your biggest influence(s)

KyleEpps	Date: October 30, 2005 @ 3:57 PM hey i was wondering what you guys think your biggest influence is..you can list several if you want but try to narrow it down as much as possible..preferably one..this can be who you think influences you most on guitar, songwriting, just overall pretty much..as for me I'd have to say the Beatles and if i had to narrow it down even more I'd say John Lennon..look forward to seeing you guys' responses!

BlackMage	Date: October 31, 2005 @ 10:29 AM "try to narrow it down as much as possible..preferably one." Santana, Hanneman and King. Minus King leaves Santana and Hanneman. Then... Santana wins. He has the greatest sounds, touches and whatever else. I'm hot wax when I listen to him. I always encourage people to get their own styles and sounds, but if there's something I want to sound like, then it's Santana.

mattbanx	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 3:29 AM I first got in to David Gilmour trying to play to Pink Floyd albums. But listening to Bob Weir (Grateful Dead) made me want to songwrite. But there are many guitarists that have inspired me. Many are not hosehold names, but the bands they are in sure are.
