One doesn't have to be sad, blue, and depressed to play guitar.
That sounds like my grandmother saying that rock isn't music because it doesn't relax you. Music has different purposes for different artists and listeners. There is room for everything.
Can you relate to rap?
Can you relate to blues?
Can you relate to jazz?
Can you relate to speed metal?
Can you relate to classical?
Why or why not?
I can't relate to country and I admit it. I stay clear of pickup trucks, budweiser, and chew.

Hi Colin,
I am of the opinon that if you want someone who really "feels" there guitar playing Yngwie is NOT the peron to listen to.
BB King is no guitar virtuoso but he can OWN a single note guitar solo better than Yngwie ever could. The hallmark of a good guitar solo doesn't HAVE to be blazing speed or the ability to use guitar trickery to exact emotive energies from your listeners.
I relate to all of the above music. I relate to country too....though I don't particularly like it...there are some guitar players that I can relate to and appreciate for their ability.
I think the most moving solo I have ever seen personally was at a Santana show in the early 90's when his bass player played Little Wing on a 6-string bass.
