I have a hard time relating musically to lots of folks, including other pickers because I still play relatively loud with my band (and buddies when just jamming). Sometimes it occurs to me that my amp tone discussions with some people is like talking 'apples and oranges,' because they don't play at anywhere near the volume I do. To me playing electric guitar is an experience that has to be felt, if you understand what I'm saying.
So, my question is am I a dinosaur? How many other folks (gigging and non-gigging) around here still play loud most of the time? By loud I don't mean super loud, just maybe 30-50 guitar tube watts loud.
