I'm learning of players to check out. I'm reminded to check out some players again.

Here are some more players that have done something to my style:

Dave Navarro - Jane's Addiction
Tom Capone - Quicksand, Handsome
Tim Lash - Hum
Johnny Marr - The Smiths
The Edge - U2
Nick McCabe - The Verve

weed....really gets the improvisational juices flowing

Classical music, Randy Rhoads and Yngwie are pretty much my trilogy of major influences.

Huge Hum fan here. 8)

Like others, there are too many to list, but I'll post some that might not have been mentioned as much so far:
Alex Lifeson -- always an influence

Ty Tabor -- another continual influence

Grant Estes on the immortal first ST album

Misha; I don't care what anyone says. He's a very good writer and guitarist IMO.

Uli Jon Roth -- one of the best guitarists with the worst vocals ever.

the guys from Protest the Hero -- two really good guitarists.

And this is just fun and has good guitar playing. 8)

Added edit: I just noticed most aren't posting any vids; if doing so slows down the page on phones, etc., please let me know and I'll delete the vids. Thanks. 8)

In all honesty, it's always been and still is people around me that inspire me the most. Sometimes they inspire me through positive means, and other times its negativity. Both tend to yield a good result.

I try and surround myself with people who are gracefully better than me at whatever it is I am trying to achieve, and that is really inspiring.

My list is endless. Everybody mentioned is definitely worthwhile + Ian MacKaye, Brendan Small, Scott Ian, The Beatles, Adam D.
