KelMar:
Is this article overstating things or is this really happening?

Why my guitar gently weeps: The slow, secret death of the six-string electric. And why you should care.

Hello Goodbye:
It's really happening, Kelley.  The younger generation would rather play Rock Band on their Playstations, I reckon.

KelMar:

Normandie:


That is truly sad.  :(

Moogmodule:
For guitar to be prominent you need a few hit bands going around.  Really what bands that aren't hangovers from an earlier era are high in the charts or big touring acts nowadays? I can't pretend to be that familiar with current music charts but it seems to be all Beyoncé, Kanye, Taylor Swift and Adele at the moment. The indie charts seem dominated by acoustic based acts ( lots of sensitive folky types)  The last person I can think of as a "guitar hero" of sorts was Jack White of the White Stripes. We seem to have gone back to a pre Beatles era in popular music in more ways than one.
