Guitar people are rebels. The number of people who get good at playing guitar every day is about the same amount of people who get good at anything else: it’s a huge number. The problem is that there are so many people who are good at guitars that you’re more likely being able to make money selling fender guitar parts neck than you are being able to actually play the guitar itself. Nobody cares when you play guitar. You may be great, but if you’re not a complete virtuoso or know the right people, you’re screwed.

That’s just the way the music world and the entertainment world go nowadays. That is unfortunate for everybody that knows their guitar parts acoustic or electric or jazz or classical or any other part you might want to play. The problem is that there are just too many players out there. The competition is far, far too high to get into the world of playing guitar and surviving professionally. You can make money doing all kinds of things with guitars. You can sell them. You can write articles about them. You can teach lessons of how to play. What you can’t do is make money professionally because absolutely nobody wants to hear another guitarist playing the same stuff.

With today’s entertainment world, it doesn’t matter if it is the most rebellions, new, amazing breathtaking song in the world, it’s pretty much been done before. You can’t create anything new anymore because every song, every topic, and every style has been done somewhere by someone. You’re stuck in your lick and you have no way out. You have to invented your own instrument or come up with some other type of strange band ability to be able to do anything ‘new’ and even then, it’s probably been done before.
