Is there anything in your playing you can call your own?

Nah I think you should be allowed to hear who you hear in terms of influences in other peoples playing. For instance I regularly get big hits of Billy Gibbons in more bluesy Joe Satriani stuff, but it's not something it seems a lot of other people hear.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

I used to hear Nana Mouskouri in my playing, then I got laser eye surgery and it faded.

Spooky... The very first thing I ever learned on guitar was the opening melody to Never on a Sunday.null_pointer wrote:I used to hear Nana Mouskouri in my playing, then I got laser eye surgery and it faded.

Re: Is there anything in your playing you can call your own?
I used to get comments about "fluid" sounding playing, mainly because I used heaps of hammeron/pulloff but I sound clunky through no practice now.
I do like to do a massive slide into a bend, which sounds a lot different to either just bending or just sliding up to the same note. But i don't think I can claim to own that.

They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

I'm very fond of semitone and minor third bends (the former stolen from Clapton's Edge of Darkness and the latter from John Sykes). Again, not really something anybody could lay claim to.Delayman wrote:I used to get comments about "fluid" sounding playing, mainly because I used heaps of hammeron/pulloff but I sound clunky through no practice now.

I do have a sequence where I tap a diatonic scale with my right hand and play pentatonic with my left. I originally did it so I could tap in-key. However, it doesn't have that 'floating' thing to it probably precisely because it is in-key.

Re: Is there anything in your playing you can call your own?
I don’t know what any of that is.
People are sometimes surprised when I tuck the pick into my hand and go to fingerstyle really quickly. Is that normal?
Bonus round: I tend to really pop single notes out when I’m playing fingerstyle. Index and middle + thumb. Guess that’s the knopfler showing through.
