If we consider that the entire music world has only 12 half-tones, what can we expect
In this case it's, in fact, influence. As is normal. Many artists are not trying to escape from it, and that follows them through their career - as a good or a bad copy of his role models. The more you listening to various artist - you'll have more material for analysis and processing, on that way you building your style. You played identically solo as a someone there? It doesn't matter, but play it with a different feel, add some of your phrases, and it will pass. Influence still will be seen,but that will not be literally copy- paste.
We all have our own role models - but, how much you are wiling to enter YOUR personal emotion and expression trough it - that much you will have your own style..
One more thing: on a live gigs when we play covers, I never played the original solo section, from t to t. ever! I always like to play it on my own way, the way I like it, no matter what someone will say - hey, it's not like the original. Well, this is much better, I replied.
