Pop heart-throb JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is learning to play the guitar in a bid to create a rocky new sound on his upcoming album.

The SENORITA singer has locked himself away with his instrument to help him ditch his R+B roots and get raw.

He tells MTV, "It's going to be interesting to see what comes out of this record because everything I wrote on the last record (JUSTIFIED), I wanted it concentrated to one thing: a pop R+B sound.

"This one, it's more fly by the seat of your pants. It's less concentrated to one sound.

"It's more broad as far as the styles I wanted to mix in to my own type of thing."

I liked his last album- I think is he changes too much he is going away from his fan base!!

Oh great, now we'll probably have to hear him play it. He wrote stuff, yeah right.

Am I just insane or was I thinking he said, not long after his last album was realeased, that a lot of the songs were writting by N.E.R.D with the intention of going to michael jackson?

People who are not rockers by nature should not try to make rock albums.
