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.
You're damn right I'm high and mighty about my guitar playing, I've worked hard on it and I'm good at it.
Having listened to you play, I must agree: you are extremely talented...!
Thank you! Although truthfully I did kind of go overboard on that post... I wasn't really trying to come off that way but I was a little sauced and I kind of lost track of how much I'd said already and before long a few sentences became a long run-on paragraph without my full consent. :P
You are more than welcome...you have made a fan out of one who might not ordinarily enjoy non-lyrical guitar and drum mixes...I am looking forward to playing your covers when I return home to my 11.1 surround system in August. I am anticipating feeling the full impact of the music at full throttle...currently as good as the headphone version is I suspect it is not doing it justice...
