Does /mu/ unironically hate guitar music?

>>68424367
No, it's just underage kids shitposting and trying to fit in.

>>68424367
The only guitar music I like is folk

>>68424424
Why?

>>68424424
Folk is a huge genre though, there is folk country, folk metal, old old folk, old folk, german folk, etc etc etc

and then there is Don Ross

what does guitar music mean? like ? John Fahey? do you mean rock, punk and folk music? People here love that shit.

The only guitar music I don't like is simplistic acoustic strumming

No

If you think it's boring you probably just have shit taste.

Guitar is more beholden to experimentation than almost any other instrument.

there's this place called /bleep/ on here that loves to jack it over the fact they don't like guitars and how they're inferior but besides that nah

>>68424456
>folk country, folk metal
thats country and metal

>>68424367
The best thing that ever happen music since drums.

>>68424495
ahahahhahahahahhaha

>Radiohead is the most popular band here

>>68424516
The first music was probably just drums though.

>>68424493
>The only guitar music I don't like is simplistic acoustic strumming
you clearly haven't listened to much folk. Finger picking is some of the most complex styles out there

>>68424545
Exactly.

>>68424511
Traditional Country is a subgenre of Folk Music.
You are right about metal.
>>68424424
Folk =/= Guitar Music.
>>68424367
It's alright, but fails to reach the peaks of other kinds of music. My favorite kind of guitar music probably is Acoustic Blues.

Why does /mu/ like monotonous music? I've been here since 2012 and I still don't understand why you would choose to listen to guitar music that was so monotone over melodic guitar music.

>>68424610

Lurk more.

>>68424592
>but fails to reach the peaks of other kinds of music.
like classical? I can't imagine anything else

>>68424636
Classical, Jazz and Electronic.
Rock still has masterpieces, but nowhere near these other genres in both quality and quanity.

>>68424705
2010, with Georg Friedrich Haas' Limited Approximations.

>>68424678
depends on how you classify a peak. Do you mean complex song writing? some can easily compare to classical and jazz. If you mean popularity folk can easily beat all 3 you mention (I know popularity doesn't make good music). But there are plenty of iconic folk songs that people know far more than any classical song, let along Jazz or electronic. This is a genre that , depending on how you classify it, goes back 400 years

>>68424678
I honestly heard maybe 3 electronic songs in my entire life that I thought were good, and /bleep/ only listens to generic edm shit, the /mu/ memes like autechre, aplex etc.. are quite boring as well, if there is anything of worth in electronic music, rec me it

>>68424424
I like folk too, but holy shit man there's so many guitar genres

>>68424495
this

>>68424526
you're a faggot

>>68424542
It's genuinely sad that Radiohead classifies as "guitar music" more so than guitar-centric bands/artists. I mean it's guitar music, I guess, but could /mu/ really not pick anything better?

Classical music and /mu/core buff reporting in.

I've unironically hated virtually every single display of electric guitar virtuosism I've ever heard.
Electric guitar is an incredible insturment to me until you try to play it ''right''.

>>68424908
>Electric guitar is an incredible insturment to me until you try to play it ''right''.
This man gets it.

>>68424908
>Electric guitar is an incredible insturment to me until you try to play it ''right''.
Elaborate?

>>68424954
He's saying it's potential threshold for experimentation (which is imperceptibly enormous) is more compelling than what a guitar is technically capable of.

>>68424763
>depends on how you classify a peak.
That's the problem with my way to classify a peak, it's based on the ability of the song to convey emotions, which in the end relies on myself and my perception.
>>68424839
I'll try to cover a few different electronic genres.

Electronic music

I think that's applicable across all instruments, honestly

but yeah i'd rather hear a blink 182 song than a jeff beck solo. yes, he's amazing, but it's just boring. too good, almost.

>>68424975
So...like Don Ross, some folk music here

I get it, though I assume not guitar solos as a whole right?
Some are really beautiful, one of my current favourites

I really don't think so, but it may be acquired taste.

To be specific I'm extremely fond on the sound produced by a well played cello, piano, harpsichord, most classical instruments really.

But electric guitar? Fuck that. Play it in a virtuoso way and it won't show any trace of elegance. To me it sounds extremely vulgar, especially when no effects are applied.

To me its strenght resides in its absolute freedom in textures and timbre through pedals. You can't really play a beautiful Bach on a guitar, but you can still come out with Loveless.

>>68425145

>>68424678
>Classical, Jazz and Electronic.
But anon, Classical and Jazz music IS guitar music.

>>68425020
that's all some pretty metal shit there (though I skipped through to sample as much as I could). I love metal but that's not exactly saying electonic sticks above other genres, that's more putting it into one.

If I were to pick an electronic band it would be Shpongle. It's electronic world music I guess, but it grabs enough from world music and puts it into really trippy acid electo dance.

>>68425155

Was there anything like Loveless before Loveless? No.
Is Loveless a strong enough album to justify its gimmicks? Yes.

To me that's enough to see Loveless as a necessary album, wethere I like it or not. It's a new, sincere, deliberate and carefully mastered point of view on what you can do with music, so I'm glad it's out there.

>>68425105

Ugliest and most uninspired music I've heard today.

Josh Homme said: guitar solos should be about making fun of guitar solos

>>68425105
things that make the guitar amazing is as follows
1.Riffs
2.Versatility and room for experimentation

everyone else is wrong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kli8SAeE2M0

>>68425212
What's wrong with it?

>>68425250
>Riffs
metalhead here and this is not true at all. Riffs are one way of writing music and not the entirety of the instrument. You are giving guitar players a bad name.

>>68425290
I'm just saying it's the best thing that ever came out of guitar music and I've been playing guitar for about 8 years now

>>68424489
Is your collective taste really that bad?

>>68425319
>8 years
ok, that's fine you are just growing into your instrument. You will probably never get tired of making riffs, I never have, but you will branch out and experiment with stuff beyond that. There is a lot to learn about the instrument, don't hide behind what you know

piano/keyboard >>>>>>>>>>>>>> geetah

>>68425395
I've been experimenting a lot with effects on guitar forever and been mostly making mathy prog/post recently, I just think riffs are still the best thing that came out of the guitar

>>68424757
Brit club banter general featuring the occasional choon

>>68425455
you are relying on effects, that is only you should do late in composition. Think about the instrument and what you want to do first. Early on in playing I picked up a multi effect pedal but traded it back in very quickly because I realized it was more of a barrier to me at that stage. You need to learn to explore and write your instrument fully first, THEN add in effects and stuff. Honestly, learn a couple other instruments first and then go back to effects for your guitar. Every new instrument you learn will teach you stuff about your guitar.

>>68425616
lmao in no way am I relying on effects, I've only been experimenting with them and trying cool sounds, 99% of my music is composed without any usage of effects

>>68425642
ok good. Effects are usually best as an after thought. Hell, most of my best death/black metal riffs were written acoustic

>>68426064
All my riffs are written on a clean sound, but I usually like to compose with guitar pro

>>68426099
>guitar pro
cool. I tried that a few times but i always ended up fucking around and making shit that was impossible to play. So anything I wrote on there had to stay in there.

btw, this is what I mean by experimenting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnQvzsmlwlg


When I was learning I used to do weird stuff like this (not nearly this good of course), but for a song I took a hair comb to my guitar and when raked it hard for a cool effect (ended up busting a few strings on stage but that adds to it). experimenting is great. Hope you continue to do that.

>>68424367
I call all music that uses a guitar 'country music'.

>>68424495
>not a modular synth
Okay

>>68426281
Yeah used to listen to a ton of this acoustic-percussive stuff a couple of years back
There's also a guy that made a full metal track with a comb

>almost
And yes, not a modular synth. Dumbfuck.

>>68426352
Eklundh is a genius

>>68426352
yeah, that's really well done. Of course I prefer what I wrote, which was against a backdrop of my other bandmates, which made my chaos not really a lead but atmophere. It was about a minute of the song breaking down which is what made it fun.

glad to hear that someone made that idea sound precise though

Since all guitar music is pop music right? Also despite the fact that "pop" is ultimately a completely meaningless term and doesn't describe the same things that it was used to describe originally
