I've been "meddling" with all types of guitars (and mando, and banjo, and ukelele, and bass, etc) for the past 29 years. I majored in classical guitar performance back in the 80s. I've practiced, played, recorded, gigged, and taught pretty much all styles over the years, from rock, to metal, to country, to blues, to bluegrass, to jazz, to classical, to flamenco. I drift from one genre to the next to keep things fresh and I never burn-out on guitar that way. It's ALL good and I'd recommend that anyone who finds himself starting to feel uninspired or burned-out on guitar, take a break from the particular genre that you've been playing and try something new. Some people were born to immerse themselves in one style and focus only on that one style. I think that's great. But it's not for me and I'd get bored and uninspired if I didn't have varied choices of music and instruments when I walk into the man-cave for daily practice/play.
