rory gallagher and e.c. have inspired me the most. i have went through different stages of playing in the past 26 yrs but i still return to those guys the most. i have others that i like and have influenced me some metal, some country even some jazz. but my love is blues and i like the direction that rory and e.c. took it.blues is the roots of most of the music we listen to. so i'm happy where i am, i even like the sound i have....mine.

Influenced by too many to mention, but someone described my guitar-playing as "Jimmie Vaughan with some Billy Gibbons pinch harmonics and pure Texas attitude."

Playing slide, I was initially influenced a lot by Muddy Waters, but there's a lot of Ronnie Wood's slide excursions injected in there.

Playing harp, influenced greatly by Kim Wilson and Little Walter, but I end up playing remarkably like Paul Butterfield (and this is strange, because I never studied or listened to his playing, nor considered him an influence). Maybe because we both play harp "upside down" and stay in the lower registers (first six holes).

Vocals--equally mix Mick Jagger with Waylon Jennings, and add some Joe Ely phrasing and Muddy Waters' mispronunciation.




PS--I thought you were going to leave us, thejakeludwig, because we were so mean. What happened to change your mind?

I was influenced by many like Rory Gallagher, Roy Buchanan, Johnny Winter, Son House etc but sound like none of them. I'm my own player and work hard Not to sound like anyone. But we're all Magpies and thieves aren't we? When I was 15 an older gentleman heard me play at a small gig at a private club and told me I sounded like Roy Buchanan and I chuckled because I had no idea who he was. :lol:

Carlos Santana and I sound and play exactly like him. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it).

[quote="brotherdave"]I gave up on trying to play guitar at any sort of professional level years back. If Jack Benny had played guitar instead of violin....yeah, like him.

Back when I was a kid I wanted desperately to sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan, but knew that was not going to happen no time soon. Folks said I sound like Angus Young trying to sound like Stevie ray :roll: . When I got in to my twenty's, I got smart and stopped trying to sound like anyone who everybody already knew. I began to draw bits and pieces from the guitarist who influenced me the most and meld what I got from them with what I already had, and there you have it. And you know what people say to me now-a-days, "Wow, you sound a little like Angus Young if he where trying to play like Stevie Ray Vaughan." :cry: :roll: :shock: Oh well... I guess I'll just go back to playing the violin. That's not joke, it came before the guitar :roll:.

Heavily influenced by Clapton, Duane Allman, and Billy Gibbons. I have "borrowed" licks from a multitude of sources (haven't we all!!) Determined to forge my own sound, I consciously strive to not copy anyone. I feel like I'm at least partly successful in that.

Musically, I really sound like no one.

Vocally, I sound like a cross between a rusty buzz saw and a bull moose with a bellyache.

Therefore, I tend to shy away from vocal endeavors.

My acoustic style is heavily influenced by Bob Dylan only because as a songwriter the guy is amazing.
As a Rock guitarist I would love to say that I sound like Steve Vai. The guy has definately had a huge impact on my playing style. But I come off a little more like Jeff Beck because I come from the era of players. I have to be honest, Clapton, Paige, Santana...those guys don't move me. When I was a kid they did but as I grew and the instrument itself and its players evolved, those guy got to be kind of over played in my head.

8) All the hot shots of the 60's were my idols. Though I'm not sounding much like any of them today, they had a great influance in my music. Once in a while when I don't expect it, I will here some of there quality coming out of my guitar. Altho my voice is completely out of whack, I still hear a little of that old magic that I loved so much. If there ever was an opportunity, it went by me so fast I dident Evan know it was there. :shock: :lol: :lol: 1959/65
