i get inspired by a feel music gives off...then i jump in and try to figure out how they're making that sound that motivated me as a listener to go pick up my guitar and find out how they did it...Most recently it happened on Sting's "Driven to Tears"...I copped like three or four licks and a great bass line from that tune that is now part of my reperotoire to use anywhere it fits...I am not one of those cats who thinks I know it all, although I have been playing for a LOOOOONG TIME...I have known guys in their 70's still taking lessons from cats who they consider to have better chops than them...that's the love of the feeling it gives you to play something well that you didn't know how to do before you dug in and learned it...now if I could just remember some of what I've forgotten
