G.u.i.

or Guitarerring Under The Influence (not of drugs or alcohol)...this is a list of bands (with specific albums) that had a huge impact on my playing and style...
1Atreyu
The Curse


Eh I know Atreyu sucks but the solos are a good starting point for beginners...
2Avenged Sevenfold
Waking The Fallen


Pseudo-technical metal riffing...yepp...
3The Fall Of Troy
Doppelganger


Really fast hammer-ons and pull offs to open strings make things sound awesome...plus the taping...
4The Fall Of Troy
The Fall Of Troy


Same reasons as first...however this had more to do with opening me up to more unconventional chords and such...
5Between The Buried And Me
Alaska


Selkies...greatest song for learning arpeggios ever...
6Between The Buried And Me
The Silent Circus


More technical riffing/odd time signatures/heaviness/shred...yepp
7Protest The Hero
Kezia


More technical riffing...
8The Number Twelve Looks Like You
Put On Your Rosey Red Glasses


Spazzy spazzy grind...
9Dillinger Escape Plan
Calculating Infinity


Yeah...spazzy spazzy grind...the album practically forced me to try and understand more time signatures
10Coheed And Cambria
In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
11Coheed And Cambria
Second Stage Turbine Blade


Its ok to tinge your prog rock with some catchy pop-punk...
12Tera Melos
Drugs To The Dear Youth


Taping doesn't always need loads of distortion...you can also tap CHORDS!!!
13 Maps And Atlases
Tree, Swallows, House


See above album...
14The Sound Of Animals Fighting
Tiger & The Duke


Album inspired me to work on improvising a ton more than I had been...
15Keller Williams
Laugh


Acoustic music doesn't always have to be boring chord progressions...acoustic shred anyone?
