hmmmmmmm...

in my first year i wasn't doing as much as you, thats for sure. i remember i was into acdc and hendrix, and by the end of it i went into the satriani phase, which i'm still in now after 3 years, but i just got some becker stuff down, like serrana and 5th caprice, so i think i've just got the stuff your starting on down a bit after three. but yeh um, my influences are four:
joe satriani when it comes to melodies

john mcclaughlin when it comes to creativity

jason becker when it comes to fun,,,

and steve morse overall coz i idolize him.
