How much time have you spent just working on your right hand? I bet you have spent a lot of time watching your left hand. It takes two hands to play guitar. Split out some time in every practice session to just work on your right hand.

It may be too soon for you to understand this but the real creativity of playing guitar comes from the right hand. How the pick or fingers hits the string(s), the angle the pick hits the strings how many you choose to play on any given strum D or U. How many you accent. Even more important sometimes, which ones you play softer.

Almost everyone plays an open D the same way. How does everyone make it sound different. It is what the right hand is doing. Everybody’s left hand just holds down 3 strings.
