I have been playing but a few years now. In the initial lessons, it was mostly classic rock stuff that got my feet wet. I joined a student band that played such songs. I also started trying to jam on blues backers and such here. I
Since then, I have been part of an acoustic jam that was really more bluegrass and folk oriented. I have also learned to lay some jazz chords and songs, and some melodies that go along with those songs. So those songs and the bluegrass were completely different from the above. However, if I am jamming or improvising, especially over a blues or blues oriented track, and am not copying a melody, I still sound kinda the same. I have not learned and mastered enough to vary it much yet.
