Life time playing music in different genres. Have been a percussionist, drummer, bass player, along with several eastern instruments - mainly India - but always returned to the guitar. Like to make my backing tracks, but most people do it better than me, which is why I'm here. (:O
Now, only guitar.
Plain and simple - Garageband.
Snarky Puppy, Miles Davis - album Tutu.
Black Market and Heavy Weather - Weather Report.
Just about anything that's well played in the instrument - there's inspiration everywhere. Guitarists in particular, that I dig are; Scott Henderson, Luc Sylvain, Eric Gales, Guthrie Govan. Bands; Weather Report, Snarky Puppy to name two - I prefer genreless bands or fusion, like Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra etc.
Everything from Funk Fusion to Smooth Jazz but currently preferring something with more of an edge to it!
