Hey everyone!! At my Music School in SoCal USA working on a bridge for one of my songs.
It's a blend of Blues/Rock Jazz and Funk. The changes are:
B-7/E B-7 Cadd9

I love blending Funk with everything, but my style is somewhat all over the place :-)
My early guitar tuition came from my cousin who only played Heavy Metal - there was a lot of Judas Priest and Scorpions if I remember correctly.

Before I began playing guitar, though, I listened to a lot of Stax, Motown, and James Brown.
So, needless to say, I ended up mixing all of that together.

Later, other influences were added like horn players. I mentioned in a previous post how much I love horn players - their phrasing is different than most guitarists, and I'm really drawn to that. Here are some horn players to check out that were pretty inspiring to me:

  • Miles Davis
  • John Coltrane
  • Eric Dolphy
  • Rahsaan Roland Kirk

I mentioned the guitarists who influenced me before as well, I keep getting new followers, so bear with me: 😊

  • Roger Troutman
  • Jimi Hendrix
  • Albert King
  • Scott Henderson
  • Jason Becker

In addition to them, I also like Jef Lee Johnson, Stevie Salas, Linc Chamberland, Yngwie Malmsteen, Charlie Singleton and Charlie Hunter.

I also get a lot of inspiration from drummers like:

  • Dennis Chambers
  • Lenny White

Whether you are in the creative arts or not, you usually take the best bits from your heroes/mentors and try to carry it higher - to another point.

I believe that's what we all strive for.

"Carring the Torch" we call it

Thanks for watching!!! 😊
