The Music

Every guitar player loves the blues, but how many of us were actually born into poverty in Mississippi? And can anyone honestly claim to have heard the complete recordings of Charley Patton? Never mind.

We all want to improve our music theory, but how many of us actually have the time to study it? Practising our instrument is difficult enough on its own.

Every guitarist has played the acoustic at one time or another, but how many of us really sound any good unplugged?

Every electric guitar player likes rock music, but how many of us actually own a rack full of classic rock albums? What's the easiest way to be the best player in the guitar shop? Never mind.

Most electric guitar players like their music heavy, but how many of us really know the difference between Doom and Death metal? Which bands' riffs are cool, and which ones will get you laughed out of the guitar shop? Never mind.

We'd all like to say we understand jazz, but how many of us really know the difference between a Wes Montgomery and a Joe Pass solo?
