Unless you are talking about all aspects of that type of playing.. for example types of amps, types of strings, etc. Was just trying to show how complicated it could be if you try to categorize it all, showing that simple is better.

Basically i think it should just be the basic headings like rock, blues, country, folk, jazz, classical, electronica, etc. Then use a seperate one for lead/solo stuff and strumming (maybe just include those within the above).

I'd like to see a country style forum. I played metal music as a kid now I'm trying to learn country because that's what I listen to now.

I'm with you. The playing style/technique will follow on from the preferred music genre IMO.

A thumbpicking or Travis style section

[raybaro]

[Aunt Doty]

I like country and bluegrass!

[eddiez152]

Aunt Doty,

Both my favorite. Dolly,Emmy Lou,Vince Gill, well I can go on.
But I like all kinds of music.

[Aunt Doty]

Hi eddiez152,
I like those also. I really like Ann Murray, George Jones, too many to name! Thanks for replying to a newcomer!

I'm not sure if I should put this here, but ah well

How about you have the styles mentioned (blues, jazz, rock, folk, etc.) and for each, you coiuld have a sub area where members contribute cool chord progressions for that specific genre? This would be especially helpful for the jazz section, as the progressions are so hard to come up with in that area (at least for me!).

I think that you don't need to worry about keeping the music and playing styles seperate. I think that would overcomplicate things a lot.

Someone mentioned flatpicking would be a good one to include.

Also it would be nice to have some Gospel.

Blues is great and how to use double stops and partial chords making your music harmonize.
