	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

	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

	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. Edited by BaldFriede
