I started playin' guitar when I was 4. I played strictly country/Bluegrass 'til I was 16. I had a lot of catching up to do so I dove right into Sabbath, Zeppelin, Floyd...etc. At that time Yngwie,George Lynch,McAlpine and all the "Bach Rock" artists became popular (while I was still catching up).I hear something I like and try to learn it to incorporate it into my own music.
