From the very beginning, I tried my best to develop my own prsonal style, and although I have succeeded, I'm never quite satisfied. I think that its safe to say that every serious musician is always trying to find new and creative ways to spice up their style...If you feel you arent getting anywhere with your own personal experimentations, by all means take some creative insight from others. Guitar lessons are never really a bad idea, its just important not to get too comfortable with someone elses style or way of composing melodies, (to the point where you're afraid to take chances on your own.)
