Is it possible to master more than one guitar style?

I’ve observed this in a few students of mine and I think it can be explained in several ways....

Session work-tips and thoughts on working in the studio with other artists
Hey guys, Today I would like to take the time to talk a bit about working in the studio, which is an aspect of my music career that I enjoy greatly. Whether you are a session musician, hired to play for other people, or you work on your own material it's good to be aware of certain things in order to make the process more productive and enjoyable. 1) Know your material: That is a very important thing to keep in mind, specially if you are hired to play for someone else's project/album. I have been involved in situations where certain members of the project where under prepared and ,trust me, it is an element that can cause a lot of negativity in a studio environment. Remember that somebody is paying you a good fee to be there, so you wanna make sure you do that person's work justice with your performance, particularly if you wanna get another call for studio work. 2) Know your gear: 'Do you know that song by John Mayer?Yeah 'Gravity'…….Could you make the guitar sound like that?' 'I need the guitar to sound a bit more bluesy, like B.B King' 'Can I have a bit of that Andy Timmons rock tone?' Quotations like the ones above, are a frequent element in studio life, specially if you deal with people who know what sound they want from you. So, it is really important to know your gear and to be able to communicate with the artist/producer in order to deliver what they seek from you. 3) You are a part of a plethora of sounds.Know where you belong sonically: That kind of awareness comes with time and experience.It is absolutely essential to know that you are serving the song and NOT any short of personal egos with your instrument. Know that your part 'coexists' with other instrument's parts so it is important to NOT get in the way of the other instruments and limit yourself to the sonic space that is given to you. That, of course, depends on the genre of song e.x Guitar has a lot of space in a blues/rock trio whereas in a big band/soul piece guitar only has a small part within many sounds(horns,piano,bass,vocals,drums,percussion etc). 4) Go in with a smile on your face and enjoy the experience: 'Studio work', implies that for most of the time, you are going to be in a room full of people that you won't probably know. As a result, you wanna make sure you have a positive attitude that will enable the rest of the team to open up, relax and have a productive and pleasant session. Even when things go wrong, try to maintain a positive attitude and look past the problems that might occur in a session. Remember, shit happens and its all down to how you react when they do:-) 5) Be confident: That is a tough one and again ,it comes with time and experience and I think that alongside with it being a feeling, it is also an ability. The way to gain that ability, for better or for worse,is completely personal, so , its down to YOU to find that inner balance that will make you able to be confident and relaxed about what you do and who you are as a musician. Peace, George Marios...

From experience-parents pt.1
..Hello everybody. I thought it would be a good idea to write down a series of notes regarding the very beggining of the process that lead to learning an instrument.I am sure a lot of the other instructors would have had a comment or two on the subject,i apologize if you end up reading similar things but i havent bothered to read every single article on the site,i am a busy father of two after all.This first part of my notes mostly goes out to the parent who's looking for a teacher for their child.Everything i write about is based on my personal experience and i promise i 'll try and keep it short......

Aural: intervals of the major scale
Aural: Recognizing Major Scale Intervals In our first aural lesson, we will focus on recognizing intervals. I cannot stress enough how important it is to be able to not only play well, but also ‘hear well’. Our ears are our greatest asset as musicians and we should all spend a portion of our practice transcribing, listening and singing melodic lines, bass lines etc. There are a number of ways to learn songs, solos and melodies. We can write them down, we can learn them on our instruments, we can picture our fretboard, we can understand the theory behind it but being able to hear the music in your head and sing it in tune is an amazing skill to have. Many great musicians have that ability and it can only add to your musicality in a huge way. ...

Developing timing and the inner clock
Developing Timing and the Inner Clock Part of the job description for being a bass player is to provide the harmonic foundation for the chords, melody played or vocal line sung above the bass line and to provide the metronomic and rhythmic link between those and the drum kit – hopefully bridging the gap in a creative and interesting way. Being a major part of the rhythm section, part of the bass player’s job is also to lock in and compliment any drum pattern played and provide good time keeping....
Some are destined to perform. others to communicate...
When I was younger I dreamed of being in an international Rock band. Touring the world and playing huge arenas to thousands of screaming and adoring fans. I guess this is a pretty common dream for many a young rock musician, albeit a breif one as the onset of adulthood and responsibilities takes a firm grip of your Les Paul. ...

The Rhythmic Scale
