But I still find lots of pop, funk, country, classic rock, MOR rock etc. To listen to and more importantly gig regularly enough to be content.
Gear wise I was more into PA and lights for years so only has a couple of guitars and the same amp for decades (still got it).
Horses for courses. Plough your own furrow.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
This is a valid observation but circumstances are a key factor. They also change for better or worse. Gear gets bought and gear gets sold. Threads often ask for gear lists. I will state what I have ,not that in the mid 80s i had one bass borrowed amps and could only afford a kebab as an anniversary dinner.
This is not me having a go, maybe my having more gear than a shop is offensive to people with minimal gear (and i apologise if it appears boastful), but I have been there and I maybe there again in the future.
nah, you're not weird. Half of the guitarists on the planet share your opinion. The other half is supporting the music you dislike.
Now what would be atypical: a guitarist that truly loves every genres. Men can't do that generally
Also 100% agree regarding what you said about widdly wanking solos and 'blues'.
In many ways Fleetwood Mac and Rumours is the epitome of a great album - I use this example mainly as it is so well known - But 100% tune based with some tasteful licks when required which on the likes of Go Your Own Way just adds good tension to the song
Yet equally I have a shed load of guitar based albums - The likes of Gary Moore and SRV and I can go weeks, even months without playing them - Then play one SRV track and it reminds me of why I was first hooked on him when I first came across him in the 80's - I don't feel I need to listen to such songs all the time - But great to go back to them when I need/want to
Good that we don't all like the same thing - Even better if you can delve in/out as required and experience other flavours
the hipster, noisy, don't like what others like, indie brooder is the liberals.
