Hmmm this is hard, as everyone mentioned it changes from week to week But the main ones are:


Richie Sambora - had a profound effect on me as kid learning to play guitar
Audley Freed - for those that don't know he use to play in Cry Of Love & The Black Crowes. the guy is amazing if you ever get a chance to see him perform...do it, just don't spill beer on his jeans :oops:
Rory Gallagher - touch, taste (pun intended) & songs, the man is a legend
Matt Schofield - kind of a weird choice, but the dude has opened my eyes to how to play guitar is certain ways
Jimmy Page - how this one guy be so sloppy yet be so influential....anyone? It's because he's got talent to burn.

See you next week for pt 2 :lol:
