Influences
I have many many influences on my playing my original influences were people like Buddy Holly ; Cliff Gallup; The Jam ; The Clash ; Mark Knopfler is still a big influence; but I really love so many different types of guitarists. I love alternative ; minimalist playing styles too where the timing and the tone of the guitar is more important than quantity of notes played. Peter Green is also one of my favourite guitarists where the tone speaks so much richness of texture.
