Haha, so true. There's a movie called "Wayne's World" (a bit more directed at my generation) that parodies that in a scene in a guitar store.

I guess the fact that I used a Lydian scale and m7b5 chord in my examples proves that I'm not one of those guitarists.

I'm currently working on an instrumental electro-funk power trio that borrows compositional traits from the early 80s days of pre-MIDI, 8-bit microcontroller-based music synthesis. The actual instruments used in the recordings are all real, acoustic guitars, keyboards, and drums, but the composition adheres the limitations of 8-bit hardware (limited polyphony, liberal use of arpeggios, etc...).
