Buenas influencias!, me identifico muchísimo con Eric Johnson, aunque en mi época de aprendiz no entendía mucho su música, con el tiempo me ha impactado profundamente y he tratado de aprender mucho de su técnica... Pronto te traigo mi lista de influencias!!... Saludos!

Gracias @dreamrafa! ,si Eric Johnson es una gran influencia a nivel mundial! Espero ver tu lista :) . Un abrazo!

This is a beautiful post you did for us @pechichemena, it is interesting to discover your influences and you are truly very talented! I love the fact that you put your brother up there at number 1, he is a pretty impressive player! It is sooo hard to choose a top 5, I would have to go for Andres Segovia, Robert Johnson, BB King, Joe Satriani, Buddy Guy... (Dick Dale, Jimmy Hendrix, Johhny Winter...etc etc etc..lol) So many good players out there... Great post pechi!

Thank you very much my friend! thank you for your words ! Yes , my brother is my top influence , even though nowadays we have completely different styles ,he was the one that taught me the basics and opened my ears to guitar playing , I started listening more metal and my early heroes were more into that style of music , Marty Friedman, Malmsteem, Dimebag Darrell, Michael Romeo and such ( I still love those guys) but nowadays I'm mostly inclined to more blues/jazz derived players. Cool list btw ! Seeing that you have Andres Segovia as a first name and Robert Johnson as a second means that you like a wide variety of music ! That is very cool ! Cheers bro!

Ah yes, Eric Johnson's tone and playing is superb. Enjoyed your solo inspired by him, great work.

Thank you very much @cizzo , yes , Eric Johnson is a world class player , it's impossible to sound like him , but at least we can grab some inspiration and include it in our own voice. Thanks For your comment! Cheers!

Interesting stuff. Some new players to me. There's just so many great players out there. I want to do some serious work on improving my playing this year. My technique is okay, but I'm lacking some knowledge of theory that I think could help me. I've got a few books to work through.

Hey @steevc , thanks for commenting ! There are so many players out there that are amazing , it can be a never ending search . I'm happy to hear that you want to ''level up'' your guitar playing , there's always something more to learn, as mike stern said : ''The more you know , the less you know'' and I find it very true hahaha . Theory in guitar can be quite grudging because the understanding of the fretboard layout is not so simple , so maybe in piano you read about a certain voicing and there is 1 way of playing it and good , let's move to the next one. Guitar has an extra layer of difficulty in that sense that I think most of us overlook . I don't know your level of theory or guitar knowledge but may I suggest a book?

This is a really useful way of ''melding '' the world of theory and notation to the layout of the guitar , I found it extremely useful ! Recommended of all levels of playing! Also , let me know if there is a particular subject you'd like to know about , maybe I can help you with it :) . Cheers my friend!

@pechichemena Awesome post man, I like how you have tried to meld all your influences together but not forgotten how to go back to them and dig deep. I think I will do a similar post as my top 5 are pretty different. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much @outoftune ! . I saw your post , very nice list btw!

Thanks for sharing. Lots of names I haven't heard before, but will be learning more about very soon!

Thank you @proxytech ! I'm glad you liked the post ! looking forward to your list ;)

This list is pretty great. My personal list goes a little something like this:

Eric Johnson
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
John Petrucci

I love pure instrumental guitarists. It's a shame that these instrumental guitar virtuoso's don't get much love these days with the rise of pop and EDM and such. I personally love Eric Johnson and Joe Satriani. I actually just posted a cover of Cliffs of Dover on my channel if you were interested. I also have covered Joe Satriani songs in the past as well.
