I've been playing the guitar for over 30 years, ever since I got my first 3/4 size spanish guitar when I was 12. I learnt to play listening to Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin amongst others.
These days my style is more jazz orientated - I would say that my biggest musical influences are Miles Davis in a general musical sense, and Carlos Santana as a guitarist.
Of course, having had a long love affair with music, my influences are very broad - everything from jazz, funk, r&b, and blues to acid house, punk rock and reggae.
I also produce electronic music, mainly mellow funky stuff, with the occasional bit of banging house and dirty techno.
