every musician and every song I've heard. Though as a guitarist my sound is either very Gary Moore or very Michael Schenker...But without boasting many people think my song Sleeping Giant is very Satch sounding, though I don't own any of his albums.

But the artists that got me hooked were, Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones) Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple and Rainbow)Queen and Alice Cooper. The musicians that kept me going and were my "teachers" wereRitchie Blackmore, Brian May, Randy Rhodes, Gary Moore (hands down my favorite guitar player) and Michael Schenker...
