Hey everyone,

Recently I've been noticing a lot of guitarist over look some of the most basic skills. eg. Vibrato, Bending and clean alt picking.
I feel strongly this is because they try run before they can walk sort of thing, wanting the fastest way to play the fastest, craziest licks.
Is this a new thing brought on by access to shred videos via youtube (and company) or has this been around for a long time?

Whats you view\opinion on this?

Thanks.

AC
