classic rock in general is such an awesome genre of music to be interested in when you are just learning guitar...it is much easier to see your improvement, as well as enjoy it, which is why we play music. i started playing almost 4 years ago with a love of classic rock and the blues, and it carried me into what i do know...which is slightly more complicated. haha. but i still appreciate what those genres gave to me confidence-wise in the early part of guitar-dom. ACDC and punk rock where my first fuel depots for the supply of bitchin' riffs that i crank out today.
