like bduffy said jazz is a good idea. jazz rock fusion is pretty cool to. also look into classical stuff, some of the music is really pretty plus the classical guys use some cool techniques too.
good luck!

<b>AXE</b>:ok hate to turn the forum into a debate board, but i think that the only reason people like the beatles is cuz of peer pressure, i mean tons of people say you cant be a rock musician if you dont like the beatles!! just cuz they were the "rock inventors or w/e. i personally tolerate them, although nowhere man and let it be are alright.

Re: Mrs. Heartake (opinion needed please)chouse suggestion open (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
cool way to be creative. no suggestions for the chorus though. but keep writing! even if the song you write completley sucks keep it cuz you might need it later. sometimes ill write a bunch of crappy songs, then use bits and peices of all of em and make a good song.
good luck

Re: Greatest Christmas Song Ever? (11 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
alright i know this isnt traditional or anything but father christmas by the kinks is awesome! my favorite traditional song is probably "chestnuts roasting over an open fire" like the other guy said. also if you ever get a chance to listen to the original alan lomax version of "rise up shepherd and follow" i reccomend it, especially if your really into folk music.
merry christmas!

Re: Getting the timing right (5 replies, posted in Acoustic)
totally! playing with a good drummer is so much better than a mentronome i also love how two guitars playing at the same time can accent eachother and come up with some cool stuff. the only problem with a band is that you might get stuck with some people who totally stink!

Re: F chord troubles (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
the main point in an F, or any bar chord, is to use the side of ur index finger, not the fleshy part. its a lot easier once you play so many bar chords your finger caluses. but be careful, if ur a begginer ur fingers can uncalus, and u hav to start over again!!
