I believe that the guitar is the most versatile musical instrument, it can cover a lot of music styles/genres. I was wondering what kinds of music you guys play on your guitars?
I have an acoustic guitar so I usually play mellow, classical fingerstyle songs, but I also play pop, blues, rock songs and I have fairly good fretting-hand strength/speed when it comes to solos.

Tejano is actually Tex-mex music, a mixture of spanish music performed by latin Texas artists !

Hi musicman6! I see that you have a wide range of genres. I also want to learn to play jazz better (I play a tiny bit of jazz). This is also the first time I've heard of "Tejero". What kind of music is it?

Hi zamakh! Keep playing and practicing and you'll get better! If you want free guitar lessons with videos then I suggest you visit justinguitar.com
I learned quite a lot from this site and I recommend the site to every guitar enthusiast even if you're a beginner/intermediate/advanced player.
Thanks for responding here too!

mostly classic rock (especially Led Zeppelin!) songs from the 70,s...and I choose the songs based on the guitar I pick up...I try to take turns with all my guitars (don't want one to get jealous!) last night I played "Tangerine", Cats In The Cradle", "Love Me Two Times" and "Friends" on my Dean V-Coustic.

I try to play my own music that I have made up but it's hard to always come up with good riffs and what not. I like to play mainly experimental and metal type music but I'm open to basically every style so that way I can play better and have more technique. I'm more of a bass player though but guitar playing is really fun still for me.

Hi jambi462! It's good to know that you are making your own music. I know it's hard to make your own music. When I try to make my own stuff, I never get satisfied with my work! It's really hard especially if you don't have inspiration.
I'm recently trying out other styles too like jazz (i like the bass lines).
I also love playing the bass, but the guitar is my main instrument.
