Influences & Guitar Playing Style
Author: Chris LeopoldInfluences:
Sometimes I’m asked about who has most influenced the way I play guitar. There have been many great guitarists that I’ve listened to and learned something from, so it’s not an easy question to answer. But if I had to narrow it down to just a few that I feel have shaped my playing style, I would have to say: U2’s ‘The Edge’, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Jimmy Page, and Andy Summers (of The Police).
Styles & Tunings:
I enjoy music from a wide variety of styles, but my preference is for Hard Rock, New Wave, and the Blues. I’m not much into exotic guitar tunings. I pretty much stick to standard.
Guitars:
I have several guitars that I occasionally play with, but the ones I find myself always going back to are my Fender Stratocaster, and my Epiphone Casino.
