I think everyone started playing guitar to be able to play your favourite songs and not to be able to make your guitar cry, you don't even think of that when you start playing. After a while you get bored playing other people stuff and you start making your own, sometimes you steel a couple of licks that you learned in the past from yor favourite guitarist you mix them and you come up with a whole new complete solo or lick, that´s why it's also important to learn other people stuff. You wont sound exactly like other band or gutiarist because everyone has more than 2 influences.
