   I thought I'd have a heart to heart talk with all you musicians on this
forum. I'm a developing musician. I just wanna make music and be
noticed; I have no need to be famous. Just get that confusion out of
the way. 

But anways, I was wondering how you musician's whom write and compose
their own songs get your inspiration from and how you're able to
maintain your originality. Often times when you play an instrument you
get so used to playing a certain "way" or playing certain licks even
when soloing that your playing becomes in itself, a cliche. You can
even notice this when you can distinguish the sound of different bands.
Though for myself, I prefer to stay to original and try coming up with
something entirely different most of the time. I was wondering how you
musicians would achieve that.

Albeit, this is a really loose topic, and I'm not sure if you guys know what I'm talking about.
