Influences:

Recognized as one of the most creative and influential musicians in the world, influencing the likes of : Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen and Stevie RayVaughan, Jimi Hendrix pioneered the use of feedback and controlled distortion. In addition, he created cool psychedelic sounds and clever improvisations building upon other blues greats such as: T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, and BB King. Muddy Waters (1915-1983) "Muddy Waters transformed the soul of the rural South into the sound of the city, electrifying the blues at a pivotal point in the early postwar period." Buddy Guy “His explosive, exhilarating vocal and guitar style has not only influenced untold blues guitarists but some of the biggest names in rock and roll history, including Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.” B.B. King "Known worldwide as the “King of the Blues”, his “trademark” is his instantly recognizable vibrato. "Nicknamed "Slowhand", is a Grammy Award winning English guitarist, singer and composer, who is one of the most respected and influential musicians of the 20th century, garnering an unprecedented three inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." "The guitar work of Albert King lives on in the playing of literally thousands of blues, rock, and jazz guitarists. Picking with his bare fingers and the volume turned WAY up, Albert created perhaps the most cutting and immediately identifiable electric blues guitar style ever. Absolutely one of the most powerful, articulate, and soulful string benders ever." "He achieved all of this with a driving rock and roll rhythm that was, if not brand new certainly unique enough to be instantly recognizable. For those reasons he more than any other artist, is responsible for the direction of popular music." "Bo Diddley broke new ground in rock and roll’s formative years with his unique guitar work, indelible African rhythms, inventive songwriting, and larger-than-life persona. He will forever be known for popularizing one of the foundational rhythms of rock and roll: the Bo Diddley beat." "Vaughan drew equally from bluesmen like Albert King Otis Rush and Muddy Waters and rock & roll players like Jimi Hendrix and Lonnie Mack as well as the stray jazz guitarist like Kenny Burrell developing a uniquely eclectic and fiery style that sounded like no other guitarist, regardless of genre." .. "Rory Gallagher (1948-1995) was the Irish Eric Clapton, without the hits. In his own late-Sixties Cream, the power trio Taste, and then as a prolific solo artist, Gallagher electrified his passion for Deep South blues with a feral attack spiked by vicious and precise bent-string screams." Danny Gatton (September 4, 1945 - October 4, 1995) "The Telecaster master they called The Humbler was a guitar picker of remarkable virtuosity who wrenched a shimmering, blazing, twanging assault of sound from his guitar in a seamless blend of blues, jazz, rockabilly, country and rock ‘n’ roll that was uniquely his own. If ever it could be said that they broke the mold when they created a guitar player, it was for Danny Gatton." "Combining technical mastery and pop brilliance, Satriani stands out as the most lyrical of the old-school, rock-guitar heroes."
