I love this point, and it's something that I've always felt without summing it up in my own mind like that.

I know too many guys who will play a simple, talentless guitar riff, get an excited look on their face, and turn it into a mediocre song. I (and I am not trying to say I am some musical genius) can't do that. I will work on something much more complicated than that, and something that I'm sure in all reality sounds much better, and give up because I am never able to perfect it the way I want it.
