RE: Guitar-o-centrism

The guitar is and will always be somewhat prevalent throughout a number of 
musical perspectives but I highly doubt that rock dominates things say 
from a universal springboard of ideas and origin of musical 
experience/exposure. 

I think it is more of a Western and overly Euro-American perspective that 
thinks Rock moves in ways nothing else does or can.

I think if there is one instrument that actually dominates anything in any 
particular music's origins it is the Piano (IMHO) - not a synth, not a 
sampler or even a violin,  just a plain old piano.
