do you hate listening to guitar music?

[Dickarms]

i do. coworker is listening to jeff healey band, and the guitar is going crazy on some drawn out blues masturbation session. its awesome you can play, but fuck. shut up! how many bends and half bends can we take

[Adrian]

Fuck no. GTFO.

[Nateispro]

I just can't listen to a style of music that i'm playing regularly... If i'm playing a lot of metal im playing i usually listen to techno and soft instrumental stuff and vise-verca

[benjamin801]

I don't hate listening to guitar music in general, but I sure do hate listening to 99% of all blues recorded in the last 40 years. I wish Jeff Healey hadn't been blind.

[ovid9]

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of stuff like that. I totally respect the ability, but full on guitar instrumental stuff or "songs" that are just vehicles for wanking, not my thing.

I wish I could play like that. I wouldn't use it like that, but it'd be awesome to be able to.

[Dickarms]

i mean, agian, its AWESOME. just doesnt hold my attention for shit.

[ovid9]

i mean, agian, its AWESOME. just doesnt hold my attention for shit.

Yup.

lol word wrap ftw

[CrunchBerries]

TO me it completely depends on the piece. Some compositions are a masterpiece, some are just noise. There is also the "what tickles your star" factor.

[Gunslinger]

I love it, but I can only listen to it for so long before it all starts to sound the same and get boring.

Joe Satriani otoh is a different story.

[Dickarms]

<<<has never listened to joe satriani or steve vai

[JohnB]

if its **bleep**, i hate it.

playing weedly weedly blues is kinda fun on occasion, but i dont want to listen to it unless it is an exceptionally clean & tasty player (ie. no weedly, lol)

[elder_things]

A lot of Satch's work just sounds like he's just floating on modes to me. Idk, some of his catalogue is killer though.

I'll take solid rhythm work over a big solo anyday. Then again I dig bands like Earthless.

[hardvalve]

I Liked Healey back in the day, but got old fast. Wanky Blues is fine once in a blue moon, but when I lived in Texas it was everywhere and ruined it for me. Metal.

[The Anomaly]

Well, I grew up in the 80's, loving shred, so . . .

[clipless bumper]

........I wish Jeff Healey hadn't been blind.

why? - so he could see the disgusted look on your face?

[i386]

I used to listen to a lot of guitar instrumental music. Malmsteen, Vai, Satch, E. Johnson, etc... It took many years, but finally this stuff just got on my nerves. I also learned that you can't assume something is easy to play just because it doesn't sound all weedly weedly weedly.

[Sasquatch]

Doesn't hold m attention nor get my musical juices flowing, but I don't mind listening for solo ideas.

[benjamin801]

why? - so he could see the disgusted look on your face?

Eh, I just figured if he could see, he would have done something else with his life. Maybe he would have lived a long and happy life as a dentist or CPA or something, and I never would have heard of him. I guess they would have had Robert Cray or someone as the house band in Roadhouse.

[TyroneBiggums]

No.

A-D-G bast avar

[K-Bizzle]

Not at all, as much I can enjoy shred I am much more interested in good song writing than I am with guitar gymnastics.

I'll take one vocal and a single acoustic instrument over any of that stuff.
Not that its not impressive but it doesn't make me feel anything therefore I simply don't care.

[valtyr]

Nope, I like some guitar music. The blues based stuff bores me. I like some Vai and Satriani but in limited doses.

I like some of the jazz/fusion groups like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Chick Corea Electric band.

[Tortuga]

Guitar Music - love it, be it

[cibyl]

Yup, instrumental, shred guitar music is is not my thing. The players that do that type of stuff are amazing players/musicians,....but in general it does nothing for me.
