Nah, I am yust in one of my moods...I have written a few threads before, when in a state of delirium this big serious questions come to my mind... :)
Anyhow, we were at a gig yesterday.And the owner of the club where we jammed
is also a guitarist. A damn good one too, much better than me.(Of course, that is not much of an achievement...) Anyhow, at the end, few people stayed, we were playing Hey Joe, and out of nowhere he popped out with this beautiful sunburst strat. And he asks if he could play.So I gave him my cable, he plugged in, I did the singing and he played the guitar. Did a great yob at it too. Of course, after that it was obvious we had to play one more song at least. So the keyboard player left, just bass and drums and we were exchanging on his strat. Played blues, just instrumental. And afterwards, of course, we padded each other on the shoulder and went drinking.And we were discussing how very different styles we play. His blues, was, well, bluesy. Know what I mean? Soft runs, bluesy type. Mine was more in the line of rock and roll, with a lot of fast runs and stuff. And a strat didn"t feel at home. Know what I mean? I play Ibanez for years.So, finally, the question. Sorry for the long intro, folks.
To anyone who doesn"t want to read a bible I wrote upwards, here is the main point.
Everybody has their own unique style, depending on a person.But is it yust a matter of peronal preferences?Or does it have to do with a guitar too?
For example, I have this Ibanez, and I am more of a hard rock type of guy. Blues, metall, country, jazz...Never quite felt at home there.Of course, it is hard to define these types of playingcause they flow over each other, but... If I bought a strat five years back, when I got an Ibanez, would it aspire me to become more of a blues type of player?I mean lead my style in that direction. Or if I had bought a Jackson, would I become a shredder?Or something in the line of that.Sorry If I can"t explain it better, (still have a mean hangover) but I think you get the drift.What do you guys think about that?Or am I just stone crazy? :D
