Finding My Identity as a Guitarist

Post by Samson »

Hey everyone, I've been playing guitar for a few years now and I’m starting to wonder how to define my identity as a guitarist. I’ve dabbled in a bit of everything—blues, rock, and even some metal—but I feel like I’m at a crossroads. Some days I want to just shred like a madman, and other days, I find myself drawn to the emotional storytelling of acoustic songs.

How did you guys figure out what kind of guitarist you wanted to be? Did it come naturally over time, or did you have to make a conscious choice? I’m also curious about how your identity has evolved as you’ve progressed. Any stories or advice would be great!
