In case my post came across as more harsh than I meant it, there aren't as many guitar driven songs that are really well known, like there used to be. A recent post by Floyd Jane points to an article that explains, to some extent why...along with some great insights by others on the forum.

I really do feel country may be closer to what you may be looking for. I mean, maybe you would like Maroon 5, Train, or...more guitar driven could be along the lines of Nickelback, Avenenged Sevenfold...but I'm not holding my breathe.

Another whole area you may want to look at is the Ed Sheeran type of artists. They are doing sort of a singer/songwriter type of thing, but use foot pedals looping stations. You may grab some students that way, and teach them to play with a consistent beat.

You may want to at least look at country, like Keith Urban as an example, for the same reasons others complain about country music...it's not that country anymore. It's also where guitarists seem to have gone to be able to play at all wink

Just thoughts. I'm sure the guitarists and teachers here will have better suggestions than I have given.

Best of luck to you! smile
