I'd say it depends on the mood. I fell in love with rock and roll and metal music close to 12 years ago and decided on learning guitar. I still very much prefer playing the same genre (maiden, black sabbath, guns n roses, and the list goes on). This would definitely be my favorite guitar genre/style. More on the technical side as adrian smith plays. BUT! iv been trying to get into more genres that are just as interesting. I LOVE ERIC CLAPTON's tone and style. How did you guys branch out into different genres and what was the one you started from? any tips are appreciated!
