I think they do want to have ID considered scientific or else they wouldn't be trying to have it introduced into biology classrooms.
I play a lot of different types of music; mostly country, blues, old time mountain music. I grew up wanting to play like Eddie Van Halen though so I don't want to be pigeon-holed into any one thing.
Btw, it's nice to talk about something non-controversial :)
(I don't think anybody actually changes any opinions in threads like these yet I can't keep away lol)
I try to put in an hour or two a night on my guitar. (I just broke down and bought a Gibson Les Paul last summer. :-) I play mostly rock and blues, but I'm too old to break in to those genre's. I'm thinking maybe there's still hope in the Country Music Genre. But these days it seems you got to look good to get a contract. Maybe I could play back-up.
Go to my forum page and if you scroll to the bottom (past all that fundamentalist religious stuff) you will find a few links to guitar tabs and lessons on line. Trufire.com is part of Guitar Player Magazine and they have some really cool online lessons you can download.
