Ok what's with all these lame ass fucking guitarists. Every one of them thinks that music is a sport. There's no competition in music. Just write whatever it is that you want and if it' s good people will listen and if not then it obviously sucks. Now, you could say that there are many bands that truly suck but you need to learn that its all opinion, if you dont like it then dont listen to it and shut the fuck up .Everywhere you go you see shit like " Dimebag's better" or "Gilbert's better than Lane".Just take it for what it is and enjoy it. To be honest i really love playing guitar and playing music in general b ut i swear some musicians are the most annoying close minded people i've ever met (myself included at times).
Another thing that pisses me off is when people say "Thats not music its just noise". The dictionary states music is, "any sweet, pleasing, or harmonious sounds or sound". Fuck that, what you find to be "sweet, ple asing, or harmonious" could be totally different than what i find to be "sweet, pleasing, or harmonious". Who's to say what series of notes or rhythm is pleasing or makes something musical? Did you invent "music"? No, you didnt so unless you can give me an answer that i cant disregard quit your whining and shut the hell up.
