There's no such thing as a wrong note or chord if you mean to play it. I applaud you for not going along with the typical shred/heavy metal or blues styles and finding your own style. Writing good songs though is the key and if you can do that with what you play, well, more power to ya!

I quite agree, but it still has to be worthy-- which is to say in addition to a new dynamic, it also needs a strong direction and coherence which may come from musical experience. Stick with your vision but allow some technical development too.

Hey all. I am somewhat of a guitarist, meaning that I play, but not like most people. Allow me to explain...I use alot of barre chords, power chords and ugly sevenths, diminished and noise in my compositions. i get alot of flack from scholastics telling me my sound will never work. but the question i pose to them is why not? is it not safe to say that the old, tried and true methods are now, for lack of better words"common knowledge"? maybe by playing the wrong note at the right time, or using clumsy phrasing and dischordant arrangement, WE CAN CREATE A NEW DYNAMIC. After all, isn't that what progressive means? i would love to hear any and all opinions on this subject.
