Name the 4 or 5 guitarists that most informs your playing

[JerEvil]

Oh man, for me it’s these cats:

• Ace Frehley
• Tony Iommi
• Andy LaRocque
• George Lynch

Lots of other “sauce” taken from others but those are my guys.

1. James Hatfield
2. Jerry Cantrell
3. Dimebag
4. Dave Mustaine
5. Mark Morton

I'm more of a rhythm player so i feel these guys have left the biggest imprint on my playing. Especially Hetfield and Cantrell, but lately I've been learning a lot by playing old Lamb Of God songs with their weird finger twisting riffs. Like that second riff in "now you've got something to die for". That's difficult.

70-80’s Neal Schon
Luke
EVH
Satch
Lynch
Dan Huff

 

[Fusionbear]

If you listen carefully to my hack playing, you will hear a little bit of these guys:

1. Jimmy Page
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Michael Schenker
4. Uli Roth
5. Gary Moore

These were my earliest influences and guitar heroes..

Ed, Lynch, Neal Schon, Leslie West, Joe Walsh.

It depends if you ask other people or ask me. That list is a bit of a blend, because I don’t try to do the Ed thing, but I’ve listed to so much VH that it just comes out, and playing covers in bands people always say “you make that sound like Van Halen”. I think that also comes a little bit from them being ignorant of other players, which is fine. In my mind, I rip off Vito Bratta way more than Ed.

For me Ed is the “sound”, George is the experimental nature, and the rest of the guys are who I’d like to play like.
