For a minute forget styles, forget what you know, forget convention

First lesson, forget what has been done.
It's ok, let it go. Forget convention. Forget being influenced and just create. Do this more. Do it with other players. Everyone comes with their ideas on what they THINK they should play or what they think you will like. As a group forget that and just play. Try not to judge yourself just let the music or sound or vibe come through. Forget the notes. The idea is to create. To just be. It's a totally different vibe and this is where you create from. As a band, as yourself. It works. It takes time. Don't worry about writing a hit song, don't think or worry about what the supposed "they" want. It's what you want it's your music. You are free. We are all free to create. This is the place to start.

Thanks for reading, here's to freedom of individual expression. You can do it. More to come..JC
