@@vaportrails7943 There has always been lots of great musicians going nowhere. Often they lack the creativity, but knowing the right people and writing/finding the right songs is crucial too. Finally you need a bit of luck to release the right material at the right time. For most hits in history you can find multiple very similar well produced songs by other artists/bands of that time that went nowhere.

Sadly, more don’t care about older music, unless it’s on a movie or clip they watch. There are far more who only listen to mainstream pop music, rap and R&B. Some, also listen to pop country, which most of it is now. I’ve played with some younger folks, in the past few years, and they take they compile set lists, based on videos or stickers on the most covered songs. I played with a band thst wanted to do a Reggae meets Southern Rock vibe, and the number of songs they had, that they thought were originals, by either Ziggy, Stephen or Damian Marley, but were actually covers of their father’s was shocking. I then played 5 or 6 Marley songs so know, that aren’t on the Greatest Hits album, snd they’d heard none of them before. I found this with several groups of musicians I played with. They’d know an artist from the past 20 years, maybe back to the 90’s, but other than the most well known ones, they wouldn’t know the music. Most of them had never played a Hendrix song, or so they thought, because several though Little Wing and/or Bold as love were SRV and John Mayer songs. I asked if they ever liked at the songwriting credits, snd most said no. I’ve found young players, who are doing better songs, like Grace, and know their music history more, but they were the exception. *guitar isn’t dying, it’s just a million miles from being a part of the mainstream, as it was in every decade since the 60’s, through the horrid 2001-2010 years. Always grateful musicians out there, but most rely on playlists made by a streaming service for them, instead of listening to an album by one artist.

You certainly deserve it. I am blown away by your skill and at only 17 years old it is incredible. I have played blues for over 40 years and am so envious of your talent at such a young age. At 17, I think I was still trying to work out who I was. I was clueless at 17 and here you are, confident, mature, intelligent and so talented. Keep on rocking Grace, and everything of the very best for your future.

Bit of a side note here although folk compare things to the golden age of rock 60s/70s etc the industry looks to be much healthier for the young musicians. In the 60s you'd just have unscrupulous management feeding the kids drug's and working them to the bone and stealing all the artist earnings so despite the money not being what it was way back the artists are actually sober. That has to be good. I bet someone disagrees, though, and believes music was better when the artists were stoned.
