I almost always listen to music too. Although unlike you BSgutshot, I don't think it really has an impact on the way I play.
I simply listen to music, because I don't like it to be eerily quiet when I play.
But now that you mention that it affects the way you play, I am going to try to pay a little more attention to how I play when a certain style of music is playing - see if it does in fact affect how i play |
