The eclectic electric guitar
Since its creation in the mid-20th century, the electric guitar has faced misconceptions among composers and audiences alike. It's been deemed suitable only for rock 'n' roll, country, jazz or blues. The musicians who take it up have been pegged as reading-challenged, prone to playing too loudly and incapable of getting along with "disciplined" acoustic players.
But in recent years, a subculture has been growing in the guitar world, populated with instrumentalists eager to explore new ideas and break through old definitions of where they belong. As a result, the electric guitar is slowly sneaking into the hallowed orbit of "serious" music.
