We'll definitely have to do a debate in a month or so in that format! I play so many different styles. Whatever is musical and melodic, I play. I'm really into soul, jazz, funk, blues, and rock when it comes to playing. I also learn a few bluegrass and classical songs every once in a while.

Neither am I. I just came off of a two-year hiatus about two weeks ago.

Sorry Wall--all my demos are in storage. Twerent no computers back then to copy stuff into. All on (gasp) cassette tapes!! No point in accepting as I would not win now.

Erm, I dabble. I've been playing on and off for about 8 years. There are a few songs I can play really well but for the most part I just forget everything because I practice so infrequently.... like, basically not at all. And usually if I get around to playing, it's jamming with a few people while drunk so that doesn't really count as practice haha

Scratch that, more like 6 years.

lol, I've played for five year, but the in the past two years I've played a handful of times. I was getting regressively worse until 2 weeks ago, when I started playing again. So, I'm using this debate as an excuse to get back into it!

Regardless, it would have to be you playing now during the debate's duration to qualify.

Yep. YouTube videos. Anyone with an iPhone or Droid can upload videos. It's easy.

It's a really awesome idea for a fun debate. I'll definitely be watching it.

So, what are your favorite songs to play, WSA?

I love playing rap songs. The one's with good backing tracks are fun to play along with and solo over. The songs "Put On" "American Boy" "Empire State of Mind" "Yes" "Player's Ball" "Roses" "Touch the Sky" "Kick, Push" and "Superstar" are all really great songs in their own rite, and fun to play along with!

Then there's Soul (I include Motown and Disco, don't judge) with people like Aretha Franklin, The O'Jays, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, Aloe Blacc, Etta James, Ray Charles, and the Jackson 5.

Classical - Rachmaninov (hard as balls), Variety of Spanish guitar songs, and Wedding Songs

Blues - B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Albert King

I like to play comedy songs from Flight of the Conchords, The Axis of Awesome, and Tripod.

Rock - everything from the stupid, fun rock of AC/DC to Dream Theater

Jazz - we'll be here all day if I start naming Jazz songs and musicians.

There's a lot more.

I pretty much only play stoner metal (pretty blues-ey), punk, and rock. Some classic rock. and shiit I made up. Never touched jazz, classical, motown, soul, rap, or actual blues.

This is one of my favorite songs to play. So fun.

It's super fun to play... Your fingers bounce around nicely. It's hard to explain :)

Guitars!

Theres people who "play with a guitar" like me and you and then theres this guy.

I know a few chords, but I don't actively play.

I don't find sweep picking interesting. I'd rather have a musician play one note, and make love to that note, giving it all the soul in his being. People playing scales and arpeggios as fast as they can isn't particularly melodic and musically interesting.
