Chameleonic. Modest.

oh can I nick that? I think if you saw me playing with my old band you'd have thought I was a bit of a show off. If you saw me playing with a folk/country act you'd think I was under-stated and wonder why I'd brought a 6 string (don't have any 4s or 5s). If you saw me with my new metal band you'd think I was mental and perhaps even obnoxious etc. etc. You can't have the same style for every genre/group you play in

I'm more of an "all the gear - no idea" type guy...

Meat and two veg. Drop of gravy if I'm playing on a Sunday.

[rushbo]

Norman Watt-Roy with a touch of arthritis.

[lowhand_mike]

adequate, i play as close to the original lines as possible with the occasional ham fisted fill

[doctorbass]

Greasier than Ron Jeremy

[randythoades]

Failed Guitarist here too. Pick playing, far too many notes, far too fast and far too loud.
The way I figure, if you are constantly playing away from the root notes and adding melodic tension, then you can claim that whatever you just played wrongly as deliberate...

Fast. Rattly. Distorted. Over loud.

[Happy Jack]

Not sure 'style' is an appropriate way to describe my playing.

[Dan Dare]

Approximate

[ahpook]

Jittery and prone to nose-down at transonic speed.

Aggressive, hamsfisted, hyperactive bludgeoning.

The object being to fit as many notes into as little time as possible in order that the wrong ones pass more quickly. This doesn't always work, but as they're my own basslines I will always insist it's intentional, and if it sounds wrong - you [i]just don't get it[/i]. Man.

[Cat Burrito]

According to a couple of punters on more than one occasion - "Paul Simonon in a country band".

According to me - "Alright... for the shape I'm in!"

[LZD56]

Fundamentally flawed. Nice noodling 😞

[Conan]

I have no style.

[blue]

Marginal

[ricksterphil]

I aim for somewhere between dog rough and just about acceptable

[Iain]

Loose and sloppy.

[tony_m]

More enthusiasm than ability...

I hate using text-message-speak, but I'm sitting on public transport and that did, quite literally, make me laugh out loud.

That made me smile.

I'd say that my playing is quite simple and solid. Not the most inspiring, but with good time and groove. I try to make it sound as if the 'main notes' are being played by the bass-drum.
