Who inspired you most on your instrument?

[BluesBro]

I really struggle with this, I was born to a musical family and was addicted to it. I couldn't go to sleep without listening to music. It was mostly jazz and blues.

I don't have any specific influencers as such, but when I write music, I can often go back to my roots and find something from many specific artists, it might be a riff that reminds me of someone, but I can probably fin several influences in each song.

[JeraldHenry]

Actually my biggest influence was a drive deep within my heart to learn guitar.

Square Pusher
He's a great bass player and an excellent programmer.
Skinny Puppy and The Mad Professor and King Tubby are also major influences.

[Musicluv2]

for me, my friends inspire me to pick up an instrument and play it. all my friends are musicians and just seeing them play inspires me.

I am totally a Maynard James Keenan wannabe.

You are not alone he is so talented man and I am addict to his voice and style! I even made couple glitter graphics images dedicated to him!

[Kino]

I think James Young probably inspired me a lot.

[Johnguitars]

A great many guitar heroes and legends have already been mentioned and I would like to add to that hall of fame with my own insirational personality but........

it was the Monkees.

Not even the Arctic variety,

just the plain, old err Monkees.

So there goes my street cred in one fell swoop.

Everyone who plays the Drums

[Class6]

I started out playing guitar, but when I was put into my band Class 6 they needed a bassist. The person that really inspires me most on my instrument is P-Nut from 311. Studying his style, techniques and in-depth bass lines taught me a [bleep] of a lot about bass. Personally, some bassists make their instruments look like it is just the most boring thing ever. But P-Nut showed me how to not only have fun with it, but to be the best musician I can be.
