One of the things I get is "I don't really like instrumental music but I really like your stuff". I understand.
Neither do I.
Most "rock instrumentals" are a bit noodly - solos, god why the solos. Over and over. That say nothing.
I love solos when its Bill Steer and Michael Amott in Carcass or Randy Rhodes or John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Or Bill Evans.
Sadly a lot of rock solos is the process of playing fancy lick X over generic modal vamp Y. With some added noodles. I don't get it.
I'm interested in chords and composition like Radiohead, King Crimson, The Dead Kennedys, The Beatles, Husker Du, Jellyfish,Debussy and Voivod. Chords and melodies. That feeling you get when a piece of music takes you somewhere. Emotions.
The good stuff :)

A few people have said that about my music. They have all been older women. I don't know what instrumental music they have heard or what they expect but I don't think it was the shreddy guitar music that you describe.
That genre can also be done right though but perhaps more often than not it isn't.
