I am in my forties and I think it’s great so many younger players and listeners are embracing the music I grew up with. These certainly is no shortage of great players today, but classic rock is big with plenty of younger players and even, well… kids. My 12 year old daughter has friends that love the Beatles and Jimmy Hendrix. How cool is that. Some of them have Hannah Montana and Creedence on the same iPod.
I find this amazing and I want to know why you think this is happening.
I would like to hear from you if you have been able to work the classic rock guitar riffs when you jam with your rock band, when you rehearse, or even when you are songwriting. Even if you learn the riffs note-for-note they will sound quite different in other types of music. Your creativity will invent new places for your arsenal of tricks. If you spend a fraction of the time practicing these classic rock riffs people spend on Guitar Hero or Rock Band your playing will improve dramatically in a short time.
Also, I would love to hear from you and find out about the style of music you play and if you have a rock band. Tell me about your band and what inspires you.
