I think I forgot to mention... Lamb of God (along with lots of other GOOD metal bands) have had a huge influence on my style, I still can't play like them though! :D even just tabs of their music is pretty hard for me!

Led Zeppelin's "Over the Hills and Far Away".

I had listened to Satch and other stuff, but had no real appreciation for what they were playing and the difficulty of it.

i acutally had no real band that made me WANT to learn guitar. i just wanted to look cool so i picked it up.

the first song i got good at was purple haze, so i guess ill say that was my inspiration to keep going.
