Yeh thats what I thought until I saw one is piano and the other is guitar. I think mjr is more of a baroque person ie bach. Imo thats boring, but each to their own.

I find it hard to believe as well since he is so progressive. Progressive is like the opposite to classical in definition . But yeh i think he learnt on some classical before he discovered all the old prog bands like rush etc..

I didn't ask because I found it hard to believe, I asked because I've never heard him play classical guitar or heard OF him playing classical guitar. You couldn't be more wrong in assuming that playing classical guitar would negate playing progressive music or having progressive tendencies. Classical guitar encompasses a lot more than music from the classical era. It's just the term CLASSICAL guitar that throws people and gets conservatory snobs up in arms. there's stuff in the classical guitar repertoire (especially modern works) that's way more progressive than anything SX has ever done (i'm not saying that's for the better or worse, just putting it out there). But then, if we're speaking in terms of text-book definitions rather than how these terms are actually used, I wouldn't consider Romeo a progressive guitarist anyway.

I remember reading in his bio that he used to take classical guitar lessons when he was younger but ditched it after like a few years cause it was too much discipline.

Yeah thats what I thought.

Btw meedly I think you took my post the wrong way. It was meant to be more along the lines of if I was a mjr noob I wouldnt think of him playing classical guitar.
