RE: My guitar influences

in #guitar7 years ago

I think you're missing the Eric video?

We share some favourites there as I'm also a huge fan of Jimmy, Eric, Jimi and May. I've avoided using the word influence there as I'm unsure how they've changed me...I need to work that out.

Lennon has though so he is definitely up there and also Slash. Both make me reflect back on periods of my life and maybe decisions I've made or ways I've behaved.

Sort:  

Fixed that. I think it depends a lot on what was around when you are growing up. We didn't have access to the internet, so it was what we heard on the radio or TV and whatever records we could get hold of. I only wish I'd played far more back then to build my skills.

Most or what I like now is what my dad listened to when I was a lad. I didn't really take to it until later life though. My sister was more of the music fan back then so I was mostly exposed to Aha, Michael Jackson and Madonna.

My parents were more into singers like Peggy Lee and Pat Boone, but then music was not a massive thing in our house. They did encourage us to play an instrument and I'm glad I kept it up. My sister was more into music than I was initially. It's only in my late teens that I really got into it.
