I enjoy many genres of music including rock, country and blues but I ultimately would like to focus on blues the most as this is my favorite guitar music.

Good deal. Keep in mind that the end goal is to play music in the form of songs. So, think about what songs you like & would like to play or play along with. What kind of guitar is used or featured? There are plenty of acoustic blues songs. But there's also quite a bit of electric used especially in lead melodies, riff, licks.

Hope that helps! Have fun!
