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.
