Great Paul Gilbert Video About Songwriting

Fantastic video here about using famous rhythms to write music. I've been in a bit of a rut musically as of late so I'm definitely going to try this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As0qoBUvJnE

Cool vid. I've actually been doing this since I started playing, like from two months in. Lifting phrases from lyrical melodies and drum fills, transposing other peoples riffs and licks and mixing up the notes. Always felt a little guilty about it, like I was cheating and worried someone was going to call me on it lol.

If anyone ever does now I'll just go all "hey, Paul Gilbert does it too!" on them.
