I discovered a book some time ago called "The New Rockstar Philosophy" which I think is very good. I have read it but I started again now writing down the most important items to be applied to my band and me.
The first chapter talks about "Who are you?". It says that every artist of the 20° century had a clear definition of who they are and were able to communicate to their fans. So the book suggest you to do a list with your 5 all-time top artists, but the idea is to remember why you pick up and instrument, started singing or composing, going to your roots. The n you have to analyse this list, ask yourself why each artist is on that list. Every artist on that list is connected with you so tells something about you and what you should strive for in impacting others with your music. I decided to do my list, based on those artist that were in my early musical days. I discovered lots of amazing and inspiring musicians then, but this were the first that planted the seed. Not in this specific order: 1. Ramones 2. Gun's & Roses 3. Nirvana 4. Rolling Stones 5. Iron Maiden What's your list? -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (DeGroot @ Apr 10 2013, 03:07 PM) My earliest impressions: 1. The Doors- My Dad tells me some of my first words was pointing to a Doors album cover and saying " Doors". 2. Led Zeppelin- around age 6 I started begging for a guitar for X-mas. I was convinced that Jimmy Page was the "best guitarist in the world". For some reason I got a toy trumpet for x-mas instead.  3. Scorpions- This band and Judas Priest was my introduction to hard and heavy music. I had a babysitter who would bring over Dio, Ozzy, and Priest records.  I was infatuated with the album covers even more than the music and it left a permanent impression.4. Metallica- got my first string instrument around age 13. Played bass and started a band with some friends. We had big plans for the future but only got around to playing some Metallica songs.  5. King Diamond- Probably gave me my first vision of how I'd like to eventually play riffs and solos. It lead me to seek out other solo guitarists, etc. I explore different music constantly but these are my deep-seated roots that started the musical journey.  Cool! I feel that I know much more about you now that you shared this list.

QUOTE (gregc1 @ Apr 10 2013, 05:16 PM) #1. Guns N Roses - The song You Could Be Mine in particular. Slash and that red BC Rich in the video grabbed me and then that coupled with Terminator 2 is what first made me want to play the guitar. Use Your Illusion 2 was the first CD I ever got. My mom was hesitant because of the parental advisory sticker but I promised her I wouldn't listen to the dirty songs.  My first cd was "Use Your Illusion I" and the second one was "Mondo Bizarro" by The Ramones.
