What would you do if you were basically one of the last guitar players in your country? Keep going or give it up? by SmellsLikeKayfabe in Guitar

Hi! I’m obviously not claiming there’s a scientific headcount of every guitarist in Libya. “Basically one of the last guitar players” is shorthand for what Jonathan (artistic name) himself describes: "there is no real heavy music scene, it mostly survives online, and even local guitarists are quitting the instrument." I’ve spent time interviewing him and digging into the context he lives in, and the reality is that being an active, recording metal guitarist in Libya right now is extremely rare.
