I guess, because of this, I never really understood why the majority of "guitar players" I've known play strictly other people's music. And all the cliche' songs, too.
When someone busts out a guitar and starts playing Enter Sandman, you can just walk away and not feel like you're going to miss out on anything special.
I guess there's some merit to learning guitar by using other people's tabs and all, but personally, I enjoyed picking up the guitar with no instruction and just doing everything by ear and by heart. Give it long enough, you develop your own style, songs and even if your technique isn't standard protocol, you still have something good and something you can call your own.

People play other peoples songs because to a lot of people music is about playing to an audience.
And a lot of the time, the audience wants what they know. Nothing wrong with that. Disregarding your audience is the building block of self-indulgent wank, and while that has an audience in and of itself, its not a wide audience.
