Because my music tastes are so broad, I have developed an odd style that doesn't belong to a single genre, and I think it would be a crime to waste that in a cover band.
The same could be said about me. I primarily play metal, but with the attitude and fury of Stevie Ray Vaughan (he may have been blues, but he plays with more fury than metal. Metal's fury comes from primarily the thick instrumentation and the momentum of the songwriting, but I would say alot of metal bands actually play their instruments pretty tamely. Fast, but soft. I play metal riffs like SRV played blues riffs... played hard and floored. ) Also I solo quite alot like Stevie Ray Vaughan mixed with some more melodic classical shredding and occasionally the random-ish outbursts of furious notes of Slayer's Kerry King, all infused in to one. Suffice it to say I'm all over the place. I can actually carry a song too, which is a trait most local guitarists here seem to lack. Most of them only learn "tricks" or gimmicks, but when they play riffs or songs they just sound horrible.
Uuuh high and mighty, are we? And I was led to believe I was being the only one around here.
