My influences include David Gilmour, Alex Lifeson, Keith Scott, Andy Summers and Mike Campbell… do I sound like them? Heavens no…. It’d be pretty cool if I did though.

I think the question is more appropriately posed as "what influences do you hear within your guitar playing?". Like most people I can't say I sound exactly like anyone, but I can certainly hear various influences in the way I play. Having grown up playing in the late 60's and 70's I can clearly hear influences like Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton, Ritchie Blackmore, Alvin Lee, Joe Perry, Brian May, and Jerry Reed on my more country-ish twangs. I think we all borrow a little bit here and there and eventually come up with "our" sound. Depends on what era you grew up in and the who the guitar gods were at the time.


I see what you are saying, but for me, I am NOT influenced by Steve Cropper. I only knew of Green Onions for years before listening to more of their music (plus all of the Stax house band stuff, never knew that for a while either).
I found it very strange to hear a song with a guitar that sounded al lot like the way I play.

Some interesting replies here, but it seems the general concencus is "I sound like me".
Thats great that everyone can take from the pot and turn it into something individual rather than a Xerox copy.

No, it can not..........However, my guitar can help me remember those cherished moments.

Now there's a profound way of looking at things. :wink:
