Very tasteful soloing. I'm a bit curious about your influences and what players have inspired you the most to develop your style. |
Hi, thanks! I listened to a clip by you on youtube and you sound really nice.
I have tons of influences, I have gone through a bunch of different phases. I grew up playing metal, then got into Sting, Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal etc,
Metheny really got me interested in jazz when I was in high-school. then I went through a fusion period where Scott Henderson, Holdsworth, McLaughlin, Larry Carlton where my main guys. Later I got into Jim, Hall, Scofield, Abercrombie, Ralph Towner, Sylvain Luc etc.
Then went through another blues phase-B.B King, Robben Ford, Stevie, Ray,
I am also really into Django. I also play a lot of other styles of music-lots of classical guitar, blues, funk, pop/R&b, country, Chet Atkins-style etc.
These are just my guitar influences, I listen a lot to Keith Jarret, Bill Evans, Bobo Stenson, Coltrane, Miles etc..
My own playing has been gradually changing over the years and going through all these phases.
