Hey,

For blues & metal, I'd recommend any electric with dual humbuckers, for example, an Epiphone/Gibson SG. For rock and everything else, any Fender Stratocaster or similar style guitar with triple coil pick-ups. Certain Ibanez guitars are very rock and metal effective. Flying Vs for shredding.

It's really down to personal preference and you'll find your own style will evolve and emerge the more you play. Then we'll start talking about amps and pedals (the fun part!)

Welcome to the fold, brother.
