Multiple choice definitely helped them in many cases here. The main takeaway for me is that a lot of seemingly once upon a time mainstream guitar orientated trivia is now not quite so well known. Perhaps it wasn't known even back in the day either though, and it is only because we were actively receptive to taking in information about our musical interests,. Perhaps it is possible that we have always been the niche and the average person in any generation also doesn't care enough about music of any kind to remember anything they may have come across in life. Another thought is that if you ask them about their favourite artists, what you'd get back from them will be influenced by their position of how they interact with them, i.e a guitarist will be way more likely to have more knowledge on all sorts related to it, compared to a non-musician who enjoys listening to some music. It is obviously clear through statistics that guitar-orientated music artists INDIVIDUALLY are not being listened to in anyway near the amount they have in the past, whether or not that is because there's simply more artists to choose from with new media compared to legacy media though is another thing.

Recently, after the rise of Polyphia, Ichika and some others, more people have started learning guitar. Granted its a different style of playing, but still. There was an anime called 'Bocchi the Rock' that aired a few months ago which inspired so many people to buy guitar that the stores in Japan ran out of Yamaha and Epiphone guitars.

I really enjoy this format of video. Keep on truckin'!

I'm turning 36 soon. I'm pretty sure that in my generation, at that age, you'd get generally similar results.

This was a fun watch. I kind of wonder though, if you were to ask these questions to a random group of Gen X-ers, how much better (if at all) we would do? I feel like a lot of them were more the type of stuff only guitar players would know, more technical questions regarding the physicality of the instrument itself, regardless of their generation. Kind of hard for me to say, being an X-er who grew up playing guitar, lol.

A reporter went to a university and started handing In Utero CDs and then came back the next day for honest reviews. Everyone came back and shared their feelings, which were mostly positive. It is astounding to me the level of acceptance of that kind of music had back then, very little people would like it. Also, now who owns a CD player and who would have the concentration to listen a song longer than a tiktok video. Anyways, great video!

Kinda curious who he put as his top 3 guitarists. My Answer probably would have been Hendrix, maybe Clapton, but there are honestly a lot of decent answers. All depending on what kind of music you listen to. For example, maybe not a conventional answer, but I think that Tommy Emanuel is one of the most skilled guitarists, if you are looking at acoustic fingerstyle. But I know he definitely wouldn't have been the answer.

That was fun! - But wait, till you are at my age and in my genre of music. I am 57 years old, my semiacoustic guitar is strapped below my chin and goes with no effects in an AER amp and my favourite Chords are some j7#11 and #9b13. And I have a big resemblance to Jim Hall, John Scofield and Joe Pass -- no, not the playing. The hair...
