I'm a hobbyist guitar player who focuses on blues. I tend to be a bit attention deficit disorder when it comes to learning though jumping around from Albert King, BB King, Clapton, Hendrix, Stones, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, Mike Bloomfield, Hubert Sumlin, SRV, slide playing...

This has without a doubt helped me learn blues. But I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't just focus on one artist like Albert or BB or Muddy and just become the guy who just nails that style of playing, rather than the guy who knows bits and pieces of different players' songs and styles - jack of all trades master of none. Any of these guys, especially guys like Hendrix, SRV, and Clapton, require an enormous amount of dedication and practice to play well. On the other hand learning a variety of styles certainly helps me evolve my own style.

Thoughts?
