Good morning
I don't think it would work for me to spend my time studying material that was not of interest to me - say country as an example. But I am older and started late, so time is a precious resource.
If I were younger then maybe from a pure academic sense I would want to spend time in multiple genres. But I am old.
I think the right answer depends on how you want to spend your time and what your ambitions are. If you wanted to be more rounded, as my guitar teacher is, then time in jazz, blues classical... It's all good. But he started at 12 and is now my age. So again, the problem comes back to time and how to manage it.
Good luck with it.
actually william my biggest fear is that if i dive into stuff i like i'll eventually run out of resources or material which is not true i know. i am so impressed which this website that i want to try everythin but honestly i dont even know what country is, heard a little blues but the rythm parts bore me. i want to play lead but i have an acoustic so i figure why let it go to waste. my first goal is to nail the solo from dont cry by guns and roses and then start posting my improvisations on electric on youtube and get some buzz going. thanks a lot for your response. i'm looking forward to learning from you guys, who are a lot better than me and have invested more time and effort into this so that i can learn from your mistakes. please do share.
