-- Posted by rapsody at 7:00 am on Aug. 12, 2008 I'm taking a guitar class at Wayne State University and they have two classes. Classical Guitar and Jazz Guitar. I want to play in a metalcore band. I want to know which class is easier or recommended for me to take. P.S. I want to be a lead guitarist. -- Posted by blufindr at 7:01 am on Aug. 12, 2008 Jazz. Classical is more pretty-picking. Not so great if you want to be a lead guitarist in a metalcore band. -- Posted by freak15 at 7:03 am on Aug. 12, 2008 Jazz i spose x -- Posted by theAnomie at 7:03 am on Aug. 12, 2008 Classical guitar is all about being seated formally and using finger picking. Go for jazz. -- Posted by sniperk at 7:03 am on Aug. 12, 2008 take them both XD i jus tried hiring a private tutor -- Posted by princessxx at 7:05 am on Aug. 12, 2008 jazz -- Posted by Kokasion at 7:19 am on Aug. 12, 2008 Classical, I don't know much about Jazz, except about Jazz Scales. I think you'd learn more from Classical.
