Believe it or not, attitude is a huge factor though....almost as important as being an awesome guitarist. So the fact that you 'click' with people on a musical level is a huge deal. There are absolutely amazing musicians who are a pain in the ass to work with because they bring attitude/arrogance into the studio and then there are decent musicians (who may not be able to play 6-string sweeping arpeggios at 200 mph), but are great to work with and easy to get along with. Personally, I'd rather play with an average musician who is ambitious and easy to get along with rather than an amazing arrogant musician who believes he's God's gift to the world, shows up late to rehearsals, thinks he's better than everyone else, etc.


Furthermore, as far as guitarists all being the same....maybe there's some truth to that. Nevertheless, each of us still has something we're better at than other people. Some guitarists are awesome at vibrato, but suck at arps. Some are great with shredding, but can't play blues at all. Some are great country players, but have no clue about classical. Find your strengths & continue to build them.
