I'm mostly into traditional folk songs and I love instrumental music (mostly jigs and reels), but unfortunately the only instrument I play truly proficiently right now is clarinet. I guess you could call it genre bending to play "Strayaway Child" on clarinet, since as far as I know that is NOT a traditional instrument (baroque maybe).

In any case, it's really easy to switch music between genres. Metallica and the Misfits did it with "Whiskey in the Jar," and it sucked, but then again, it's way easier to switch an electric song to acoustic and have it sound good then it is to switch acoustic or traditonal music to electric--imagine "Strayaway Child" on an electric guitar!
