My curiosity tends to escape me every now and then.

With this whole thing, I just feel that its very beneficial to try and learn what someone else does on guitar in your own way. By this I mean you should attempt to figure out a couple of songs without any help. It will help you develop your own way of playing certain runs and licks, and will also help you not only get in touch with your inner emotions, but the hidden elements in our favorite songs. Because I feel that we often recieve the best results unselfconsciously. If you make the mistake of just wanting to learn how your favorite players do everything, it'll hurt you as a player in the future, (because its a great feeling to be able to rely on yourself.) I feel that its important to develop your own musical personality, and alot of that will come from your own personal perception.

So what do you guys think?
