Which artists inspired you to play guitar ?

[Jimi D]

Is John Wayne Bobbitt on the board?

 

[Mike Duncan]

The Slowhand record was a big deal to me. My parents had TONS of albums. I would open up the album just get lost in how cool Clapton’s Strat looked.

 

[The Bird]

I think it was mostly these, in no particular order, but must've been around the same time (when I was 12-13 years):

Santana
Eric Clapton
Gary Moore
Mark Knopfler
James Hetfield & Kirk Hammett

 

[Maxime Bousquet]

Chuck Berry
B.B. King
Buddy Holly

Chuck Berry the most
His driving guitar in Johnny B Goode set my soul on fire!

I have to add John Cafferty
from the Movie Eddie & The Cruisers: Eddie Lives
The solo "Garden of Eden" spoke to me
I've watched that stupid movie a hundred times

When Eddie walks into the bar and judges the bass player, singer and the vexed young guitarist tell him to show him! this blues is killer lol!
