who's your influence in playing the guitar??

I like David Gilmour. He is the greatest ever. So is Jimmy Page and Alex Lifeson. Brian May is pretty cool too.

i like alot of the folk music of mexico and brazil so that its a big influence on me, i also like george harrison, hendrix, the guys from kings of convenience, django reinhardt, jack johnson, the guy from black keys, noel gallagher, robert johnson and syd barrett

gary moore. the black keys. and SLASH

is I the only one that likes Ritchie Blackmore?? hahahahahaXD .. michael schenker, chris holmes (of W.A.S.P.) steve vai .. and countless more..

Hmmm, Frusicante, Hendrix, Steve Vai, countless others. Yeah, I found that list a while back, it's complete sh*t. I found one a good deal better at www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/music0.html It has a load of lists about all kinds of genres. Frusciante is only 87 out of 200 or 300, but with the kind of players in front of him, its a lot more accurate.

tim reynolds!!

Yeah I came across that page a few years ago. The guitarist's page is fine, but when you look at the 100 greatest rock artists of the 2000s, and see that 4 of the top 6 are actually hip hop/RnB artists... And it doesn't stop there - Jay Z is 12th, Usher is 14th, Missy Elliot is 19th, Beyonce is 21st, and Destiny's Child is 30th! And the 90s aren't much better!

Anyone draw influences from other forms of art? literature, visual art? I also am not seeing a whole lot of classical composers mentioned in here.

Ahhh... I like to play to cartoons sometimes. Well... most of the time I don't actually watch the cartoon.. just play cartoony music.

That just sounds silly actually...

That doesn't sound silly, lately I have been playing mostly to Super Mario World and Donkey Kong. Fun stuff.

The guitarist from Gang of Four is a big influence. His messy style is amazing.

HENDRIX,CLAPTON,BECK,PAGE,JOHNNY WINTER,RORY GALLAGHER,TOWNSHEND,DUANE ALLMAN, DAVE GILMOURE,WILLIAM COOK

Alvin Lee

and i'd like to hear doz play cartoons!

hey guys, i cant play like any of them YET. But when the time comes and the skill is perfected, I hope so much to be able to play like Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, and about any Blues guitarist out there.

Lol, Notim, I don't play cartoon themes, just music that I think fits cartoons.

Dimebag, Slash, Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Frank Zappa for his solos, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Eric Clapton, there is so many great guitarists out there, don't you agree ?

oh and the uli guy from scorpions i ferget his name : /

Yeah, there are a lot of great guitarists people could be unfluenced by. That's how I see it - rather than producing a specific list.

+you can edit your last post instead of posting again.

Yeah, those are only some of my favorites.

I found that out after I posted in another forum. lol
