Which style of music should I learn

my 2 cents.

I strongly disagree, the way Hendrix voice and guitar became one, Hendrix's badass chord inversions, his creativity, his phrasing, his song writing, etc. SRV just doesn't come close

don't get me wrong, I love SRV, and he was an amazing player, but he wasn't Hendrix, and I think he would even agree to that if you asked him

My suggestion is to learn the fundamentals of the BLUES. All American music is pretty much derived from the Blues. Maybe not bluegrass but everything else is. Rock, Jazz, pop etc. But like other posts have said learn and play what you like. I started with the BLUES and have gone thru stages from metal to Glass like noise to ethnic stuff and Iv'e found that my BLUEs background has stood me in good stead.

I have all the pentatonic "boxes" shown on a 22-fret guitar neck, for all keys, in an Excel spreadsheets. It is an excellent tool when pracaticing.
