I also see alot of people trying to expand what the guitar can do, beyond technique and scales, but entirely new sounds. This of course goes back beyond Jimi, but it's becoming more of what's happening in music today. Hell, that's what I try to do on bass. I think we'll be seeing more people in total control of their instrument, right down to knowing how to get your strap locks to squeak in a certain way. And definately, styles are melding, but when are we going to see a new style that owes less to everything that's come before?
