So... you think that by incorporating the use of a certain instrument (in this case... a guitar) in an already-established genre of music makes it unconventional and therefore worthy of being called "avant-garde?" I'm sorry, but that doesn't make any sense.

There wasn't really anything like it before.

Various forms of traditional folk music across the globe has made use of the guitar (or its ancestors). When it comes down to it... blues is just another type of folk music.

The Charley Patton song sounds a lot better than that noise.

Okay... great, but how is that relevant? In fact... how is any of this relevant to the purpose of this thread? I set out to make this thread in hopes of learning more about pre-WWII avant-garde composers, not to argue with someone about whether or not blues is considered to be avant-garde.
