Were you changed, when you picked up your guitar? I know it sure changed me...when I started out I really into Linkin Park, and nu metal, but a couple of months afterwards, I wanted to listen to Paul Gilbert, ( and later on Dream theater), Machinae Supremacy and later on some Zeppelin, Queen, AC DC, Mettalica, Instrumentals, and some videogame rock...in other words guitar oriented music....did this happen to you?

I've always been into many different genre's of music. It's just the way I was brought up.
You were inspired by guitar to listen to different music, I was inspired by different music to play guitar.

Sounds ver similar to me too. Liked Linkin Park when I started playing drums. Then when I started playing guitar I got into the older stuff, ie Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton etc.

Well I've always sort of listened to the smae type of music, and its all still very diversified, but now I listen to it in a whole new way - I pay attention to every note played because, as a guitarist, i can feel all the notes and picture them being played in my mind. I also now have something constructive to do with my time, aside from gaming (though that still is and always will be my first love)

I liked crappy music and was a bit of a wannabe when I picked up guitar. I ended up progressing on guitar very slowly. I began getting into metal soon enough, and that encouraged me to keep playing guitar and get much better. I love the guitaring, and thats just something I love about metal. Listening to great music inspires me to play and keep getting better and better.
Its just changed me in the fact that now I love metal even more and playing guitar, and it makes me want to perform.

It's the opposite for me. Music inspired me to play guitar. I heard Kirk Hammett and I said "wow, I wanne be like that."

TheArgus It made me realize how shitty most music is. ^ Agreed. It has pushed me more and more towards being an elitist snob when it comes to music. I also don't listen to lyrics nearly as much as I used to.

Very much agree with this and also agree with what TheArgus said.
You learn to appreciate songs so much more.

I don't know why, but I've been going "backward" into very synth-based type stuff lately, lol.
Still, I wouldn't have even discovered those types of music without picking up the guitar. The day I picked that up changed me in listening to music a lot more broadly, although it's still confined within rock. I've become at least somewhat familiar with most rock subgenres that everyone has some narrowed- down interest in, and could start up a simple conversation on that (which is something for me, because I'm literally social phobic).
However, the band that inspired me to pick up the guitar is still my favorite band of all time, and I still listen to lyrics the same way I used to, to some extent.
But it has definately changed my listening in guitar... you just start listening for all kinds of things - techniques, tones, effects pedals, and so on. That in turn, has made me listen to bass and drums and even vocals in the same way, despite being much less familiar with them.
In that aspect though, I used to think rock guitar was all about distortion, haha. But now I'm finding a tremendous interest in stuff like chorus effects (especially with my recent interest in synth-based rock), and anything bizarre to my ear.
