Your guitar style is much different than mine, if your sound files give a general 'idea' of what's happenin'. I pretty much make a religious effort to sound good, without pulling any standard 'flashyness'. The ultimate goal, to me, is to get through an entire show without pulling any flash, you know, relying completely on pure music. Usually during our 2nd sets, I'll fire some licks (blues), similar to the ones you've posted, and usually the audience goes nuts, although we had a show where the audience got hammered by the beginning of the 2nd set. You see, I'm the kind of person that says "Well, that was nice, but I want to hear a melody, so naturally, I am a melodic guitar player. It doesn't feel right, unless it perks my ears up and says "I like that!".
"You're 15, where the hell do you play???" - We play at three venues, basically, two of them are independantly owned, one is a business. Two of them are what you would call 'large farmhouses', and generally we get 100-150 kids (Jam Band Music is huge in Wisconsin) out there per show, and at "Paddy's", which is the name of the "pizza bar", gets about 75 (the place is really small).
We play for free + no admission for the farmhouses (We have kegs ready, and almost everyone buys a few cups a' brew from our 'salesmen'. Generally, this generates $600 to $700; we take home about $500, and give the rest to the barn owner/salesmen/etc. Works out nicely.
