Keyboards a lot more important in prog than almost any other genre.

So I'd guess a lot of keyboard players are drawn to prog.
its they main reason I listen to it.

LOL
But Jaco was very much at one with his bass, so perhaps he sorta was an instrument. Or maybe it was a case that the bass was JacoConfused

^Love the guitar, but after playing 14 notes per second on the electric and trying to setlle down and try some finger style on an acoustic I have always felt really limited, but of course I'll leave that to the dedicated acoustic-heads to churn out something really amazing.

A big ass Hammond B-3 on the attack.
Quatermass, ELP, and Nick Crane along with David Greenslade my favourites.
 But all bow to HRH Rick Wakeman.

Keyboards. Yesterday, I had one of the pleasures, in terms of music in my whole life. I played in a big pipe organ in a church, so today, I can't have any doubt, it's keyboards.

Keyboards! "L'Instrument Maitre " as we say in French.
Honestly when you just think about the musical possibilities, The only instruments that can produce harmony and melody are The Guitar and Keyboards.
And on a Keyboard you've 2 hands on guitare you're limited with one, a guitar has only 4 to 5 scales a keyboard has on average 7.
And a guitar doesn't have all the subtleties of the keyboard crescendo poco poco, tempo primo, Con anima ,Forte and all the other italian words.
Lost in the south of france:
" Le rock progressif ? C'est quoi cette connerie? "

It's the violin but it's not on the list and since i've been listening to a lot of flutes this week i voted for flutes. I'm afraid some other day i'll read this and regret i didn't vote for guitar.

Guitar, the "feeble instrument" that Fripp, McLaughlin, Holdsworth, Howe, Gilmour, Zappa, and Stolt play.
