    I suspect that hot girls are hot, and some like country. For sure, the girls I see on 'metal' websites, don't look like most of the ones I see at metal gigs.

        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 ?

                          I agree, and it's precisely that attitude that had me walking this path, it's just that I did not expect it to lead where it did :)

                            Actually, I have one, and another with humbuckers ( the only way I could get a lefty thinline ). I love it, it's a very honest guitar.

                            Honestly, given they play with a clean sound, they probably shred BETTER than most rock dudes.

                              Exactly my thought... The most excitement and danger anyone ever experienced in Nashville was the night that some fool suggested that there might be a need for a fourth chord in country music; mayhem ensued...

                              Will Rogers never met me.
