Totally Richard, the greats are never happy lol.
Frank Gambale is definitely the influence that changed my life. Harmonically he’s a lot more rock friendly as well and u can apply those licks straight “outta the box” where as Allan’s stuff takes some time and creativity. And even tho he saounds the same on an acoustic(true story) I have great trouble applying Legato in every musical setting( although anything’s possible with tons of compression).
Add in Steve Val for creativity, Dime for sheer brutality and feel, and TJ helmerich(Danielle Gotardo as well) for tapping and that’ll keep ya busy for a few lifetimes
