I took this photo of myself with my guitar. I am in a band at my church, but I play the bass guitar there. I picked up the guitar on my own and I love it. For the picture I just stood in front of a wall and used the flash. I put some paper over the flash to soften the light. I also used a fan to blow my hair. I am a house wife... so this is the closest thing I could come up with for occupation!

Just so you know, i know of no musician who will wear a fender strap with a fender T (save maybe eric clapton, and they pay him).
Also I would point out the idea of raising the camera up and shooting down (@ about the same degree you shot up) on this pose. This would take away the up the nose view we all have, it would bring your face more to the top 3rds convergence point (using the rule is good most always), lastly it would take away the feel as though you have just been given the last blow in a Rocky movie.
The hair is cool it works really well but its cut off, i think i've supported my point well enough but swinging the camera up to more of a top down would help this fact as well.
very last i will mention that this is DPC so its all just a bunch of punk photo junkies, and semi pros (myself included) none of this needs to be done or taken to heart. Try a reshoot never the less just to see the difference, and for goodness sakes loose the fender shirt or get paid to wear it.
