I enjoy listening to rock most.
As far as playing goes I have been playing blues for many years and really enjoy getting into the blues groove. It gives me a chance to express my personal blues I guess and delve into the intricacies of my personal reality; close my eyes and get deep into the vibes.
I can also play straight out, non introverted blues to great pleasure.
I like to play rock as well but have a natural ability to play blues and I try to nurture my natural tendency. Rock is harder for my to figure out, play. I do like to let loose and rock and roll though with no regard for unexpected mistakes, even though I try to keep them at the minimum but when you rock out you don't think about mistakes you just want to hit it hard.
I am not into progressive rock or overly organized rock. I'm into rock and roll; you know rock and roll with it, a few mistakes are okay and you might never play it the same way twice.
My friends have been in super serious rock bands where everything has to be perfect and I can see where that would be a lot of work and not so much fun.
I'm even developing some of my own country rythyms lately. Nothing main stream, but more like the natural vibe I get from the blues.
Strangely, I don't like to listen to blues as much as I do rock, but I like to play blues more, get into that blues groove and I'm a fairly decent blues drummer as well, drumming being my main and first serious instrument. They are set up in my living room now and I need to practice them but I am always practicing guitar. Just got a Gibson Faded SG brown brand new for 500 out the door with a fairly decent Gibson gig bag and strings. Perfect low action and incredible tone. Great buy at GC in Rockville, Md., I'm from Winfield, Pa.
I look for deals. That was the fourth of July sale. I make out on a seven hundred dollar guitar for five hundred. I thought I did well and I went in with no expectations. I think it's best that way. The SG plays the blues fairly good too, as well as the LP and the various strats I have.
