Is it possible to love guitar, playing, writing, performing. And at the same time not love Metal. Personally I am not a big metal fan, but the Vast Majority of those on this site it seems are. Is that because in metal the guitar is the Focal point of the whole music structure? Is it that metal showcases some of the most technically challenging finger gymnastics? And does a love of metal preclude you from learning, enjoying, or appreciating other styles and genres. I can understand the lack of any discussion or for that matter tabs. I guess it could be argued that other genres don't use the guitar much. And in the case of electronic and rap (say Moby and method man) this seems obvious. But what about for example The Cult. It would be hard to argue that the Cult was not guitar centric?
I was inspired to start playing guitar when I saw the awesome guitar skills of the heavy metal artists but the music is abit to loud for me. I want alittle softer rock like you would have heard during the 70s and 80s time frame. Some of my favorite bands off the top of my head would be Pink Floyd, Petra, Eagles, Sick Puppies exe..
So yea I am with ya Midimcnasty
