What is the difference between single coil and humbucker pickups? Are there any other kinds? What styles of music are each type of pickup best suited for?

Better that you hear the difference at Seymour Duncan's web site

Humbucker pick-ups were created to eliminate the buzzing noise of single coil pick-ups.

Both are good. It is a matter of preference.

Go to a store and ask them to let you play both.

They will bore you with 60-cycle hum theories.

They will intice you by extolling the virtues a cheap solid state amp.

Listen to samples online.

Learn to play that thing.
