    What's really bizarre is listening to an Aussie group, http://www.themcclymonts.net/[^] doing country music. Marc

      OK, so, I am a metalhead. I think most people know that. I play guitar, and am in a cover band, I also write my own songs. I'm forever trying to expand as a player, and so, while I hate country music, when Guitar Techniques magazine started a country column a year or so ago, I'd listen to the CD, and like what I heard, and so I started to learn to play it. I certainly wanted to be better at soloing over a major chord. Only, country is more than that. It's actually very jazzy, in the sense that instead of playing one scale, as rock often does, country players follow the chords a lot and use a lot of chromatics. I also love John 5, who plays for Rob Zombie, but plays country licks in his on stage solo. There's some amazing country picking on his solo CDs. Well, now I find myself buying CDs by Rascal Flatts ( in response to a Guitar World story ) and Brad Paisley ( he was also on Guitar Word, but I'd already heard him play on a ZZ Top covers CD and the latest from John Fogerty ). Should I call a doctor ? Have I become infected ?

        Someone that's really good at picking (banjo) - and quite untipped too - is the actor Steve Martin!

                Yeah, I understand. I am a metalhead too, loved the music since 1983 myself. As I've gotten older I've begun to like other types of stuff too. Now I say, I like everything from Garth Brooks to Metallica. Anyway, a while back, I heard of these guys. You should check them out. HILARIOUS... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayseed_Dixie[^]

                      I hate the 'vanilla' country I've heard in the past, and probably the caricatures of country I've seen in places like the Blues Brothers :-) I'd never heard country that had smoking lead guitar in it. I still am not fond of the vocal stylings in a lot of country, the style of singing does grate on me. For that reason, people like John 5 and Johnny Hiland acted as my gateway drugs, because there's no singing on them.

                      Playing it has certainly shot my guitar playing in the arm, I have been learning mostly country lead for a while now and just loving it.
