The exhibit the same fast playing and ideas that others have already played. They often get famous for being a clone. Did you notice how much worse Wynton started sounding when he stopped imitating? However, I admire his honesty . A clone who is usually very politically minded.

Your musical development is a personal and very individual thing, but I see, just in my own family that we often lack the confidence to get out there and promote our own style, ...perhaps we don't feel we measure up. So yes, we have to nurture trust and confidence in ourselves and our kids. Good food for thought - thanks for the post :-) Tony, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head.

The only thing that will set a guitar player apart from the million others is his own talent. If you are not confident enough about your own skills, how would you expect other to respect your music no matter what genre you are in? I have to agree.
