The majority of my favourite music generally contains either a)guitar parts I can't play yet and am impressed with b) songs I can sing, and enjoy doing so e.g. Pearl Jam, Faith No More. Sometimes the two happen together e.g. Extreme.
I used to be merely a guitar freak but I really like some classical music as well, particularly scary piano and violin stuff.
I like some shred but it's got to be musical; if I want really boring shred then I'll just do it myself cause sweeping, tapping and harmonics are about all I practice with my right hand playing.
Some songs I really like have no particularly impressive guitar parts e.g. some Alannis Morrisette e.g. thankyou.
I love some Jazz but I need to know of some more great players.
