Guitars and G chords weren’t invented in the 1960s…that’s just when they got popular.
Six string guitars with standard tuning go back hundreds of years. They predate even the notion of pop music (and fame).
So the inventors and innovators weren’t trying to come up with something to get famous…they were coming up with things that were helpful and could spread. If we all have a guitar that kinda looks like this and has about six strings and they’re tuned like this…it’ll be more fun when we get together. And we can start our own musical language that’s easy to learn.
