Those 3 styles will give you a good base for learning any other style of music. It would be more feel than technical ability. That ragtime piece in beginneres lessons is a good example. Learning jazz chords can add a lot to your existing playing styles but, takes alot of study. Play what feels good to you no matter what style. Heavy metal is mostly power 5th chords and believe it or not classical to a large extent so there is overlapping between styles. The more you know the better but if it ain't fun,don't do it.For instance, I would be very unhappy if I had to play Don Messer's Jubilie country style, it makes me cringe and I would never use it. Just my opinion.
