Words can't can't always describe how someone feels, or what inspires them to create music, its just something thats inside of you since day one, and throughout the years, (with all of the music that we are exposed to, we learn from others and we learn how to transport the sounds we hear in our heads on our instrument of choice.) There are alot of things that make me a better guitar player everyday, one those things is my disatifaction, because this definitely drives me to be better at everything I do, to say that there isn't any room for improvement is to say that you're on your way out. I think what makes a great guitar, is someone who is willing to listen and learn from others, especally those from a different genre, and those whom they are not familiar with. There are just so many hidden elements in our favorite songs, its up to us to find what works for us, and to add it into our own uniquely (developed style.)

[i]One more thing, I don't know if its my conscience talkking or hat, but If ever accidently create a certain melody that sounds too familiar from someone else, (for the most part I start over.) Although others might not notice, I would, and thats something that has been with me for a very long time. With my own material, Ive alkways tried to remain as orginal as possible, taking the hidden elements from others, to make my own natural abilities grow.
