I play alot of nice finger picking smooth songs on my acoustic and with my newly acquired electric im red hot into my blues. The sound of a naughty stevie ray vaughan lick is just hard to beat in my eyes, or ears?? Anyone else?

I also love Hendrix and some of the guys that do his style stuff as well (robin trower, frank marino.) i don't play any death metal or the radically detuned stuff. a little metallica, megadeth or metal church on occasion is fun as well.
	and now for something completely different

I love how challenging metal is to play.... but it's also nice to have something with some rhythm to move around to!

As for melodies/soloing, I prefer slower melodies with lots of hammer-ons and pull-offs and legato phrasing. I can't sweep at all, but I wouldn't use it much anyway. Shredding is nice, but I don't like doing it for too long. I would also love to master tapping/two-handed tapping. I think I have a different style to many other metal guitarists because I'm mainly inspired by completely different music than mainstream music and/or band music.
