Bass - Chris Squire, Trevor Dunn, Rockette Morton (of the Magic Band), Ray Shulman, Greg Lake (mainly because of Schizoid Man, tho)
Electric Guitar - Captain Beefheart / Bill Harkleroad (of the Magic Band), Robert Fripp (I enjoy the atonal, untrained style of electric guitar, going out of your way to do tritones and dissonant things and the like)
Acoustic Guitar - Steve Howe/Hackett (mainly because "Mood for a Day" and "Horizons" are the only real pieces I know on the instrument
Piano - Captain Beefheart,...nobody, really...maybe Tony Banks, 'cause "Firth of Fifth" is one of the few piano pieces I've bothered to take the time to learn

Trumpet - Many jazz bands during the twenties are my main influences, no bands specifically.
Organ/Piano - Not much insperation from anyone, just mess around on it trying to learn stuff on my own, so far I haven't. I do know many chords though, just no theory.
Tips for playing the piano or organ would be very much appreciated.

I play bass guitar. I'd say I'm most influenced by Tony Levin, though I'm a very different player and not even in the same universe when it comes to skill. I try to emphasize tone, ornamental nuance, and melodicism.
