This time an oblique swipe at guitar solos.
It's curious that they seem to like to write articles implying "this thing I'm writing about, heh heh heh, we all know is passe.... but *I* know what cool about it, I'm be self-referentially cool by telling you".
"It's easy to dismiss the guitar solo as an outdate, macho institution"
Pretty much the Rolling Stone formula of non-musicians being critical of POPULAR musician's choices. It's an inclusive trick: because you're reading their article, you're included in their Hip Circle.
Meanwhile I'm trundling along giving guitar lessons, in which wanting to learn to play solos is anything but dead.
