I'd say that you are not far off with your thought. Having played several different styles of music I have learned that they have allot of similarities. But they all seem to have what I call their own guitar vocabulary. Those are chords or styles of chords, signature figures and licks that telegraph the style of music. That and the beat make the differences. Otherwise, it's all guitar and music. And don't forget to wear the correct hat and shirt.
