Do you ever heard you are what you eat? You are what you listen to.
We all have our favorite players that got us so inspired to take on this challenge of being a real guitar player. A real guitar player is not defined by a cute outfit. Or a catchy song that captures teenagers to fill your bank. I’m talking about people that really want to maximize their potential as an artist.
This is a very arduous process that is well worth pursuing. For example I’m listening to Pat Metheny and Buckethead. Then I will check out Stravinsky and Nirvana. I steal little ideas from both.
I love Mike Stern. I spent a lot of time trying to sound like him. Luckily for me trying to sound like him made me investigate theory, reading and phrasing etc.
Now I try to balance my diet.
All these cats have made a big influence on me.
When I only listened to Mike stern. I sounded like a guy trying to be Mike stern.
If you want to reach the level. Trust yourself and realize that whether one or a million people dig your music. It’s yours. And I can tell you it’s worth it!
