Introduction
I've been playing the guitar seriously since 2007 (with also some less serious playing back when I was 16-17). Besides playing the guitar, I have always been involved in playing music (piano, keyboards, drums), which certainly is helpful for rhythmic feeling etc. In 2008 I started my own band together with two other persons, which gives a nice boost in my playing abilities as well.
Influences and Playing
I have been influenced by many guitarists over the years, of which the following ones in particular:
- BB King
- Steve Rothery
- Carlos Santana
- Stevie Ray Vaughan
- John Mayer
- Jan Akkerman
- Pete Townsend
- Brian May
