This article is about the money woes at Guitar Center, which is really about yet another company saddled by private equity investors with crippling debt (sound familiar?). But it's also true that guitar sales are way, way down, and some folks say that's because rock is dead, at least your classic variety. And because there aren't any Clapton-esque guitar heroes anymore (ask someone on the street who Joe Bonamassa is). Kids don't want to learn guitar because the music that's popular with them is more sample-based and the stars are all rappers, not guitar gods. It's a pretty major shift... (Orange County Register)
