Um, Scott,

Most session muso's do write their own material. They also play cover songs, do gigs in other peoples bands, play wherever they can, and take the gig where they can. Along with being top performers in their own right, they can also carry a show by themselves.

Case in point, Tommy Emmanuel, one of the best guitarists you'll ever see. How does an instrumental guitarist pack out the gig and also play other people's work as well as his own ? Because he is a professional muscian ,respected by both the industry and the public. Does he take requests ? Yep, any two songs, and he joins and interweaves them togther to make one number. He's got the ear of the best guitarists in the world, and it is not beneath him to play other peoples music.

He's just damn good at what he does. He's a real musician.
