Do you have your own individual style when playing....air guitar?

I was reading the BBC article "How Do You Judge An Air Guitar Competition?" when the question popped into my head.

I'll admit it....I generally just try to hit the right notes and that's about it. No acrobatics, no spins or splits, etc. OK, maybe putting on a headband when playing Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" :D

So, what about you?

    I'd like to think so... of course, I have to play left handed. I use an upside-down air guitar, a la Mr. Hendrix, rather than a purpose-made left-handed model. It's harder that way.

    Actually, my preferred axe is the left-handed air bass.

    I hit the notes with the funny face and all with my buddy by my side doing the same thing then we look at each other and laugh and drink more beer and laugh about it later. Ive got some funny videos of me taken secretly but i dare not post them here.

    When I'm playing air guitar...I try to simulate as closely as I can, what I'd be playing if I were playing my real guitar.

    The rest of the time...I just play my real guitar.;)

    I'm a mix between Tony Iommi's stoicism and Angus Young's energized antics...depends on the mood...but mostly very technical. :p

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    I at least move my hands in the correct direction for the tone of the chord.... most of the time.

    Don't play real guitar, so that's as good as it gets...

    Air drums, on the other hand... well... it's an approximation also.
    Ludicrous gibs!
