Before I listened to SRV, I sounded a lot like him, because I loved playing the blues with an attitude, much like Gary Moore. After a while, I finally checked out SRV, and he influenced me even more, since it seemed like that was the sound I was trying too achieve.
Also, I have listened to a lot of Van Halen and Satch, and I have tried to get close to Allan Holdsworth's tone.

It gives one weird style, mine...
