Six Electric Guitar Oddities (from a guitar owning non-musician hobbyist): A) During the 1970s (say before Van Halen's first album) there was a raging 3 way schoolyard battle/discussion over guitar supremacy. Hendrix vs Page vs Clapton. Jeff Beck was never mentioned to the best of my recollection. Everyone knew he was there, but he was not seen as remotely in the running. Today, I don't think this group of 3 makes sense to many. Even for the period. Were we just blinded and confused? B) I see guitarists today with solos that blow my mind. Regularly. None of them have a hit song. Many don't have a band. They seem to live on Instagram. C) Jam sessions have disappeared...like nearly completely disappeared...when top tier guitar heros get together socially. Even if there are guitars everywhere in the room. The only exception I've seen seems to be if the guitarists are somehow in the nostalgia camp of folk, blues and classic rock. D) Guitars have become somewhat rare in dorm rooms. E) Almost every electric guitarist I've met comments on the aesthetics of a guitar as the most consistent and reliable thing they will evaluate. Not the action. Not the pickups. Not the fretboard. Just the looks. And in no way self-consciously. F) We have likely never had better guitarists than we have right now...and basically they follow each other and go to each others shows. But very few people who are not musicians care at all what they have to 'say' with their instruments. This is very different from the 1970s when non-musicians cared a great deal. -------------- That is the perspective of a guitar lover who is not a serious musician. I would be curious to hear from my guitar following what they think I have wildly wrong. 🙏

I just figured out if you search for a classic guitar pedal on Spotify, people have made entire playlists featuring that particular pedal
