The Noodler

“Oh, is that a guitar over there? Let me see if I can play a little something!” As a Noodler, you are always going to seek out a guitar anywhere you go. If you can’t find one, you probably have one in your trunk. You also spend half the time fiddling with the strings, tightening things up, playing for a few chords...and never completing a song. But you're having a good time doing it, and no one can ruin it! Besides, you have your head down staring at the chords the whole time anyway. You already have loads of guitars in your house but can't resist buying another..

The Experimentalist

As an "Experimentalist" you like playing your own version of a song. It sounds kind of like the song everyone knows, but you are definitely putting your own spin, stank and style all up on it. It usually involves elongated solos, a bunch of drumming on the guitar body, and definitely the comment, “Yeah, buddy!”. You play everything from chopsticks to electric fans all in a determined pursuit to discover new unheard-of new sounds from the instrument that may sound like noise at first but is, in fact, closer to abstract.

The Copycat

As the "Copycat" you make it your life’s mission to sound exactly like the original song. Unfortunately, since that is much easier said than done, it usually involves starting the song over...and over...and over. One missed chord, and the concert starts again. Although at first people love The Copycat, twenty minutes into trying to play “Layla” by Eric Clapton without success you can wear down even the biggest fans. Fortunately, you are undeterred - you seek perfection!

The Performer

As the "Performer" you turn any ditty or strum into a full fledged performance. Forget about the quality of the music, you are in SHOW mode! Your up, down, singing, gyrating, moving - it’s all for the people! Fortunately, the music does sound good, but the antics to go along with it are what make The Performer tick.
