The usual process of discussing the merits of Prince as a guitarist: - Person 1: "Prince is awesome" - Person 2: "Really?" - Person 1: "Yeah watch this"*Person 1 posts video of Prince at the RRHOF**faces melted within 10 mile radius* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Most songs released from 1955-1995 had some sort of guitar solo in them. It didn't matter if it was funk, soul, pop, country, or whatever most of them featured a guitar solo. It was when bands tuned down to C or even further for all that NUmetal crap, that's when the guitar solo went the way of the dodo bird. It's sort of ironic, because METAL actually killed guitar solos for a while. Now because of autotune and computers, where a solo should be, instead we get effects and other "things". Slowly guitar solos are making their way back into songs, but this generation tends to accept lower quality solos imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
