Will music survive another 20 years? Yes most definitely but will it be quality or just a sad collection of soulless pre-made beats and canned vocals. Right now you can turn on the radio and hear 40 songs that sound just alike all talking about the same thing. Artist used to try to be different and original, now they are content to just be part of the crowd or herd. Gone are the days when great groups like Chicago,Earth Wind and Fire, Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet, Queen, War, Santana, Kool and the Gang, Funkadelic etc would make an album and take you on a musical journey. They used to use various techniques such as experimental chord changes, pick ups, slow downs, break downs combined with excellent story telling and great lyrics.

How do you begin to make good blues music? Before you start doing a blues guitar solo in front of that crowd, you had better think twice. If you don't want the crowd to demand that you leave, you'd better bring your ace game into the gig. In order for that to happen, you'll need to brush up on a bit of blues guitar lessons to get you in the right track of things. You see, impressing the crowd with your blues guitar is a bit more difficult than just following the chords in a guitar book.
