Heavy Alternative
This playlist consists of artists who revel in volume, distortion, and aggression but keep a focus on moderate tempos and have roots in genres more closely related to alternative or progressive rock than metal–such as the grunge exemplified by Nirvana and Soundgarden, the progressive stylings of Tool, or the hardcore punk stylings of At the Drive-In or Rage Against the Machine. This is the kind of music that keeps the volume knob at 11!
Cool Jams
Want to hear some solos? Here you go. Extended jams from artists such as Jimi Hendrix, My Morning Jacket, and Gary Clark Jr. where the musicians really cut loose and flex their skills.
Blues Rock
The blues has been one of the pillars of rock music as long as rock music has been around. From Cream to Stevie Ray Vaughn to John Mayer, this playlist is filled with chugging riffs and flaming licks.
The Real Blues
Traditional American blues, straight from the Mississippi Delta. The influence of this style on guitarists across the world–and consequently much of the modern musical landscape–cannot be understated, but it’s the rawness of emotion and eccentricity of artists like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters that keeps it appreciated.
