You couldn't have picked a worse place for this, as most people here respect guitaring and guitarists. If all you are seeing around you is shit guitarists, then become a decent one and be the exception.
But don't ever classify guitar as a "guitar generation" because thats horse shit. Guitar has been around longer than you've been born, and this "generation" you stupidly talk about has been around since the instrument was invented.
So re-think your piss poor arguement ok kid?
The "Guitar Generation" he speaks of is our newest trendy scrub rock players who know a four chord song or two (and maybe a solo) and think they can post in a music forum. I teach guitar scrubs, backed up by a university degree, and help them become decent players. I teach them the technique to go from scrub to newb. What they do after that is their own problem. Of course, I also have these permanent scrubs that pay me 30$/.5 hr to teach them Greenday etc, and I don't mind getting paid for six weeks/song because they aren't willing to learn the technique to improve. I don't care what anyone says, technique is all in guitar. "But some of the greatest players learned on their own..." WRONG. No self-taught 'pro' can even come close to what studied guitarists can do.
