These guys are responsible for my neighbors getting tortured by e-guitar noise since 1981:

i bet your neighbours think theres only 3 chords !!

haha come on that was an easy dig :wink: , ive seen Quo live and while im no Quo fan, i did have a good night.

my inspiration was a combination of growing up and loving Oasis, then my next door neighbour playing in his garden, and then putting the 2 together and getting him to teach me oasis.

job done

Ha ha ha :lol:
Humor aside, I have seen them live in 2004, that's where I took the photos above.
I was a fan since 1977 but it took me almost 30 years to see them live (unfortunately without Alan Lancaster on bass and John Coghlan on drums :( )

BTW, I wouldn't say easy dig. Have you ever tried playing their songs? It's not easy! There's way more behind their songs than one would think. :wink:
And no, I don't say that as a fan, I say it as a musician.

After I got guitar-infected by early Status Quo, there also was Edward van Halen as a big inspirer.
After him, there was Dave Murray (Iron Maiden) and the guys from Helloween.

I stumbled across blues legends like Rory and Stevie much, much later. Dummie me!!

I don't think any outside influence had any bearing on my becoming a musician.

Wait, let me rephrase that. At one time I might of been a musician, but now I kinda suck and am struggling to get back. I think my hard hardheadedness and the drive to be the best I can at whatever I do is my inspiration.

But if I'm forced to pick an outside influence, it would be Eric Clapton.

Jimmie Page did it for me. I didn't know the name of guitar or amps, I just knew that I wanted to play Zeppelin. Now, ironically, all I play is Fender guitars through Marshall amps, no Les Paul here.

Even though I'm not going to post it I'll never forget her name or the way she showed her appreciation for me learning that first song.

Nobody really inspired me. I was at the mall when I was 8 years old and saw a child sized guitar. That moment I wanted to play guitar, and I've been doing so ever since.

I would have to say my grandmother, as far back as I can recall, 3 to 5 years old, she loved Edith Piaf, Classical music, Segovia, just a wide range of rhythms would always permeate our Home in Southern France, from african rhythms to Middle eastern rhythms to traditional western music to Gypsy, Classical, Cabaret Jazz....The list is endless....
I don't know, so much I have forgotten but thanks for a retrospective down memory lane...
