I'm having a hard time seeing much influnce right now in playing. I bought a video on playing African Fingerstyle Guitar (from Stefan Grosman's Guitar Workshop) hoping that would influnce my playing. I haven't gone far though. I've tried to take in some Brownie McGhee, but I can never figure out what he's doing! I've also tried to take some influnce from Jr. Walker (okay, so he plays Saxaphone. He's still a great musicain).

My teacher has had a big influnce on my playing (especially my classical playing). He taught me to think musicly and to think about two parts (bass and melody). Who knows what I'll come up with in my playing? It should be exciting to find out!
