i wonder what you can tell about a person by how they handle an acoustic guitar. Kerry, he's got the classical guitar, great chord form and probably has had formal classical guitar lessons, at some point, and for more than a semester.

Dean, he's a rocker. He's got the auditorium type acoustic, and probably taught himself how to play when he was a teenager, while listening to the Beatles and Zep. He's playing an open ("cowboy") chord and has his thumb hanging over the fretboard- terrible form but still acceptable among the self-taught and blues afficiandos. He's probably had a lesson or two, but on electric, but he probably likes picking up an acoustic once in a while and *rocking out*.

I bet Kerry can sight read a relatively complicated piece in standard notation, and Dean probably thumbs through magazines like "Guitar Player" or "Acoustic Guitar", checking out the tabs for stuff like Cream's "Politician".

Of course, i'm probably completely wrong, but it's always fun to infer complex things from something like how a dude handles an acoustic. heh.
