Realistically, he cannot contact all the thousands of content creators. Also I doubt that UG is paying them in any case. He should include author nicknames though.

Hopefully, bro scraped the content in case UG bans him. There will not be good electric guitar music past 2010s anyway, so no missing out on new content...

Polyphia, though

I never really got into their stuff. Frankly, it's just too much. I definitely see why people like them- especially those who play music themselves. It's hard not to marvel at the technical skill on display. But imo from the music-as-a-tool-to-stir-some-emotion standpoint, they have some of the most sterile popular music I've ever heard. Wonder how the music-oriented HN crowd feels about this.

There definitely is amazing guitar music still being put out though, so I'm not sure what GP's on about. Huge fan of players like Guthrie Govan myself.

There’s a video where they are watching fans cover their stuff. Guitars, but also a harmonica, trumpet, etc. The quality of the submissions was mind-boggling, and the interpretations helped illustrate the intention of the original songs. That plus the supportive reactions of the band really changed my perspective on exactly what you’re describing. So heartwarming.
