biglappy	folk music not suitable for the guitar? (119* d)	RE: folk music not suitable for the guitar?	14 Oct 04
I'm not sure you guys have the right ideas here. I like a guitar and it really is the instrument of the blues. For traditional songs, though, the chords are often too "thick". Those traditional ballads often had pentatonic or hexatonic scales and it is difficult to play guitar chords that really belong without playing notes that are not in the scale of the ballad. This will feel "wrong", to asensitive musician.
