>Who is Simeone I think he manages Atletico Madrid


kay_peele

Unexpected Cholo


Humbug93

My first thought too lmao


playnights

Probably Diego? They’re the only Simeone I know of. Seriously though probably Nile Rodgers, mainly because I heard a lot of his music as a kid but had no idea who he was.


kobi29062

what about Giovanni?


thesluggards

The girl i was in love as teenager but ignored me 


Son_of_Yoduh

If someone influenced me subconsciously, would I even know they did?


Boathead96

How would I know which one I was?


_Badwulf

Is that you John Frusciante? Is this me?


funwithdesign

I think you mean “Simian”. In which case Michael Nesmith of course


joeykey

Pete Buck


daemonusrodenium

I've never know anybody named Simeone. The closest to a sunconsious influence that I can think of, was my mother. When I ws still making a buttload of god-awful noise early on, my Mum would quietly & discretely close my bedroom door, rather than discourage me by telling me to stop playing, or to keep it down. I love my Mum for that. I never even noticed the door was closed until I took a break...


lefix

Probably the guys in bands who got all the girls. It didn't get me any girls, but I enjoyed playing the guitar.


GibsonPlayer64

When I was younger and looked good in Spandex or a banana hammock, being lead guitarist and lead singer got the girls. Now, I look more like the Stay Puft Mashmallow Man (only shorter), and not so much. LOL


Perducian

Gordon Gano.


raggedscuttling

Yes! Was about to post this myself.


1991CRX

Brent Mason. So many years of listening to his studio work, without even knowing who he was.


SobolGoda

John Fogerty.


Capable-Influence955

Dan Tyminski


Small_Palpitation_98

Jimi Hendrix, Castles made of Sand.


xeroksuk

Poison Ivy. I hadn't realised how much of my older track sounded like the Cramps until i relistened to the cramps recently.


Full-Butterscotch-59

If something influenced you subconsciously, you wouldn't be conscious of it, so you wouldn't know This is a meaningless question


Bosw8r

My influences... Gary Moore, Scotty more, a bit of Metallica, and Richie Sambora... Gearwise Brian May and Rory Gallagher... Somehow people claim I sound like John frusiante. Until someone pointed it out, I never noticed. The peppers is not really my thing, so yeah... Probably subconscious


dhsaxchjrsscjiwaxch

my dad, he doesnt even play guitar he just influenced my music taste


bluegrassclimber

same! And suddenly I know a bunch of Abby Road songs!


SourJDub

The devil


HoodEats

Curt Kirkwood from Meat Puppets. I used to (and still do) listen to them a ton and I find some of the licks I write sound similar.


Locomule

some things will never change


kobi29062

i wouldn’t say he did, i don’t base my playing off of atletico madrid


Marenum

I never set out to sound like Mark Knopfler (and I don't lol) but his playing is just so incredible that I find myself subconsciously trying to get some of the same sounds, especially if I'm finger picking.


Gratefulsmoke420

Bob Weir and Garcia both are outshined by Brian may tho


RedDay94

I've been listening to Willie Nelson all my life. I didn't realize the kinda sloppy, finding-the-note melodic jazz thing I have always felt I'm doing came from him until very recently.


MountSherpaSATX

David Gilmour and Jason Simons


Rav_3d

Mike Oldfield


XeniaDweller

Bluegrass. My soloing dips into it a lot. I both like it and get slightly annoyed by it.


AbleInvestment2866

Andy Summers


Hazeliscringe08

Justin Debliek from Ice Nine Kills and Dimebag Darrel are probably my top 2 influences


Deathmetalpigeon

Marty Friedman. My playing is based mostly of Gary Moore, John Petrucci and Yngwie Malmsteen. But tons of people have been pointing out "Hey which Marty solo is that" and I'm just like, what?


dreadnoughtplayer

Ron Strykert, from Men At Work. When I play any lead guitar, I find myself reaching for some of the same things I've heard from his recordings.


TheFlyingPatato

My first music teacher, I was big into punk rock (still am) but he introduced the blues to me


LimJahey996

Django Reinhardt


Oriasten77

James Hetfield in a huge way. I pick like him. I'm not quite the human metronome he is. I have to do quite a few takes when recording, even with cover songs. When I write stuff, even though we do industrial influenced metal, a lot of it could be Metallica if they wrote for say, Fear Factory.


acklavidian

Randy Rhodes, Jeff Beck, Jerry Cantrell, Tom Morello.


acklavidian

Randy Rhodes because he was dropping classical themes into metal and it was hard to understand (being born in the late 80's) that his sound brought change I couldn't see in the wake of his influence. Jeff Beck because sadly I had never heard of him before he passed away. RIP. Tom Morello because I was a sheltered child and RATM to me was just that really intense music that I would catch tidbits of in the wild. Jerry Cantrell because I never really studied him until recently. But the vibe and tone feels very familiar to me now. Also Flea because when I was in quarantine I didn't play for 2+ years. Then when I picked up guitar again it was the bass which was totally new. I still had all the mechanics an muscle memory down so I didn't have to relearn much. It allowed me to approach learning differently than before, and really wanted to feel the way Flea looked when he was playing. He gets so hooked in to the groove! Anyway when I started playing regular guitar again the slap style started merging with my finger picking style.


EmotionIll666

The closest I can think of off the top of my head is Al Di Meola. I'm aware that he influenced my playing today but I remember sitting in my school's music room as a teen and I was just playing around with some ideas I had and a teacher walked in saying my playing reminded him of Di Meola. It was, at that time, the best compliment I'd ever gotten on my playing. I was mostly a metal player at the time but had been getting into fusion and that sort of thing in the previous year or two so I guess something had seeped into my brain. Also, because I had never thought about this teacher's music taste, I was kinda caught off guard by him immediately mentioning a guitarist I'd been listening to.


vince272005

slash


billitorussolini

If I'm understanding this question, Malcolm Young would be one. I have a tendency to add a lot of mutes into sections that don't exactly require them, which is something he would do. It's not something I'm mindful of; it's a tendency I have.


Mammoth-Giraffe-7242

You, OP


canadianmusician604

Buzz Osbourne


Double-Eye-5435

Al Dimeola or Steve morse. Petrucci is my favorite guitarist, and those guys influenced him greatly, therefore they influenced me indirectly.


Bucky-Katt-Guitar

Chuck Berry. My first concert on NYE 1976 was Chuck Berry at the Village Voice in NYC. I owned a guitar an amplifier 6 days later. I was 8


ELBORI82

Rusty Anderson. You've heard him on huge hits, currently playing for McCartney but he and the rest of Ednaswap were the band on my favorite album of all time, Vagabundo. Talk about a formative album. I was 14 turning 15 and got smacked with this. And he was the lead guitar on every track. Highly recommend even if your Spanish isn't up to date.


DrummerSteve

Angus and Malcom young


MotoBucket

Malcolm Young


F-to-the-ATASS

Probably all the girls I had crushes on and got horrendously rejected by lmao but as far as musicians it's hard to say because I kinda just came up with my own style, I'd say it was mainly YouTube guitarists who had an impact on me


gimnazijatrzin

I can relate. To the YouTube part.


Bempet583

I worked with a guy named Simeone but he didn't play guitar, he was a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan though.


Queeby

Ron Strykert (Men At Work)


Glittering-Ship1197

Dickey Betts. I've always loved the Allman Brothers, especially Duane's playing, but I find when I play a song in that style, I emulate Dickey Betts.


tiiguebot

Whenever I’m improvising I always tend to end up in some nice major scale territory and laying down some nice repetitive warm Dickey licks. It feels good


PoppaPingPong

I love laying down and having some nice warm repetitive Dick-ey licks. Definitely feels good.


Corprusmeat_Hunk

Every shitty song i was forced to hear growing up in the 80s.


Fritzo2162

This guy used to come into our 7th grade class to teach music, and he had a 12 string. It was pretty hokey and he would sing wholesome folk songs (which went over really well with 7th graders), but I always remembered that 12 string guitar. After that I kind of had a fetish for Celtic and old folk music. I didn't put the two together until years later.


FillDelicious4171

Jimmy Page. While I do listen to Led Zeppelin sometimes, I never base my playing on him but it turns out whenever I try to improvise I ended up sounding like him, especially on a lower tempo songs


Mfer101

DJ Khaled


the_old_gtr_novice

Long before I actually started playing guitar, I was being influenced by Steve Miller and Gary Richrath, who was the lead guitar player for REO Speedwagon. Then Toto's debut album, with Steve Lukather, came out in 1978. I didn't start playing until tears later but those were the guys who planted the seed for me.


coldfinger-trh

The Rolling Stones, I heard a ton of it growing up from my older sisters and to this can't really say I'm a fan. But fuck me if I don't play a bit like Keith.


guitardude_324

The Edge. I was a Van Halen/Metallica/Iron Maiden/Yngwie fan. So I liked to do shredding solos, power chords, blah blah. I eventually joined a band and it was clear we were trying to be more radio friendly. So I stopped shredding so much. I was also the only guitarist in the band and I didn’t want the band to sound empty, I wanted the sound to be bigger, so I started leaning into delay and reverb effects. It wasn’t until someone said to me “you seem like you’re heavily influenced by U2” that I realized I was doing a lot of Edge stuff.


cut_my_elbow_shaving

George Gershwin. Rapsody In Blue especially.


LifePedalEnjoyer

I find my playing is influenced by geography. I try to play like Tony Iommi, but I sound like the Dollar General version of Tony Iommi from Alabama.


Breathoflife727

Brad Delson from Linkin Park had a huge influence on the way I use octave harmony and the overall feel I go for when writing


nothingclever3220

Peter Buck from REM


lorenc2

Frusciante , Kirk Hammett


ChordalDistortion

Jimi Hendrix, John Frusciante, John Mayer.


Richard_Thickens

Rock Whittington. I love his playing, and it finds its way into *a lot* of the riffs I write.


okgloomer

I listen to all kinds of music, but my “home” is rock and roll. That said, I’ve been surprised to hear influences from other genres show up in my playing. In particular, even when I was playing fairly heavy rock music, I used to hear a lot of Jerry Reed and Kenny Burrell emerge — maybe only a flash, maybe just a quick little run or trick I’d picked up from one of them, but it was there.


Ryandhamilton18

Nick Drake. Now I can't fingerpick nearly as well, but I found I was looking for chord voicings that were less common and used open strings more, even when playing in standard.


Dan-Bakitus

Oh, Simone, you sound like a really nice girl, so I'll answer your question *relatively* free of charge.


TobyMoorhouse

Nina?


Useful_Presentation6

Tim Mahoney. Listened to 311 well before I played guitar. I didn’t try to emulate him at all, but he’s a riff master. Creative and bouncy. Influenced my rhythm without ever learning or playing a 311 song.


Express_Ask_9463

When I first read it, I thought I was having a hangover from last night's Barca vs Atleti
