Not at all.
Music is your expression from within.
If you are a blues/psychedelic man, then please by all means keep at it.
We need more people like you. All this screamo/hardcore garbage is completely killing my faith in humanity.

Two things: First, you probably need different equipment, for a more authentic sound. Second, most people have a preconceived notion of what the Blues is supposed to sound like, but they really don't listen to the masters. You can't learn to play the Blues by listening to Eric Clapton, you need to listen to Muddy Waters. Then, you need to figure out what Muddy's playing (or any other Blues musician). When you figure it out, you'll see that there's a lot more to it than you originally thought. Then, you'll be able to come up with your own, unique style in the Blues genre. EDIT: Actually, BB King plays what's called Memphis synthesis, and Muddy started as a Delta bluesman, and helped form Chicago and electric blues. You have to know the blues intimately before you can feel it. It's been said, "Improvisation is 90% persperation and 10% inspiration." You can substitute and get the same meaning for playing the blues.

Dude's that play metal are usually posers and only took up the guitar because they think it makes them look cool. If you are playing blues, stick to it. Blues is actually musical, and requires musical talent to sound good. Any schmuck with a guitar can play metal.

NO - play what you like, and remain an individual - if you do the same thing as everybody else, you're just one more person doing the same thing as everybody else; if you remain true to yourself, you'll be the only one doing what you do.

play what you like, man.! Don't be so concerned about what everyone else is playing...unless you are playing just to be popular. Play for your soul and the music
