Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Thats the whole point, they dont always need to sing,sometimes they just need to lurk menacingly or growl a bit! It doesnt always have to be about a lead instrument, but more about the songs and the stories they tell. Possibly one of the reasons I went off Prog Rock. The blues legacy is that of three chords anyway, nowt wrong with that.

Are there any good guitarists out there anymore in bands? Seems they are all 3 chord wonders. The only one I can think of that can make a guitar "sing" is Lang.

Those bands just didnt seem to have the vituoso guitarists the likes of Page or Blackmore. The Valley Vegan...............

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Your confused?, try living in my head! I guess wht I was trying to make was 2 points and got confused again. 1. being a guitarist, I appreciate the instrument and its history in rock music and its innovators/original sounding guitar players. 2. the reason I went off prog was that I thought it was stale, gone a bit Spinal Tap, and my old age attention span was not what it used to be, and I felt there was loads more music out there to be heard.
