tearriffic-deactivated20111218- asked: Oh you play guitar? Who are your inspirations?
Uh oh, that question alone will make me love you, because it’s a question about ME! I started guitar late in high school after playing bass for a while. This metalcore douche at a party was harshing my mellow with his power chords, and I, being drunk, asked him to show me a power chord. My hate of him turned into love of the instrument, and I steadily began to accumulate different amps, guitars, etc. over time.
My inspirations are all across the board, because I listen to so many different genres of music. I love metal shredders, acoustic sensitivos, people who don’t overdo the instrument and allow for space (David Gilmour from Pink Floyd is a HUGE influence). I can find inspiration in pretty much any guitarist, even if I despise their bands.
