I'm only 19, so please don't have a go at me if any of the above information is incorrect.. it's all accurate as far as I know.

=)

I am 19 also. So I have no grounds to attack, lol. So yeah. Now I see why I do not know who those bands are. I do not listen to those genres usually. I listen mainly to heavy metal.

Peace out, GuitarAnatomy.

I'm a rocker, check out www.myspace.com/peepshowroxx

I just have a pretty diverse taste =)


Oh f**k, if no-one mentioned it,

Leonard Cohen - Suzanne

..... absolutely f**k beautiful.

About a woman who went from being the wife of a famous architect to being a vagrant on the streets of San Fransisco (where she remains)..

My main love is rock'n'roll, glam rock, classic rock etc, but this is a thread about sad songs and I generally find folk music to be the most emotional genre (in my opinion)

Cool. That band is not bad sounding on MySpace. I found a metal band the other day who was not half bad, I was like "No one has signed you to a record label yet?" Lol. For a new metal band they were pretty cool.

But I see the style of music you listen to. I like a lot of classic rock, but the glam-metal thing is not me. The whole Warrent, Quiet Riot, Motley Crew, thing, is just not my style. Bon Jovi (Who I am not sure we can call glam) is alright though. But I love classic rock, play a lot of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Beatles, etc...

My main game is the heavy metal, so Metallica has always been a favorite. However, I love the bands of the 90's, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Guns and Roses (GnR), Collective Soul, and so on and so forth.

I'm into Motley Crue, Guns'n'Roses etc.. I think they're different from glam bands such as Bon Jovi, Warrant, etc.

But yeah I'm into all that, the Stones, Zeppelin etc, punk bands such as the Misfits, New York Dolls.. then everything else, country, folk, soul..

It helps alot, I wouldn't be able to work if I only focused on one style of music.. you need to be versatile to work as a session musician.

Correction, you need to be versatile as any kind of musician, lol. I play many genres even though I am into metal. I play Latin music, techno, but my specialty is Middle Eastern. I am very big on playing pieces with that Middle Eastern vibe to them.

I think it is important for any musician to branch themselves out. If you stick to just one format of music you will never achieve what you are looking for in my opinion.

Forget the radio and love songs, I think life is depressing at times period. *Shrug*

Peace out, GuitarAnatomy.

I didn't know that about you...I'm a real fan of MidEast music. My favorite styles are Jordanian, Morrocan, Egyptian and Lebanese. Check out Farid Al Atareche sometime.

Alright man, thanks. I have been wondering where to start listening to some good stuff, I will check this guy out soon.

Yeah though, I love Middle Eastern, I do not know what country to specify it too. But it is more so that Arabian sound (I think it is called this). I want to start studying it more so and transcribing pieces to the guitar.

Then you'll dig Farid Al Atareche. He is probably the greatest oud player in recent history. Have you ever played an oud? It's the Arab forerunner to the guitar.

I want to learn how to play the oud, especially after watching him. Thank you for the recommendation, that guy is amazing. I have already begun ear tabbing pieces of his songs. *Thumbs up*

Elvis Costello - So like candy

Good for you. We are auditioning an oud player here for the ensemble, in January.

Check out Farid Al Atareche sometime.

Are you spelling that right? Can't find anything on Google, even without the quotes????
