there seems to be a boom/bust cycle with the quality of guitar playing. in the 60's to early 80's, most bands had a strong lead guitarist who could play a decent solo, and some had absolute guitar geniuses. but since the 80's and synthesizers came around, everyone seems to have forgotten how to play guitar well, except for maybe a few chords. i think soon there'll be a rebirth of quality guitarists, and we won't have to listen to all this garbage, like matchbox twenty, or backstreet boys.
