@middlepath,

Its funny you name Alice In Chains as an example of basic chord progressions as I’m trying to tackle one of their songs and having a very tough time because the bass line is all over the place.

The grunge movement was born out of the “hair metal” and “stadium rock” music the players grew up on so the focus wasnt on complexity, it was more about the emotion behind it. That being said Soundgarden and Pearl Jam are two bands from the “Grunge Era” that had some pretty intricate songs. And Soundgarden did it all with one guitar player!

Nirvana was basically at their core a punk band that wrote some very very catchy songs with an amazing producer behind the board. I dont think they ever intended to get as huge as they did.

Regarding a softshell case, if your going to spend that much money on a case, I would just go with a hardshell at that point. A middle of the road hardshell case will do better than an expensive soft shell.

I just got the new musicians friend catalogue and am currently waiting to see how many shows we have booked coming up to decide if I want to pull the trigger on a new amplifier
