So is this primarily a heavy metal/hard rock guitar player's forum?

I've been taking lessons from a new guy who is a metal shredder type but he has me playing a jazzy type chord progression while limiting myself to pentatonics. Anyway I picked up a book on pentatonics from Guitar Center on Saturday and most of the examples are geared more toward the bluesier side. I've actually been having a blast working through it.

When I as 14 I had already been playing guitar for a couple years and started getting into some blues. Scored tickets to bluesfest for like 7 dollars with B.B King, Buddy Guy, fabulous thunderbirds, and Joe Cocker. I left before Joe Cocker played and fully expected B.B. to be the best act but Buddy Guy was amazing. Afterwards I got into stuff like really old John Lee Hooker and a few others but never learned any songs or blues licks. I just used the stereotypical pentatonics that Angus Young, Tony Iommi, Jimmy Page on down through Kirk Hammet and Dave Mustaine used repeatedly. So it's really nice to try some different stuff using the same scale I felt like I knew well. I really need to work on my bends and vibrato as well.


Anyway, welcome to Rig-Talk. I think pretty much any music related topic has potential for discussion as long as there is some guitar work in there somewhere.
 
Is Light Metal heavier than Hard Rock?
Lithium isn't heavier than Peridotite.
Or is it?
 
People are fine here and the mods don’t have a stick up their ass. Trolling is actually considered what trolling meant like 10 years ago and not what some PC snowflakes define it these days.
And if you want to go full shittard-mode, there’s still the off topic section.
