Are you slowly turning into your favourite player?

What's Hot
I woke up one day surrounded by humbuckered 5 string Tele's, bandanas and a raspy slur of no fixed origin...

Can you be so in tune with a guitarist that you eventually become them? I am of course talking about your playing style rather than a dress up tribute thing

I believe I may actually be possessed by the Rolling Stones.

    My favourite player did a song called "I'm slowly turning into you"...

    Seeing the prowess of the players I like, it's not going to happen any time soon, I'm afraid.

    I am, yes. 

    Unfortunately my favourite player seems to be Nick Jonas

    There've been a lot of favourite players over the years that I've tried to copy and not really managed it.  But at least I picked up something in the attempt, so there's an inferior version of many in my playing style 

    It's not a competition.

    I'm slowly turning into Dave Gilmour, honestly, I think that I'm already up to the first day that he picked up a guitar

    I hope not, Leslie West had to have his leg amputated.

    I'm turning into Allan Holdsworth at roughly the same rate that Everest is turning into a sandy plain.

    My exact thought, though I won't want the attached intermittent heroin addiction, and early death at the age of 32.
