I'm a bass player, so I can sort of relate to what you're saying. What I've learned is that imitation of the masters or even simply those better than I am is what makes me a better musician. Something else I've learned is that you're your own worst critic. I hate soloing, even though jazz requires that all of the time. But then I talk to others who listened and think it was great. So I doubt you have anything to doubt about yourself. Having that concern about yourself is what'll drive you to being a better musician.
