Influences
Rock and Roll is my home turf. From The Rolling Stones, through AC/DC and Oasis to Hellacopters. Music that is as much about the sound as the attitude. I pretty much like to skip the 80's, but I find inspiration from early blues records to more contemporary acts.
I more recently found there is so much great country these days and in my teens I was also a fan of powerpop/punk acts like Blink 182.
Guitar
Playing the guitar is essential.
It amplifies everything.
It can be meditational as well as an outlet for energy. From Flamenco to Neo-Classical, it can sound so different yet be the same.
If I were to mention some of my favorite players, I would toss in names like Ritchie Blackmore, both Malcom and Angus Young, Justin Hawkins and Yngwie.
