[LAU] Same old song?

[Louigi Verona]

I found this passage interesting:

*What has changed is how the chords are spliced into melodies. In the 1950s
many of the less common chords would chime close to one another in the
melodic progression. More recently, they have tended to be separated by the
more pedestrian chords, leading to a loss of some of the more unusual
transitions. Timbre, lent by instrument types and recording techniques,
similarly shows signs of narrowing, after peaking in the mid-60s, a
phenomenon Dr Serrà attributes to experimentation with electric-guitar
sounds by Jimi Hendrix and the like.*

I believe that pop music today is very much influenced by guitar music and
guitar thinking.
