(MUSICIANS, POETS, ARTISTS AND ANY FORM EXPRESSION-ISTS)
WHO INSPIRED YOU TO PICK UP THAT INSTRUMENT, PAINTBRUSH, PENCIL,......ETC?
{BASS GUITAR}
TWO PEOPLE INSPIRED ME IN PICKING UP THE BASS. I LIKED THE SIX STRINGER BUT THE BASS WAS THE SEMI BACKBONE OF THE S.H.I.T.
CLIFF BURTON "BASS MESSIAH"- OL SCHOOL METALLICA
DUFF MCKAGAN "PICK MASTER" - GUNS IN FUK'N ROSES
WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS?.OR GIRLS?

[Guitar] Listening to the Beatles (esp. Sgt Pepper) inspired me to pick up a guitar... then listening to The Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgans' guitar mastery inspired me to do something with it, as in writing my own stuff.
[Keyboards] I'd have to say Ray Manzarek of the Doors is my main influence on keyboards, as well as Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead.

Geez, this is such a good topic.
Guitar - Kurt Cobain when I was twelve, Thurston and Lee from Sonic Youth when I was fourteen, and then a whole bunch since then. Greg Ginn, Jonny Greenwood (for effects), Kevin Shields, Billy Corgan (for his end-of-the-world fuzz sound), etc.

when i was little, my parents bought me one of those mini drumsets for christmas. ever since then i've been so into rythms and drums and percussion and stuff. but the people that inspired me to get serious about it at a later age were ron welty from the offspring, neal peart from rush (arguably the best ever), and this guy that i used to live down the road from who i used to watch play drums when i was little.
i also play a little bit of piano...i took lessons for like 4 months when i was 7 or 8 and ever since then i've been fooling around learning stuff and making shit up. nothing amazing, but its fun. i dont think i really had an inspiration to play piano except for my mom and sister who both play.
and i mess around on bass just for the hell of it. no inspiration there, either. but i like the rage bassist, know a lotta shit from their 1st album. he's creative. it seems like most of their songs are built around the bass line.
there's a million people that i could name who i admire for their skills at all of these instruments and inspire me to this day...but i guess i'm not going to cause it would take too long.

Greg Ginn, Jonny Greenwood (for effects), Kevin Shields, Billy Corgan (for his end-of-the-world fuzz sound), etc. Wow, Jehu, I"ve never heard anyone else besides myself associate Corgans' guitar licks with the end of the world... especially the stuff off of Pisces Iscariot... Corgan's not the best guitarist in the world, but he's better than a lot of people out there today... the guy could sit onstage and do 80's style unaccompanied guitar solos for hours if he wanted to... less is more, though... I'm also inspired by his production skills, knowing that you should only record songs that you can pull off live, but it's okay to embelish the studio versions with some massive overdubbing... the end of "Rocket" is around 20 guitar parts overdubbed... Corgans' probably one of the most influential guitarists, songwriters, and producers around. |

Wow... that's some awesome artwork... especially Nuclear Crucifixion... those sound effects on the Flash site tripped me out... yeah, that guy definitely lives on a diet of peyote wheaties with 'sugarcubes' to sweeten the pot... if he sees the world like that naturally, though, he's brilliant.

What are 12 string guitars for? 6 is enough. You couldn't use 12 without going into bass territory. Unless of course you needed different tuning for certain parts of a song - then it would be very helpful.
Can anyone verify for me if this is so, or if not, tell me why they exist?

I guess I am kinda a$$backwards cuz I started getting inspiration After I started playing guitar.. I didnt even realize how great an instrument it was until I tuned out the vocals,bass,drums,etc and just listened to the guitar parts..Bands like atdi, amen, rush, deftones, pink floyd, nirvana,sparta, soad are some of my favorites.. I have only been playing 7 months so I have a long road ahead of me but I dont mind practicing every day (except this week, reeeal bad week for me ugh)...

when i was a little kid i was into country, so i wanted to be garth brooks, but my parents wouldnt buy me an acoustic guitar. i eventually wised up and started liking good music. the band that influenced me to start playing guitar and eventually join a band was tool, particularly adam jones by the way im new here  |

I think the main reason for 12 stringers was to add more pitches to acoustic guitar. The other six strings are an octave higher, I think... they're great to play, but a bitch to tune
