Bill Frisell - "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" (solo) | Fretboard Journal

They say that young people are not picking up the guitar at the same rate that they used to. Sales are down. There could be a reason for that. 

Maybe those young people have heard what has already been done with the electric guitar and decided, hell no, I ain't got nothing to go up against that stuff! 

To them I say: go for it. Give it a try. There are tons of great guitars out there these days, at great prices. Spend yourself a few hundred bucks and you're in business! These guys stood on the shoulders of giants, but you can climb up and stand on their shoulders! "What man has done, man can do." 

It could be you scaring off the youngsters years from now.
