Jed explains it all and nicely, and he does know what he's talking about (seems to me you have some samples of your playing at a website somewhere, Jed, could you post the link to it?) I would add that many of us moved from the "Boxer" and "Don't Think Twice" which is really a very distinctively "Folkie" sound, to a Merle Travis kind of thing that works for a wider variety of styles and allows a lot of room for soloing and solo instrumentals--
