I was thinking about how much processing, modeling, and technology has likely altered how people are learning to play guitar and wondered how much of a difference it is making. For instance, are a lot of younger players foregoing tube amps, or even amps in general.
I was also thinking this could be both a help and hinderance.
On the one hand, I suspect players may lose something without experiencing how a tube amp responds, akin to an instrument, and how to work on getting a sound you're happy with.
But on the other hand, do more players stick with learning when they play through a modelled sound that gets close to recordings that inspire them? In the older days, how many fledgling guitarists gave up during their Gorilla/Pignose/Bandit phase?
So I thought it might make for an interesting discussion.
If not, then, how about what is the coolest amp grill cloth design you've seen?
