Ever since In Flame’s Battles came out I’ve been on a Bjorn kick. He’s got that Zakk Wylde wah soaked lead style but his riffs are slick and thoughtful. Matter of fact I’m holding his signature Les Paul right now browsing through here. Besides him it would have to be Joseph Milligan from Anberlin. I’ve loved them for years and their sound just comes naturally out of me when I write music.

syn is who originally got me playing but some guys i found afterwards who really inspired me where alot of guys on youtube like Rob Chapman, Rob Scallon, and Jared Dines. Ive also always looked up to more well known Guitarists like Zakk Wylde, James Hetfield, And David Gilmour.

Jari Maenpaa who is the singer/compositor/lead guitarist for Wintersun. Well he doesn’t play guitar for the band anymore on stage but still compose guitar tracks (and basically everything else) for the albums. He’s absolutely insane at composing and he has incredible guitar skills technically speaking.
Then Steve Vai, Marty Friedman, Satriani, Buckethead, Petrucci. And some others.

    Mark Tremonti, Matt Heafy, Paul Gilbert (dude is so intensely in love with music and playing guitar without pretension that you can’t help but love him), Adrian Smith, Frankie and Tommie from Tesla, Keith Douglas from Tora Tora, Brad Paisley, Richie Sambora (check out the solo in “Dry County” to see why), Randy Rhoads, Criss Oliva (Savatage), Mark Holcomb and a mountain of others.
    So many people I wish I could play like… But every time I plug in, I just sound like me.
