a while back i wrote something about imitating your favourite artists to gain insight and learn from them. one thing i should add is that you should never be afraid of ‘losing yourself’. you will always sound like you, so it’s just cool to figure others out, add them to your toolbox and therefore create an own style out of all sorts of mixtures between the tools you already have.
i’ll give you an example. Tuck Andress (one half of Tuck & Patti), an amazing guitarplayer with a completely unique style and sound developed this very style by trying to imitate whole band arrangements on his guitar – not with freaky sound effects but just his way of playing.
enjoy and become motivated :-)
…and check out his/their other stuff as well. it’s really worth it…
