Great guitarist get great after analyzing Muddy Waters, Pat Metheny, Santana, or whoever, note by note. BUT-the cymbals are spread around him, the kick is in the middle with the snare a little to the side, toms are spread from left to right but not on top of the snare , hi hat is off to the side. The bass player is closest to the drummer but usually not standing in front but rather with the drummer so that they can watch each other. A sound can have only so many waveforms at a limited maximum volume, etc. General MIDI sounds are getting better but are still more of a computer standard.
Music is based own sound, like colors.
If every artist uses the same colors , all paintings will start to look the same. Learn to create sounds , like colors. Like Lyle May's trademark scoop synth patch, or Jan Hammer's guitar sounds etc. And most likely as you stumble along creating your song you'll trip on a whole new chord accidentaly that is pure magic. Anybody can play a drum loop, add a pattern bass, etc.
