Cause his style of playing really reached out to me, when I really heard it I thought "I've gotta learn how to play like that." I'm also heavily influenced by BB king, I love the way he incorporates those major licks into his phrasing. I've spent a lot of time working on the scale patterns, chromatic pulloffs, working on speed with the alternate picking etc. The big influence that you would prolly hear right away is Jerry Garica. What is your combination for your ideal, unique language? Whose language is the most similar to yours? Whose language do you consider your ideal for the way you want to express yourself with the guitar? I suspect that most of us will aspire to a combination of players and possibly difference aspects of each of these players. Most of us don't pronounce our words or articulate phrases and sentences as well as our influences, but they are close enough to be considered understandable as the same language. We combine these influences and add our own words and phrases to create our own, unique languages. You can hear these influences in any player's language (with song by song variation, of course). We're thieves who steal from those who influence us. We all learn most of our words and phrases from others. We then learn to use this language to sing. Unless you are a clone player, we all have our own unique language. Combinations of words and phrases make up sentences, etc., until the result is our playing language. Combinations of notes make up words and phrases. We all know that old analogy: Our playing is a language that we use to express ourselves.
