I was thinking about this yesterday in that so much of the guitar music I love is not really based in blues but I still go back to the bluesrawk thing as a default. Weird.
Yep, very much this. My guitar playing is a bit of a three headed monster, the Marshall on 11 rock'n'roll shredder, the sensitive power pop arpeggio guy and the noisy art rocker. It's a bit of a split personality. 😵💫

Very much feel this. Started playing listening to It's Alive at 13, then learned solos from AC/DC, blues and GnR, then finally discovered Yo La Tengo, Mogwai and MBV.
Even the stuff I haven't listened to in years is still there somewhere and I actually quite like that!

Depends on the guitar i think... and what tuning I left it in. I definititley have my ingrained tics though. Acoustic almost always some litte open g bluegrassy widdle. Or this faux-Nick Drake riff idea for a song that i've been meaning to finish for the last ten years. Oh lawd.
Electric, usually some bluesy Hendrix or Billy Gibbons pentanoodle in E or G. It was the intro Red House a lot last year for some reason. That or Back of Car by Big Star.

If there's a Bigsby within reach it will always end being the Better Call Saul theme (LB again). I saw a video last year claiming that this riff is the new guitar shop Smoke on the Water so I must remember not to offend. Haha!
