As I sit back and wait for my seventies rock novel to go live on Amazon, https://tinyurl.com/yuvszywj And as I reflect on those glory days, I can’t help but wonder whether those heydays—those glory days of rock were indeed when lead guitarists were at their peak.
I think about guitar gods (to name just a few) like Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Jimi Page and Ritchie Blackmore, and I can’t help but conclude that we’ve already attained, some fifty years ago, Peak Rock Guitar.
And I sit pondering all this, I wonder whether all you Classic Rock fans and all you Folk-Who-Were-Around-In-The-Seventies agree?
So what do you think? Was the seventies really the period where we reached peak guitar?
