Here Here! Well said, i love Olbrich and i try to incorporate some of his style into my playing and Kursch is my favorite singer/songwriter
but to answer the question, i would say ALeksi Laiho. he's so fast and more important extrememly clean in his playing. trying to hard to get that cleanliness into my playing. just amazing
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
