More strange logic. You wouldn't have new chops without the old folks. Fascinating. My goodness, where did blues come from, certainly not a vacuum. Where does new thought come from, certainly not from the theory, the instruments haven't been invented. (I understand the next argument, but it's wimpy. The logic driven by synths, still tonal.) It's about when Jim Hall and Joe Diorio (Steve Morse and Dixie Dregs and so many others) began to wane. To push what we hear, without being to entirely educated. This is not simple, but can be fixed. Example, commercials are starting to be written again, without stealing from some old rocker.
A good sign. Maybe you'll figure it out. When I taught, protect your worth and your job. It becomes life.(especially, to not hurt yours). (taxes and asundries)
