Tom Morello did something nobody has done before or since.
Not really my bag but Guthrie Govan is worlds away from anything in the late 70s.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Modern classical players are light years away from the 70s. They play the most difficult stuff with brilliant time feel, and sense of melody. In the way that great string players and pianists always could, but classical guitar players really largely couldn’t.
People fusing jazz and rock are actually good at it, which, looking back, wasn’t alway the case.
i’m not sure that will happen again. Music has moved on.
As an aside. for tapping, there are videos of Roy Smeck doing it in the 1920s/30s.
I don't think it was so much about new techniques being invented..
it was about finding completely new ways of using them
A worrying trend is to use a computer and samples to create backing tracks for songs. This could finish the guitar and many other instruments as we know it. This would be a great pity so do all you can to keep it real. Play. And then play some more.

more a sort of adding to / evolution / taken to greater extremes than refinement
for example.. in Eddie's day folks were tapping arpeggios or tap a note onto a bend mostly
these days folks tap licks, harmonise lines and tap within riffs
This is true of many classical instruments such as violin.
