I think just about any guitar player whose music I liked has influenced me. I have learned from so many people it's too long a list to even write down.
My tastes are fairly eclectic -- I learned from Peter, Paul & Mary; I learned from the Beatles. I learned from Simon & Garfunkel; I learned from the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash. I learned from John Denver, Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor -- I learned from Eric Johnson, Andy Timmons, Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton. I learned from Martin Taylor and Tommy Emmanuel.
The lists goes on and on for me.
