose bumps. I also don't think 'serious' music should be juxtaposed with popular music. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AJ6stringsting Posted March 22, 2015 Members Share Posted March 22, 2015 I just earned a spot at a local music store , teaching guitar : Blues , 80's Shred , Metal and other forms of guitar.While I was waiting at the interview, I was noodling with my guitar and some kids ( age range 15 to 19) came over wanting to learn the techniques I was noodling with : 8 fingered tapping, arpeggios, tapped arpeggios, speed picking, legato ( Holdsworth style) and Neo-Classical / Metal style of guitar playing ..... I don't think music is in decline, it just comes down to the industry signing disposable artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RockViolin Posted March 23, 2015 Members Share Posted March 23, 2015 If music is holding it's own, or is getting somehow better, I probably wouldn't know. For the last 15 years, I seem find my time better served in the past, as far as listening goes, there's so much there, and I know where to find it. This horse doesn't mind drinkin, but it's not so thirsty as to dig for it. Pop that I hear in passing, that's somewhat current, almost never bears paying attention to, and is more often an exercise in tolerance. To answer the OP, I keep at it, writing and recording anyway, mostly because I enjoy putting music together, and after a neck injury, (career stopper) that's what I have left. I've come too far to give up. I was paying attention, lo those many years as a player, and sometimes I can even make my sequencers produce a goose bump or two. And I can still do what I do best enough to lay it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AJ6stringsting Posted March 23, 2015 Members Share Posted March 23, 2015 Most of the young guitarists ( 13 to 21) I've encountered are more interested in Hendrix, Vai, Rhoads, Malmsteen, Satriani , Dimebag,, Lynch, Hammett, Van Halen , Wylde or Gates, more than Navarro, Borland, Head / Monkey or Morello.
