Well, I've not been a big fan of rock as a matter of fact, I didn't use to like it at all (even the sound of the rock guitar) but I love the sound of a guitar when I play it and when I hear it esp. if the person playing the guitar is good at it.
Over here, rock is not one of the sounds we hear while growing. It was mostly juju, fuji, apala and afro. I'm Pearlumie from Nigeria and those are the types of sounds I got accustomed to while growing up.
