Bloodbath... I still don't understand why Michael doesn't play guitar and why Jonas doesn't sing there. Now THAT would be "supergroup" :DQuote:

Today it's Ihsahn. My car's license plates have read "EQLBRM" for ages and a day.Quote:

Oh yeah saw that video bro - he should come back - for a player that wants to differentiates himself I don't think Charvel is a good fit. On the top of it, his charvel prototype is Suhr copy cat model so next he will be playing fender twin amps with high mods - endorsement deal -:biggrin:
In my early days on the guitar playing journey I wanted to be Gilmour, Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler and to a degree Slash and perhaps Brian May. These days I have no desire to try and be anyone else but certain elements of these guitarists and others have rubbed off on me. I do a lot of string bending which definately came from listening to Gilmour, whereas my like of legato runs comes from Gary Moore and maybe Slash. From them all - hopefully - is an ear for melody and putting an emphasis on feel rather than pure show off licks.
Gary Moore is the one person that I would aspire to play like.
When I play, I try to come up with my own stuff but of course, my playing and tone is influenced and inspired by several of the big names. For me, like for so many others, David Gilmour is the man. I've listened to Pink Floyd since the early 70's and never, ever get tired of it. And don't forget Steve Hackett. And.... ah, there's so many. Of the younger ones, it has to be Joe Bonamassa. He's incredibly good.
Another one of my great hero's is the SO underrated and uncelebrated Andy Latimer from Camel. That man can play the fiddle. Just listen to the song below and watch the man in the crowd wipe a tear or two after the song. Extremely emotional and soulful.

His picking technique is weird as hell, but I agree with Jfb as I think it attributes to his overall unique style.Quote:

That boy can wail.....
Gilmour and Trower...But I think that Vito Bratta has some good stuff that is not in the maintstream...
Dude! I remember Vito having a sheer lyricism to his leads that no shredder has matched.Quote:
