Victor Wooten, Monte Montgomery, SRV, Willy Porter, Willie Nelson, Jack Kerouac, Phil Keaggy, and of course Micheal Hedges, albeit mostly indirectly through some of the the aforementioned artists. And did I forget Brittney Spears? She's an influence too...
Neye Benziyor?
The eruption of a steel-stringed volcano, instantly fossilizing the unsuspecting natives below...so tragic.

Hailing from upstate South Carolina, Jacob Johnson is a
one-of-a-kind solo acoustic performance artist who specializes in
a style of guitar playing he calls "Neo-acoustic folk/funk". In his short
career he has already shared the stage with the likes of The Steel String Theory, Dave Matthews collaborator Tim Reynolds, and even funk maestro Robert Randolph.
In live performances, his off-the-cuff sense of humor and tongue-in-cheek sensibility disarm the audience and leave them completely unprepared for the multilayered guitar masterworks he unleashes. Jacob thumps, taps, and slaps his acoustic guitar into submission, weaving a musical tapestry that usually climbs to sonic frenzy whilst never losing its balance or control. His lyrics, thoughtful and realistic, are delivered with the wry sort of charisma that makes you wonder if he isn’t just making it all up as he goes.
And sometimes he is.
"From the New York beat poet adventure “Me and Jack Kerouac” to the
song that is sure to make most female listeners sigh wistfully, “Makeup”,
each song on Est. 1986 has lyrics that pull you in and makes you a part
of a unique story."- GreenvilleScene.com

thanks for the kind words (funny words too). I quite enjoyed your music as well. Just wish I could sing but then I have a hard enough time trying to remember how to play whatever it is I am playing at the time so I guess I better just keep trying to play. Plus my "vocals" make Willie Nelson and Dylan and yes even Ringo sound good. Take care!
