sorry; that's just ridiculous.

follows my unwanted suggestions to some folks on this list (who are, most 
likely, guitar players):
get outta the house;
go hear some music that ye haven't heard yet.
buy some new cd's/vinyls, ones that ye normally wouldn't, & listen to 'em.
spend just one occasional day thinking about yer instrument as an unknown 
object, but play with it, anyway.
open it up, thas'all:
just open it up: forget all the pedagogic tripe, including this bullshit 
that 
i'm spewing.

dude / dudesse:
this is really ignorant;
please take a sharp look at yer use of the word 'generic', in regards to 
your 
own 'music creation'.
what's the big difference, when 'emulation' is the basis for 'creation'?

and, after all..... after looking at the references in yer previous 
post..... 
well, warren haynes ain't no charlie parker, neither.

'sliding yer fingers up & down the strings trying to repeat the previous 
'musical creations' of jimmy page (or whomever) does not make you a guitar 
player, erm, musician'.

best,
