We all want to sound like someone else, but somewhere down the line we just have to realize that there is no equal to some of our all time favorites, but that doesn't necessarily decrease your creative energy. Because everything day we learn something new from someone else, and it helps give us just enough confidence to go with our own creative impulses and pull off what seems like the solos of our dreams. Before we can try and sound like our favorites, its important to remember how they got to where they are. You know, I don't think that we are ever quite satisfied as musicians but thats okay, because if you ask me that could be the great driving force for many, including myself.
