What Musical Style of Player are You?

[Bogner]

I know many of us jump around a bit style wise as guitar players but what style primarily would you say is home for you?

I hang my hat on the metal side most times but can play various styles.

I’m split pretty evenly between rock and metal.

Jazzy blues I guess

The term metal is super subjective but I chose it because I like a heavier tone and chunk to my playing than rock guys I have jammed with. I love Pantera and bands like Lamb of God but don’t want to play like them.

It is hard for me to pick just one style. I would say that my style is a blend of Rock, Country, Blues with a little Bluegrass thrown in. I have times when I go a little metal as well. My style is a combination of everything I have ever heard that I thought was interesting.

I find that I look at music a little different than many people. To me it is about the energy that the song provides. This was a big thing when I was playing in Bluegrass bands. We would play around with the key and tempo to get the energy of the song where we liked it. You could really feel it when you found the combination that just worked. This brings me to like songs in just about all genres. I like some genres more than others but I never discount a genre because I don't like most of the songs that I have heard that are categorized as that genera. A good example of this is that I am not a big fan of Jazz or Rap. However, I have heard songs in both of those genres that I thought were good songs.

I am blues based but also play some smooth jazz, bossa nova, and some classic rock

So your musical "tone" is metal. What is your musical style(s)?

Metal. Thrashhardcoredeathmetal.

 

[Texas_minor_blues]

a little metal, a little rock, a little latin rock, a little blues, and classical I like to dabble lol

 

[jak3af3r]

Of that list, I've only ever not done any sort of performance in the metal genre.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

All Country all the time.

 

[CVS]

All Country all the time.

And all this time, I was thinking you were into latin music and Bossa Nova

I like riffs like the original Dio band, Dio era Sabbath, and similar. I love listening to other guitarists but like to play this style, and also take lighter rock stuff but play it with a heavy tone. Beef it up!

 

[alantig]

Barely. As in "that's barely music".

 

[alantig]

He didn't say which country.

When I'm not playing guitar, or being paid to do a gig in whatever style the client insists on, I spend most of my studio time in orchestral music. I guess you might call that Classical, though the term really refers more to an era than to describe music made with orchestra instruments, and I lean toward more modern influences.

Oh, sure, for me 'modern' is like up to the 1940s or so...

But when I'm playing guitar, I most like to record textural electronica, because I'm into that, too. It wasn't a choice, so I put 'other'.

It's interesting to see what everyone's into.

However, I can't imagine any metal players taking my tone suggestions seriously!

Not that I dislike metal, I do it when I'm paid to go there, and I'll sketch out an idea for someone I hire to play. It's not my thing and I profess no expertise whatsoever. For other styles, I can offer useful suggestions from time to time.

But yes, metal players, you should NEVER take my tone advice!!!

"Actually, Les, no one takes your tone advice. Ever. People are into their own things."

"Seriously? But I know my sh!t."

"Sh!t is an appropriate word to describe how people feel about your tone preferences."

"Hmmm. Good to know!"

Rock Jazz Blues Country with a Jam vibe and Punk attitude....or "other"
