Lately it has been Paul Gilbert 1st Because I really like is playing is so balanced just plain awesome then in 2nd we have is personality he is not a complete ass just because he plays very good. He is humble and a true friend of his public! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Check out his youtube video in the GMC, Lessons and Practicing forum under the " A Very General Question About Picking" thread. I've already copped some ideas from this video. I like his bluesy style that goes beyond blues. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Then I fell in love with Carlos Santana who convinced me to buy an electric guitar. I played his songs for about one year and I was really satisfied when I could play his "fast legato licks" (only 3 notes on 1 string ). Soon after that, I discovered GMC and read a little bit about great players (Ynwgie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani,...). None of them was ok for me but Steve Vai. He is probably my biggest influence. Then I realized that I need more guitarists to analyse because only one is boring (that doen´t mean that Steve Vai is boring, but always the same is a bit unhealthy). So, I played a bit Satch and tried Yngwie Malmsteen and Paul Gilbert and others. Some months ago, I perceived that Muris is incredible. He and Vai are on first place of my influences. I always get new motivation when seeing them play... Thanks for this. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Directly my hero is local(from Serbia,Montenegrao acctualy)he lives and works here in Belgrade,and his name is Vlado Georgiev.That name does not mean anything to you,but to me it does.I met him acctualy ,that was just a boost up of confidence for me. So many times I brake down,and start not to beleve in my self,I just remeber his example,and I know that any one with a strong will power could make it in evrery line of work.
