Thread Name: Defining your guitar style?
Subject: RE: Defining your guitar style?
There really is no reason to "define" your style. If you label yourself as something, it will catch on with other people and they will expect you to stick to that label. Eventually, you will realise that by labeling your style, you haven't allowed yourself as much room for growth.

Maybe you want to play blues now, but later on you may switch to acid jazz or classical or metal or sommething. I say, leave your options open.

I'm a big fan of traditional music for clarinet or tin whistle, but the first song I ever learned on guitar. . .was "Greensleeves". . .but the second one was "Come As You Are" by Nirvana.

Just don't get stuck in any kind of musical rut.
