Well i just started playing guitar recently, but the musicians who influence me are:

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

For most it does not come easily
For some it comes with pain
From a thought to a living sight
For some it's a life for some a game
