Re: Fender posts record sales

Wait. WHat? Fender is selling records now?

ba-dum pssss!

I'll be here all week. Try the veal!

Way too many people read their own context into those articles that circulated about guitar being dead. All they were saying was that with the popularity of the synth and drum machine based neo-soul music that guitar based music was losing ground. And they were right. However, as with anything, your context matters and depending on what you listen to, that assertion is either correct or incorrect. I listen to a lot of Indie bands and they are typically guitar heavy. I listen to almost zero neo-soul. (Who is that Solange person? Actually I know she is Beyonce's sister. That was for effect.) So yeah. In one context, guitar is dead. In other contexts, it is alive and well and I have 7 of them in my music rooms.

I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
