I notice that now, more than ever before, new upcoming artists’ and alternative music is heavily pop-oriented, synthesized, and digital.

Is it just easier for them or do Gen Z not have the fondness for guitar that dominated the 1980s to the 2010s?

    …you need to look up, Joe Satriani, Buckethead, and Steve Vai.

    That’s the same vein they are taking inspiration from.

    The guitar Tim Henson uses is a half-body, thin-necked, “classical” 6 string Ibanez. He only uses it for certain parts of the songs and ends up back on an electric by the end of the song most of the time. (Or Scott LePage will take over electric duty.) He also plays 7 and 8 string guitars. (I don’t know if I’ve ever seen him with a 9.)

    They use distortion plenty.

    This is just progressive rock really. If you want progressive metal of the same “type”, check out Animals as Leaders.

    I thought you were going to mention Chon.
