My style of playing is based in 80s rock/alternative rock, but now with a lot of funk, and some jazzy parts.
Who here plays similar music, and who are your guitar influences in those styles?
I've been a Scofield fan for some time, and have recently discovered some harder-edged fusion guitarists like Carl Filipiak. Lately I've been hooked on Dennis Chambers solo album Outbreak, which has 3 Scofield songs on it, as well as a few other good guitar parts, all based on some solid rhythm sections. As far as bands, I re-discovered Soulive who are a kickass fusion/R&B trio, though I can't remember the guitarist's name. Another one that stands out is Wayne Krantz - I don't know if he has solo material but I saw him with Steely Dan years ago and he was great.
