Hey all, I just recently joined here at TL, but I have been visiting here for probably over 2 months, but....anyways,

I'm sure there are plenty of musicians here, especially because there was some kind of BotB thread somewhere around here at one point in time.

I was just wondering who is your favorite/who do you think is the most influential guitarist in your life?

Personally my guitar hero is hands down: Stevie Ray Vaughan
[image loading]





I think he has just got to be the best. He is the perfect combination of all the great guitarist of his time like: B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, ect.

Throughout my own journey to play guitar I would say he has influenced my playing the most. Every time he bends a string you can tell he just pouring his frickin' soul into it, y'know?

It would also be interesting to know (When you were first starting out) which guitarist got you into playing.

When I first started I was REALLY into Black Sabbath. For some reason when I found that the guitarist, Tony Iommi, lost the tips of 2 of his fingers but could STILL play fantastic guitar, I was encouraged to try harder.
(If he can do it with 2 tips missing, why can't I do it with all of mine?)

So, Sorry if this is a lame thread or anything, delete if you desire it so.
But anyways, Discuss!

I underestimated that boy. No... it was not the boy I underestimated, it was the Triforce of Courage.

Do bass guitarists count?

If so, Matt Freeman, one of my main inspirations on the bass.

Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth.

Eduardo Ardanuy from Dr. Sin:

2:35 - 3:00 is FREAKING SCARY. The camera dude clearly can't follow his hand.

oh, and Paul Gilbert:

Song really starts at 0:20. I think no comment is needed.

That been said, I'm actually a drummer.

Eh, I don't really see the big deal with shredders like Paul Gilbert.

I mean, technically, of course he is amazing.

But to me he doesn't have that 'soul' y'know?
That special 'Touch'.
