#1 Influence

[gtrwun]

Iommi and Frehley? So you guys are influenced by guys that play a bunch of bar chords?

When someone asks who your #1 influence is, you kinda have to go with the guy that influenced you to pick the instrument up and play it.....right? Just my opinion, but if someone asked me who influenced my playing style the most, i'd have answered totally differently. Maybe I misinterpreted the question?

All that said, I love Ace's lead playing on the early Kiss records.

+1 on this. Ace made me want to play. Buy Lynch is my guitar god.
I just never heard of him back in 1978.

For me it's definitely Hetfield. Specifically Ride the Lightning/Master of Puppets era Hetfield.

Exactly why I picked Ace. I started playing guitar in 6th grade because of Ace and the show he put on. Lightning, the burning pickups thing....he was the shit.

That first EVH album lit the fire that made me want to play!

Angus

I wish my #1 influence was Eric Johnson. Truly it is EVH.

Some of you guys are really showing your age here!

I've been on the internet for 18 years now, and that is the first time I've ever seen anyone mention him as an influence.


That's not a good thing either.

EVH and DeMartini (Great tones and I loved that they both had some really great swing to their playing).
