The problem is that we are whining about how good hendrix was, how the solos used to be great... We have to see the future of music, and it's not whining here that will make it brighter... I work everyday in schools, and I know that a lot of those kids will play the guitar later in their lifes, because I teach them to appreciate it, and the music that comes with it... I also know my way around ACID and the REBIRTH (two techno/dance softwares) and I have taught them how to use them both, because we are writing a musical... And they asked me "can we put some of your guitar loops in it??" well, no problem, because that's what music is about...
Take what you've heard, blend it in your own way, say what you have to say, make the noise you were meant to do... Enjoy....
