Influences

I initially taught myself to play by learning Satriani, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Skid Row and various other stuff that was in guitar magazines circa 1991. Ever since then I've been consciously avoiding emulating anyone in particular and developing my own style... with questionable success...
