These were connected to my 1st paragraph, to let you
know that I was joking, not trolling for flames.

The operative word here is "cliche". 99.99% of guitar
players seem to have difficulty using one any other
way.

I'm glad you like it. We can't all be the same.

These days, no - it all sounds so derivative and recycled.
Someone gave my wife a Stereolab album, and it's just too
retro for me. I always feel like I'm watching some late
60's trifle of a movie when I hear it.
I'm sure there's someone out there doing something fairly
original, but I really don't have the time to track it
down.
I occasionally listen to Fripp - he's WAY out there doing
his own thing.
