I was watching this Mark Knopfler on Guitars and something he said struck me.
BTW, if you haven't watched this video it's fantastic.

If you get to the end of a vocal and you've got nothing more to say but maybe the guitar has

“I used to have a drug problem...but now I can afford it.”

Jon Landau: "I have seen the future of Rock & Roll, and it is Bruce Springsteen."
Leonard Cohen from his speech at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame 2008: "I'm reminded of the prophetic statement of Jon Landau in the early seventies. He said: 'I've seen the future of Rock & Roll, and it is not Leonard Cohen'."

Yeah, I took that to heart, because when he said that, he was talking about using different guitars and how they influence feeling of a song.
I started trying out different guitars, from my norm of telecaster variations, and I think it has payed off in my song writing and the way that I play.
I love Mark Knopfler's touch and his song writing, and I absolutely steal from him, but he is more of a classy dude and I try to be more primal
as he ends that interview, he tries to emphasize that what he works on is the most basic things.
