03.29.13 | All these guys are good, but listen to guys like Guthrie Govan and Steve Lukather for phrasing. |
Trebor.
03.29.13 | "I'm considering these guys as influences for my guitar playing"
What the fuck does that even mean you don't choose what influences you |
Trebor.
03.29.13 | Unless you're actively trying to rip something off |
ChuckyTruant
03.29.13 | Exactly what trebs said. You don't pick influences. That's not the way it works, bro. |
SitarHero
03.29.13 | "What the fuck does that even mean you don't choose what influences you"
Ummm, yeah you do. If you're trying to figure out how a guitarist does or plays something and then incorporate it into your own music it's choosing an influence. |
ChuckyTruant
03.29.13 | No, its not. That's studying another musician. "Choosing your influences" is like getting to pick your gene's before you are born. |
SitarHero
03.29.13 | "Choosing your influences" is like getting to pick your gene's before you are born."
False. If one prefers Alex Lifeson's soloing to Glenn Tipton's, then one is probably going to try to write solos that are similar to the former and not the latter. Influence has been chosen. |
ChuckyTruant
03.29.13 | Lol. Not how it works, sorry kiddo. |
BigBlob
03.29.13 | what a gay argument. all of you. |

03.29.13 | You start with what seems accessible to you, usually starting with something you can play. As you develop you'll move on to something/someone new. Don't put yourself in a box before you've even gotten off the ground. Cart meet horse... you go on the other end. ;-) |
BigBlob
03.29.13 | so many people on here have obviously never played an instrument |
ChuckyTruant
03.29.13 | lol bigblob you are dumb |
BigBlob

ChuckyTruant
03.29.13 | i would bet you don't play any instruments |
BigBlob
03.29.13 | A guitar.

SitarHero
03.29.13 | "Lol. Not how it works, sorry kiddo."
Then please enlighten me on how it works, 'kiddo'. |
JackSparrow
03.29.13 | I started off playing Nirvana songs on drums cuz thats all I could do. No way do I consider Dave Grohl one of my favorite drummers but I can't say he wasn't an influence. Geez. |
ChuckyTruant
03.29.13 | You listen to music you like, you begin to pick things up from guitarists in those bands. You maybe try to learn some of their stuff. You start playing guitar more in the vain of that guitarist/band. Repeat. |
ChuckyTruant
03.29.13 | oh shut up malleus |
Xplisit
03.29.13 | thats xplisit to you |

And that's different from what I said, how? |
BigBlob

03.29.13 | Dannyboy you never would have gotten caught in this shit if you just fucking spelled potential right the first time |

savagecabbage
03.29.13 | shut up and play yer guitar. problem solved. |
bloc
03.29.13 | I am always confused when I try to think about what my influences are. True, Josh Homme made me WANT to pick up the guitar, but play nothing like him really. |
mandan
03.29.13 | @ckreticeland: Spanish is my first language, so I got a bit confused. |
CK
03.29.13 | Ahh I see. Well, now you know how to spell potential :D |
SitarHero
03.29.13 | So this thread hasn't been a complete failure. |
Necrotica
03.29.13 | I really like this list, there are a lot of underdogs. Kudos for putting Neal Schon in there |
mandan
03.29.13 | @ckreticeland: I'm fully bilingual, but in Spanish one says "potencial" so it's one letter of difference. Such confusions happen to me sometimes, but I do my best to avoid them. Thank you for your good intentions btw. |
CK
03.29.13 | No problem. In all honesty, the English language is pretty fucked up |
