Why Musicians Go For Blues Guitar Instead Of Flamenco Guitar

Every form of music always has its roots and when you look at a lot of the famous guitar players of today like John Mayer or Derek Trucks you are reminded that for many rock guitarists their roots come directly from blues guitar.
The history of blues guitar is one of a form of guitar playing that was developed and allowed to evolve in the poor parts of the Southern United States and by the 1930’s and 1940’s blues guitar was everywhere in the United States and by the 1950’s it had made its way to Europe to help inspire the British Invasion that brought us the Beatles who were a very blues guitar based band.
But why do some people pick up blues guitar over other kinds of guitar playing like classical guitar or flamenco guitar? When you look at the history of blues guitar and the people playing it I would say that blues music is just the purest form of music and can be played right from the heart, more than from a piece of paper.
If you are unable to convey any emotion when you play the guitar then you certainly will not be very successful at blues guitar. Many players choose blues guitar because it allows a player to just let go and unleash their emotions. You don’t even need to know how to tune the guitar or play it right in order to be successful at blues guitar!
