      I doubt it. It will happen once the music world in general gives up the stigma that he aint that good cause he does pop. But everyone, even the most guitarhead, blues/rock lovers and mainstream pop haters know he is one of the best ever, and it hurts them deep

      @@polonC he’s considered the best of our generation, but the problem with our generation is its too underappreciated. our generation is the most proficient guitar generation there ever was but is sadly underrated because the guitar is dying in the current music scene. not to even mention we got some unknown guitarist who’s even more proficient than some greats before which proves my point more
