If you HAD to play in only one style

[R_of_G]

Hypothetically speaking, if you could only play one style/genre of music with your guitar, what would it be and why?

For me it'd likely be punk because it is the truest way for me to express my thought process.

 

[Bloozcat]

Oh, wait, wait...I know this one...

Is it the Blooz...?

 

[Ro3b]

LOUD music.

 

[mrmudcat]

BLUES AND SWAMP BOOGIE:beer:

 

[Big K]

Blues based Rock

 

[Robert]

Jazz, because to me, it's the most interesting and rewarding way of expressing oneself musically.

 

[tunghaichuan]

Scandanavian death metal

tung

 

[stingx]

Swamp Ass Swing!

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Rock with blues flavors. I can get away with a lot of different stuff with that.

 

[R_of_G]

Scandanavian death metal

tung

Forgive my ignorance of the genre, but does it differ from "American" death metal [other than lingusitically]?

I don't think there is any difference really, the Scandanavian bands are just cooler

[R_of_G]

If You Could Only Play In One Style

Like MUDMAN, Blues and swamp boogie because it's all in the "swing and the sway". :AOK:

 

[Tone2TheBone]

'50s swing rock n' roll ala Gene and Eddy.

 

[just strum]

Blues. Mainly because it really is the root of so much of the music I listened to while growing up and even today.

 

[aeolian]

Disco, of course! I challenge anyone to tell me how any other style can be better! ;-)

 

[duhvoodooman]

Polkas. I play them on my Epiphone Dot. Guess you could say it's my polka-Dot. I just put on my favorite polka CD and play accordionly....






OK, OK, no more lousy puns. Blues/rock for me. :rockon:

My take? Scandinavian death metal bands are real. Most U.S. ones are an attempt to shock or sell. The Scandinavian ones burn churches. Notoriously one made necklaces out of the skull fragments of their lead singer who shot himself to death and used a picture of his corpse as an album cover.

I'm not saying that's a GOOD thing, mind you . . .

Back on topic: probably blues-based rock. Yeah, that term can apply to anything from SRV to Deep Purple to 80s metal, but I don't care.

 

[R_of_G]

Thanks for the info Marnold. That def sounds like dedication to one's art!

[tot_Ou_tard]

[R_of_G]

Ummmm...guitar music .

There's always one smart-ass and it's usually you Tot. Of course that's what I like about you.:AOK:

 

[Spudman]

Progressive. There are no limitations.

 

[LagrangeCalvert]

Retro Rock......its my style.

Or (what we have been called also) Blues-Metal.

Blues metal. That sounds VERY interesting and like something I would enjoy a lot LC.

 

[Kazz]

The blues man.....there aint nuttin better than the blues

 

[cherokee747]

BLUES!!! Chasin that Devil music:AOK:

 

[t_ross33]

Given my background, upbringing etc. I'd have to say Country/Rock, if joining two genres by a slash makes it one genre

But I'd love to say blues... I don't play blues much, at least not specifically THE BLUES, but if I couldn't play more than one type of music, it would have to be blues.

I woke up this mahnin'
Tried to ease this achin' head
Said I woke up this mahnin'
Tried to ease this achin' head
Want to play some country moozik
All I can play is Howlin' Wolf instead

Or sumptin' like that

 

[warren0728]

[Ro3b]

Ok, ok. Punk. And that covers a lot of ground musically too: Stooges, Velvet Underground, Clash, Ramones, Television, Ruts, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains.
