Who has influenced you the most on your respective instrument? This could also correspond with who are your favorite musicians on a specific instrument.
For me:
- Alex Lifeson
- Adrian Belew
- Robert Fripp
- Frank Zappa
- Steve Hackett

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band, plus everyone else I've ever listened to, come into contact with, or known. Even things I hate have influenced me in some way, positive or negative. Oh yeah, and Yes and Mr.Bungle.

For my style of drumming the late Pierre Moerlen of Gong was a very big influence (hence my signature pic ). His style of starting with a simple rhythm and making it more and more complex the longer he plays until he is finally all over the place is what I really love about him (and also the reason he is very underrated as a drummer, because he doesn't go flashy right from the start, he slowly builds his drumming up, until he comes to a climax. and probably only a trained drummer can really appreciate what he is doing). To a lesser extent Bill Bruford; what I took from him is his habit of slightly delaying the hit on the snare; I like that effect.

Let´s see, influence?
Jimmy Page more than anybody I think...specially in the solos
Robert Fripp, with his experimentation
Slash has also influenced me with the soloing
Jonas Engdegård from Anglagard...well, realy Anglagard as a whole...because sometimes I dont know who made each melody...and that´s what I take from them
apart of them...I guess no other comes up to my mind...at least not as a main influence
ahhh, and as I also compose in the bass
Chris Squire with his strong and thick bass lines
Again Anglagard
Greddy Lee in the rockish parts

Well i just started playing guitar recently, but the musicians who influence me are:
- Yngwie Malmsteen (he was the one who made me want to learn to play)
- Steve Howe -I love playing his stuff, its easy enough that i can learn it, but it sounds great
- Ritchie Blackmore - anyone who plays guitar has learned how to play smoke on the water
- Robert Fripp -his experimental and crazy sounds are great, i want to sound half as good as he does
- Steve Vai -I admire this man so much, he is today's Hendrix
- Bach -his music should be inspiration for everyone
