What influences you?


Recommended Posts

Slash and GNR definitely inspired me to pick up the guitar when I was a young lass. Guitarists who have had the most influence on the direction I decided to take my own sound are Kurt Ballou (Converge), Dave Knudson (Botch, Minus The Bear), Adam Fisher (Fear Before, Orbs), Omar Rodriguez Lopez (The Mars Volta, At The Drive-In), Thomas Erak (The Fall of Troy), and Ben Weinman (The Dillinger Escape Plan). I have a serious thing for guitarists who make a great use of dissonance... I LOVE that shit

Embarrassingly, Ace Frehley was my #1 when I was younger, he's basically the reason I picked up the guitar. I'd say throughout the course of my playing, my main influences have been Paul Gilbert, Slash, Rory Gallgher, Rik Emmett, and Jimmy Page. Alex Lifeson almost makes the list, but 80's Rush really doesn't do it for me.
