Hi, I've not been here for a while but I thought I'd visit. I have a bit of an issue at the moment, and others may feel the same too, so here goes:
I listen to mostly metal and hard rock: Megadeth, Metallica, Maiden, etc, and I absolutely love listening to it. Now, when it comes to playing it, I just don't get the same joy out of it. It's the same if I write my own metal song.
I don't listen to funk or blues, but often, that's what I enjoy playing. For example, I just love to funk out or improvise over the blues scale. Yet I wouldn't usually listen to this stuff.
Anyone else have this problem? I feel it's because the bass is more prominent in the latter genres, but not so much in metal (Ok, Maiden and Megadeth may be exceptions
What do you guys reckon?
