guitarist
Let an agent explain the guitarist as a musical role, relay styles, techniques and notable players from music sources, describe the roles the registry aliases name, and distinguish guitarists from bassists as a separate role in some classifications, from luthiers and from other plucked-string players.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
