[QUOTE="Guest 85555, post: 6230359"] Sort of. Dont know much about painting. I am not denying that new techniques emerge. Finger tapping is a newer guitar technique (doesn't work so well without amplification). But just because finger tapping exists, it doesn't mean other methods for achieving that fast sound are obsolete, and some guitarists avoid it entirely. Plectrums are a pn advancement over say fingerpicking. Finger picking is a bit more rare in certain styles of music but no one would say music has moved on so you shouldn't finger pick. In fact, there are some very good reasons to choose finger style over a pick. So increasing options or brush stroke techniques will occur. What brush strokes are favored may change with fashion and trends. I am not denying advances in understanding in the arts, but I am saying it isnt like car tech, where old tech becomes obsolete. Even though it is an old form , people still listen to and enjoy madrigals, and you will hear them today in certain styles of compositionn (movie soundtracks for example).
