I think there are all types that come to guitar, and their enjoyment will come from different avenues. I will never write music or improvise. I have no desire to play in front of other people, or even to sing. I get a big rush out of making a familiar tune come out of this strange contraption, and that is all I need from it. I am also surprised to find I am interested in the "why" and the music theory.
My right hand and brain seem to be coming along nicely in my journey. My left hand feels like it belongs to another person, and refuses to cooperate, so I read up on left brain vs right brain.
The internet claims that it is a debunked myth, but the idea behind it really resonated with my experience with the guitar so far.
So, do what brings you joy based on who you are.
