The thing is, the guitar, the electric guitar, the electric guitar of rock music, is generally played in such a way so as to elide dynamics. The person above was saying that music lacks dynamics, and my point is that electric guitar, played in Anglo-American rock music (which is a byword for the stock-and-trade of this forum) tends to lack dynamics. I'm talking timbral and volume dynamics. It's a necessarily limited instrument. I'm not criticising the instruement, I'm criticising the (implicit) criticism of the instrument. Ok?
Edit: because, y'know, I'm a guitarist. I'll just make that as obvious as I can.
