Description PART 1—- Considering the lecture on Guitar Heroes and Power Trios, the notion of virtuosity lies at the heart of both ideas. Can you identify other examples in which virtuosity is the most important aspect of the music? Does this type of virtuosity enhance music for you, or is it a less important quality? Have we moved beyond the "guitar hero" towards another type of preferred instrument? PART 2——- We considered three music festivals as being touchpoints for the counter-culture in the 1960s (Monterey, Woodstock, and Altamont). Are there any music festivals in recent history that seem similar in that they represent a particular cultural movement (and aren't just a traveling collection of bands)? Who do these festivals represent and how?
