@EricCPOP 3 года назад

There's a lot of great guitar work in pop songs. There's also a lot of elitist guitarists who bash on pop songs thinking they're too good for it. This is coming from a 16 year veteran of the instrument and believe me I was one of those people for a long time. I think it's some rite of passage that almost every rocker goes through but eventually we all come back full circle. Subsequently a true artist appreciates the instrument and the music not the genre.

@pedrosilvaproductions 3 года назад

If you're a true musician and not just a blues guy or a metalhead or some elitist shit you can appreciate any type of music. Of course, there's crap. But there's crap in any genre. I was never against these types of songs. I don't particularly listen to them myself but all of them have a lot of stuff in the middle we don't know about composition wise, production wise, etc

Say you wont let go is mine and my girlfriends song, I love it so much. It took a long time to learn it because it was one if the first songs I ever learned, and was a big curveball from the normal strumming. Me and her performed it live for a fundraiser at her church, it was my first time performing in front of an audience and it really boosted my confidence in music, and I've been learning and growing ever since. This song changed me for the better.
