Does listening to music improve your musical abilities, with the same instrument?
I’ve heard on some web sites and from my family that, since I am learning guitar right now, it helps to listen to some of the great guitarists in history. But does this really help? Also if it does help, then how?
After learning about the guitar a bit, then hearing some stuff you play played in a more complex manner, you may begin to see the underlying patterns that certain styles are built around.
Four chord patterns like G C D G, or A D E A.
The E B A rock n roll style.
Etc.

I don’t know how it works with guitar, but I’m a saxophone player and I know sometimes we listen to high-end saxophonists to try and hear what an ideal tone quality sounds like so we can match it. It also helps with finding certain pitches.

It would most likely influence what type of music you write, that is, if you ever write music. It would also help if you listened to what songs you wanted to play, so you know how they sound when played right. Even if it doesnt sound right, it could just be their using some form of distortion.
