A thought just crossed my mind, and now I'm genuinely curious: what are people comfortable with playing? By this, I mean what 'genre' do people normally play as a standard sort of thing, but also what else can they play?
I thought about it some more, and came up with three areas of playing: stuff you have to play (ie. your gigs), stuff you like to play for fun (ie. practice) and stuff you are also comfortable with playing (ie. jams with others).
I'll start:
As a 'church musician', I play alt and soft rock, gospel, pop-like stuff and occasionally random things.
When I'm practicing or playing seriously, I play funk, pop, classic rock, fusion stuff and swing.
When I'm jamming, I'm also pretty comfortable with R&B, blues, acoustic (brushes and snare, anyone?) and some simple jazz stuff.
So, what does everyone else do? I'm looking forward to the guys who play jazz who also jam or practice metal, and so on...
