MARKVECTOR82 Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 As guitar players we all have our influences and the players we love and respect But what players have crept into your style/guitar vocab. either out of sheer appreciation or osmosis. Who do you most sound like? (i know you sound like you!) but who crept in? Just a little?For me its 70's Jeff Beck-Partly stolen partly osmosis and early Billy Gibbons completely osmosis (i dont know how he got there but he did.)
BCR Greg Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Gary Moore, Brian May, Joe Walsh are my primaries.Do I sound like them? Beats me.
MARKVECTOR82 Posted March 25, 2005 Author Posted March 25, 2005 Gary Moore, Brian May, Joe Walsh are my primaries.Do I sound like them? Beats me. Such distinctively different players. theres got to be some voicings or even attitude thats rubbed off.?? I mean those guys are very recognizable. dont you think?
Miss Charlie Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 I may say that listening to a lot of Deftones as I write my next album has really got me sounding like Stephen Carpenter. He is great.
BCR Greg Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Yeah.I can imitate all of them quite convincingly, but my own voice is different.
Travis Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Right now it's Petrucci. Do I sound like him? Only in my wet dreams. I sound more like some of the European power metal guys out there right now. A little more gallop and a little less chugga chugga.
Scottcrud Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Tommy Victor, Tony Iommi, Joe Walsh, Neil Young, Angus & Malcolm Young, James Hetfield, David Gilmour, Greg Martin ( from Deadhorse, not the Kentucky Headhunters)Jim Heath,Those are my main influences, but I sound like a mix between Tommy Victor and Hetfield and Iommi.
atquinn Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Joe Satriani. I don't know if anybody else would think I sound like him, but alot of the stuff I do was inspired by him.-Austin
Guitarseh Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Mix Dave Murray and Vernon Reid, break all 20 fingers, and suck out all the talent, and you have my style MarkB
Kurt L Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Page, Page and Page, with a little more Page on the side. (Don't sound anything like him, of course.)
bobbymack Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Influences are Jimi Hendrix, Dickey Betts, Tommy Johnston, and Mark Knopfler. Not good enough to sound like any of 'em, maybe a little like each here or there...
Bluesking Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 For me, the biggest influence has always been Mountain's Leslie West, closely followed by Angus Young, Page, Kossof, early Billy Gibbons, and Peter Green.I'm not sure who I sound like, but I'd like to think I lean toward Gibbons and Green.Recently I've jamming to a lot of Roy Buchanan, so now I must have a T-51. Who's got one?
Jeff R Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 This thread made me figure it out, tobereeno needs to name his band...Yngwie Van Sinatra.
Michael_ Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Page, Page and Page, with a little more Page on the side. (Don't sound anything like him, of course.) Yeah, me too. Some of his phrasing has just kind of slipped in. I can't approach his sound or creativity though.
pesocaster Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Tommy BolinJeff BeckSteve MorseBilly GibbonsJoe WalshI have stolen little bits form each of them...
DavidE Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Jimmy Page. At least the pentatonics and sloppiness. And James Taylor.
BLuesBuster Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 What I sound like: Jimi/SRV/Billy G./Gary Moore/Frampton/R. Trower/D. BettsWhat I wanna sound like: EVH/Warren Haynes/Vai/Satriani/DiMeolaF0KK influences. Just be yourself!
Bass Guy Dave Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Players I intentionally sat down to learn and copy licks fromBB KingAngus YoungTy TaborCould I be mistaken for any of them? Not hardly, I think. But I'm sure people would spot some of the lick fragments.Other players I'm sure influenced me--A ton of Priestsome AcceptZakk WyldeEVHErci JohnsonI do none justice.Best Wishes
mario Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Jeff Beck, Rory Gallagher, Billy Gibbons, SRV, god there are so many.
Jeroen Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Influences for me were players like: Mark KendallVito BrattaKee MarchelloChris DeGarmoand maybe a few othersDo I sound like them....I don't really thinks so. If you compare things I play, it would be the closest to Mark Kendall. I wish I could play like Vito or write like DeGarmo, but I can't. A lot of people are telling me that my music sounds very 70's or 80's I've stucked and am proud of that!!!Jeroen
tomteriffic Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Early on: Ike Turner, T-Bone Walker, BB King, Nokie Edwards, Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, Chet Atkins, Bob Gibson (banjo and guitar pickin' folkie), Tommy Tedesco, Dennis Budimir, Dick Dale.Later: Robbie Roberston, Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop, Clapton, Dave Mason, Jim Peterik, Rev. Willie G., Steve Cropper, Ry Cooder.Do I sound like any of them? Only if you have the patience to listen closely to whatever it is in the junk that falls off my fingers.
kurtsstuff Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 biggest influence in my formative years was Tanquery and tonic...but I really opened up my eye's when I was intruduced to Capt. Morgans!! hey!! after all...they are "influences"....hehehe
foodermon Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Hendrix, Page, Alex Lifeson, Brian May...the more I play the less I sound like ass.
princeofdarkness56 Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Tony Iommi and Billy Gibbons for tone.Glen Buxton and Mike Bruce for attitude. They had that in spades.When in doubt, turn it up.
