Back when I learned guitar, guitar players came in only two flavors -- Spanish and Hawaiian. One was a Spanish guitarist if one played the guitar with the face of the guitar vertical (strings forming roughly a vertical plane), and a Hawaiian guitarist if the guitar was oriented horizontally, typically in the lap of the guitarist, with each forearm also approximately parallel to the face of the guitar pointing forward from the guitarist. Nowadays genres are all mostly obscurely defined, fragmented, swirling around, and trying to become world music, which is wonderful, and almost everyone is trying to be one of a kind, so good luck figuring that all out and finding a happy place in it. Don't be like me; if you are not in the water you are not learning to swim -- just play!
