Van halens fair warning is definately in my top 10. The intro to mean streets is incredible.
EVH and Hendrix both from a different planet.
1- Pink Floyd - Animals
2- Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys
3- Thin Lizzy - Vagabonds Of The Western World
4- Beatles - White album
5- Iron Maiden - Somewhere in time
6- Jeff Beck - Blow by blow
7- Deep Purple - Fireball
8- Dire Straits - Dire Straits
9- Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I
10-David Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World
I LOVE the "White Album". That was the one that got me into The Beatles.
You forgot EVH!
Here are my top 10: 1) Somewhere In Time, 2) Scenes From a Memory, 3) Operation Mindcrime, 4) The Wall, 5) Led Zepplin BBC Sessions, 6) Hemispheres, 7) Master of Reality, 8) 10 000 Days, 9) Bloody Kisses, 10) ACDC Live!
1. Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced
2. Van Halen- Van Halen 1
3.Rory Gallagher - Rory Gallagher
4. Lee Ritenour - Captain Fingers
5. Santana - Moonflower
6. Vivian Campbell ( Dio ) - Holy Diver
7.Gary Moore- Corridors of Power
8. Ritchie Blackmoore - Deep Purple Made in Japan
9. Brad Gillis ( Ozzy Osbourne ) - Speak of the Devil
10. Jeff Beck - There and back
All of these albums made me want to pick up and put down my guitar at the same time. I have to give props to Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, Frank Zappa and too many more to mention. It is very hard to get a list narrowed to 10 but this is the best I can do for now, probably change tomorrow lol.
Kiss Alive 2 was in my collection in 79. The non live song Rocket Ride is one I remember as being a massive amazing Ace solo..and sure you played it. Many people don't understand how important Ace is in the guitar world, he influenced many bands and players. In Oz Kiss Alive 2, Double Platinum and Love Gun were all in the record stores just prior to the very different album Dynasty that was a MASSIVE album in Oz even though people in the USA bag it. In shops here today you will still hear I Was Made For Loving You. The guitar in Jeff Wayne War Of The Worlds - Thunderchild was for me an awakening in 1978 after an ABBA love affair. The album I often go back to is not really guitar. Beach Boys Pet Sounds.
Dude welcome back, love the channel please keep the videos coming.
Wow..awesome playing dude!I love your tone you got going on and your sound is amazing...nice set up man!
Very nice list steve & great playing of stuff with them !! :)
Amazing list. Thanks for sharing with us.

What a bad ass top 10 man you nailed it awesome brother rock on! Much love great video as always I enjoyed that thank you brother Pixx!
A great list Steve...all classics! and yep I agree Bon Scott for me too...nice to have ya back dood :)
Hi Steve, awesome top 10 video! Was nice to hear about your influences. Some of them were pretty easy to figure out, others -like PF- more unexpected. Rock on!
EVH all the way. He was doing stuff no one ever heard before. And it wasn't just the flashy solos. It was the song writing. The riffs. The chord changes. The dynamics. The sound. The guitar. Everything was different.
Love the videos man, and you're a great player with great feel and a wicked vibrato, by the way! I love your musical choices here as well.
I'm of a similar age and have a lot of the same influences, although I didn't actually start playing until the early eighties. In hindsight, I wish I'd started playing earlier!
dang dude such a great top 10 . it wasn't easy picking was it :p
very enjoyable to listen to with some nice insights to each album
your a delight to watch and i enjoy watching you play p.l youre such a wonderful player, (:
KEEP EM COMING,,
Love your stuff Steve. ;)
We're lucky we came up when we did Steve that's some heck of a list.Play ball !!
The sad thing about being a teen in the 2000's was the idea of the album was gone. It was more about downloading a single song (probably from Napster) apposed to listening to an album so this list is hard for me to do.
Get a USB vinyl deck, go to HMV, eBay or similar and buy some vinyl. Enjoy! Some albums will captivate, others will have highs and lows. You're human so you can't help what speaks to you and what doesn't. But I know that albums that I can listen to all the way through are bands that I would name in my top 10.
I was a teen in the 2000s too brah, and I bought loads of albums....
I have like 30 vinyl records (including) van halen 1, white lion Pride, stars record, Yngwie malmsteens rising force eclipse and a special edition live and i am 15
Ah yes the in_the_end_linkin_park.mp3
Nice list man! Thanks for the nomination, this will be fun :D
I really enjoyed this. I am right there with you - I agree with 7 out of ten of those groups.
Billy Gibbons was doing pinch harmonics before '77 which is why EVH does alot of pinch harmonics.
Amazing video and topic, being born myself in 1971 I can relate to almost everything except taking out a few and adding a few like WASP and Dokken and Maiden, what a great time to be a kid!!! Thanks for posting this!!!
Seriously another ckass video mate bludy love it
Hard to argue with your list!!
Im gonna do a top 10 instead:
10)Wish you where here - Pink Floyd
9)The wall - Pink Floyd
8) Live at the boston tea party part 3 - Fleetwood Mac
7) In Step - Stevie Ray Vaughan
6)Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix
5)Aja - Steely Dan
4)Djantology - Django Reinhardt
3)Awake - Dream Theater
2) Image And Words - Dream Theater
1)Weightless- Animals as Leaders
Well done. I anxiously awaiting the Van Halen concert review from 1984 video!
Great playing Steve.
Great video, thank you. Very interesting listening to what I guess you would call your influences.
Also the comment on Van Halen and his use of those diads and triads is so true... he not only wrote the book for 80s guitar soloing, but rhythm playing too!
As a massive Van Halen fan id love to see you talk about that concert! I wasnt born until 15 years ago so I couldnt see them back then, it would be awesome hearing what it was like from a fans perspective.
In no order, These albums influenced my playing the most. Led Zep IV , Texas Flood - SRV , Europa (compilation) - Santana , The best of Roy Buchanan , Smash Hits - Jimi Hendrix ( I know, I know but it just happened to be my introduction to Jimi ) , Back in Black - AC/DC , Blizzard of Ozz - Ozzy Osbourne , Surfing with the Alien - Joe Satriani , Passion and Warfare - Steve Vai & Apetite for Destruction - Guns N Roses.
Of course it was hard to visualize, not only was it unheard of but we didn't have video back then, haha!! Great list! Loved the reminisce on the Gilmour comment as I had a similar thing happen. I walked off the stage after jamming out on cocaine (the song folks), and my brother said "nice soloing Clapton" and it floored me.
I'm a bass player and my top ten are…
1- Diserieli Gears- Cream
2- Dark side of the moon- Pink Floyd
3- Are you experienced- Jimi Hendrix
4- Aqualung- Jethro Tull
5- Moving pictures- Rush
6- Eat a peach- Allman Brothers
7- Blind Faith- Blind Faith
8- Layla and other assorted love songs- Derek and the Dominos
9- Untiled Album- Led Zeppelin
10- Joes Garage- Frank Zappa
Met Vivian a Heathrow Airport for 10 mins in 1990 when I was 20, just before he got in Def Lep
Probably the only famous musician I ever got to chat with!
His advice was stop twiddling and write songs
Did I take his advice, yes for about 5 years and got back into twiddling once I realized I hated being in bands!
So sad to hear about his health issues!
Ride The Lightning, Queen, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits and Surfing got me into guitar
My top most influential to my guitar playing
10. Derek and the Dominos live at the Filmore
9.Edgar Winter White Trash Roadwork with Rick Derringer
8. Gary Moore Still got the blues
7. Marshall Tucker Band 1rst album (Toy Caldwell)
6. Skynyrd Pronounced
5. SRV Texas Flood
4. ZZ Top Fandango
3. Jimi Hendrix Are you experinced (we agree)
2. Johnny Winter And Live
1. Allman Brothers Live at the Filmore
I just noticed 4 of those guys are from Texas.
coll video as usual!
If I have to do a top ten I will have to put Blackmore somewhere. Huge influence for me. And there are so many more... thanks
My #1 album that influenced my guitar playing is Mind's Eye by Vinnie Moore.
I can remember that floppy record single in Guitar Player magazine, of The Attitude Song by Steve Vai ! We were all so blown away in high school by that song. We recorded it to cassette and played it in the car for weeks, some days we'd sit silently decoding the song, other times wed laugh at how off the wall his playing was, and still other times wed just rock out the whole way to school. What great days those were...
I was influenced by EVH's rhythmic/chordal work and his guitar philosophy, which included: THE PICKUP SELECTOR IS YOUR TONE CONTROL And PLAY ALL TWELVE NOTES; IF YOU HIT WHAT SEEMS LIKE A WRONG NOTE SLIDE UP OR DOWN ONE FRET AND YOU'RE FINE. Great advice.
1) trixter - hear 2) winger - winger 3) philip sayce - peace machine 4) red hot chili peppers - blood sugar sex magik 5) gun - swagger 6) cinderella - gold 7) aerosmith - pump 8) lynch mob - wicked sensation 9) joe bonamassa - driving towards the daylight 10) steve vai - passion and warfare
Swagger by Gun is a really great record.
Ace Frehley only played on Rocket Ride on side four, he sent the tapes from his home in Conn. Bob Kulick played everything else, and Paul did all the guitars on Anyway You Want It. The re-release of Alive ll confirms this.
Ah sorry you beat me to it, yep mostly Bob K on Alive II
My biggest influence for playing guitar is Randy Rhoads. His style of playing was, and still is, EPIC!
And after that Allen Collins, David Gilmour and Duane Allman.
Gilmour 100%! Favorite guitar player!!
Randy @ Gilmour still EPIC no matters what anybody says! :-)
Allen
Uhh actually Eddie was doing tapping before Alive ll and Alive ll came out on 77'. KISS was in LA in 76'at the Starwood when Gene approached Van Halen and later flew them to NY to audition for Bill Aucoin and Ace saw Ed tap and this was 76' before KISS went to on the 1st Japanese tour so technically Ace did that tapping part from the Shock Me solo because he saw Ed do it at the audition for Bill Aucoin in 76'.
Raf San Look up a UA-cam video called "Eddie Van Halen did NOT invent tapping!! ...."
kdrake777 EVH never claimed to invent it, but he definitely popularized it (classical and flamenco guitarists had been doing it for decades)
yeah you see though, Ace Frehley also did it in 1975 on the midnight special on the song She. The solo after the song he does tapping. A year before Van Halen came along with Gene.
Back in the late 60s guitarists were talking about Harvey Mandel and his tapping on the album CHRISTO REDENTUR. EVH took it a step further.
Yep
I love your playing, dude! At least five of your faves are in my top ten! I have Diary of a Madman in place of Blizzard. Meatloaf Bat out of Hell, and pure heaviness is the Plasmatics, Coup d'etat! Such a tour d'force! Too bad you are not in Memphis. I'd love to record some originals with you!
Superb list. For me Back in Black just wins out over Highway and as a Brit I'd probably include some Maiden. Great selection, though. Nice to see Viv Campbell getting his dues.
GREAT VIDEO!!
Fun to hear the influences and why. And something I hadn't thought about, that Quiet Riot with their Slade remakes is what really broke metal into the mainstream rock radio. I remember they were on the TV show Solid Gold. LOL, never saw a metal band on there before.
This was hard, I had to really consider what influenced my playing and not just slap together "my favorite" albums. If I did that, there would be a massive difference.
11. Funkadelic - Maggot Brain --- I know I'm cheating, but give me a break. Consider this a bonus. I'm less of a shredder when I solo nowadays, and more of a groove guy. The opening solo, 'Maggot Brain', is my favorite solo of all time. The funky and atmospheric nature of that track is a big influence on how I like to shred.
10. Nazareth - Hair of the Dog --- a lot of my early influence was classic hard rock, and the riff on Hair of the Dog is one of the things that made me want to pick up a guitar in the first place.
9. Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark --- My first exposure to black metal, I never even considered that guitar could be used for more than just rhythm, riffs, and showing off. Bathory proved guitar could be part of a greater atmosphere.
8. Motorhead - Ace of Spades --- One of my first exposures to heavier music. It may not compare to the Cannibal Corpse I would be listening to only a scant few months later, but strumming along to this album gave me an appreciation for heavier, crunchier sounds.
7. Van Halen - I --- Eruption blew my mind, and Eddie's whole play style, what he was doing, was so new and different from what I had been hearing before it. Mountain, Deep Purple... it was all blown out the water. It was interesting, because growing up I mainly took suggestions from my dad and used my chore allowance to buy cassettes from the mall... and when my dad suggested Van Halen, it was like a whole new world of guitar possibility opened. Sure, I had heard Jump and stuff on the radio, but I never really absorbed how intricately Eddie played until I played this over and over.
6. Misfits - Walk Among Us --- I had a huge punk phase, and it stemmed ENTIRELY due to a love of Misfits. The riffs are betrayed by a perceived sense of simplicity. There is so much raw power in those horror themed tracks, you really just have to appreciate how Doyle and Danzig could really crunch into their strings.
5. Slayer- Reign in Blood --- If Eddie blew my mind with his solos, imagine how blown away I was when my uncle handed me my first thrash album. The absolute speed and ferocity of their playing was something I couldn't believe existed, and yet when they ripped into the solo portion of Angel of Death, I was floored.
4. Mastodon - Leviathan --- I was a young teen when this came out... 14, actually... and I was pretty well exposed to heavy metal by this point. In fact, I was a young aficionado. I was even already a fan of Remission, their previous album to this one. But when Leviathan dropped, everything changed. There was such a fantastic and odd blending of style, sounds, and techniques used that I had never thought to even consider, and just proved you really had to just open your mind and let the guitar take you where it wants to go. Changing tempos, changing techniques on the fly... remember in Megalodon when there's suddenly a country/southern rock flavored riff to break up your expectation, right before slamming into a speedy chug? Fuck yeah.
3. Led Zeppelin - IV --- Black Dog. The opening song pulled me right in, and I was entranced by Jimmy's riffs. This was my first Zep album, due to it's fame/notoriety. The solo on Stairway is classic, and Jimmy can really rip. I didn't think guitar would ever sound cooler. It still doesn't.
2. Sleep - Holy Mountain --- As I got older, into my early 20's, I kind of chilled out. I was less into hardcore punk, death metal, and less into shredding. In a way I was coming full circle back to my roots with crunchy riffs and fuzz boxes. Sabbath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Mountain, Nazareth... I was getting more into groovy, crunchy riffs than finger tapping, pinch harmonics, or tremolo picking. I then remembered there was bands in the 90s who got into this groove, Sleep and Kyuss foremost among them. The opening riff on this album, with Dragonaut, draws you right back into the-- pardon the pun-- sleepiness and mind warping existentialism of a good groove. Weed not necessary, though it helps. If I can sound one-fifth as good as Matt Pike ever did, I'll be well off.
1. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality --- Again, my early influence was hard rock. Black Sabbath was my favorite, and despite everyone else seeming to prefer Paranoid, I found my rock soul in tracks like Sweet Leaf and Children of the Grave. Iommi pioneered doom metal on this album, after pioneering metal in the first place back on the first album. The groove, the crunchy tone and foreboding drawl to his tone... this is where I started, and this is where I came back to, full stop.
THE WALL BABY!!!!!! I FREAKIN LOVED THE YOUNG LUST RIFF!! ROCK THE HELL ON STEVE!
Awesome video Steve kiss did it for me Ace was the man then came everything else ✌️great playing
10. Metallica- Metallica (Black Album)
9. Kiss- Dynasty
8. Ozzy Osbourne- Diary of a Madman
7.Aerosmith- Rocks
6. Led Zeppelin- Houses of the Holy
5. Jimi Hendrix- Are You Experienced?
4. Guns N Roses- Appetite for Destruction
3.Whitesnake- Whitesnake (1987)
2.Lynch Mob- Wicked Sensation
1. Van Halen- 1984
I can't believe you didn't pick RUSH the guitar and changes on the albums were un heard of then.
Listening to you mention the albums,reminded me of just how old I've become! LOL!! I'm sitting here thinking of my top 10 most influential guitar albums,and it all starts with Beatlemania,I was 11 years old when that started,then I move on to Fresh Cream in 67,and Jimi Hendrix about the same time.Shortly after that comes Leslie West,and then Ritchie Blackmore,and then Michael Schenker,and I admired Eddy for what he was playing,but it was never my style,look at the people who were teaching me up to that point,there was no way that I could ever play the stuff Van Halen did. Everything that I heard after that point,was all the same stuff I had heard 20 years earlier,just played in a different way.
Your number one is my number one, rock on man!!! VH is number 1!
I had the Kiss Alive II album in 77. Love the way it folded out. It had some awesome pictures. And I finally got to see them live.
Great site PixxyLixx - love the video's - how I have fond memories of hearing VH too for the first time , here in the UK wow !!! Please do the video on your VH 1984' concerts - if you haven't already ( I 've just found and subscribed to you r site ) so you have have done it ??? Keep up the great work .
Good list, Steve! I saw AC/DC in '79 just before Bon died and I'm a Bon guy to.
Great video, thanks for sharing your influences. I'm from the UK and a couple of years older than you, but most of your choices chime with me. Great to hear 'Young Lust' again from 'The Wall' it's hardly ever played these days; I have to say that as I get older, my admiration for Dave Gilmour continues to grow. I agree with Eddie at no. 1, but for me Ritchie Blackmore would be in there somewhere. I remember picking up a Deep Purple compilation '24-carat Purple' when I was 15, and Ritchie's playing brought rock and classical together for me before Randy Rhoads, whom I also admire. I'm pretty certain that Michael Schenker with UFO on 'Obsession' would edge out Ace Frehley. :)
I sometimes find inspiration in places others probably wouldn't, but here goes. My most influential albums on my playing are:
1. In Loving Memory by Big Wreck
2. Revolver by The Beatles
3. Timepieces by Eric Clapton
4. Layla by Derik and the Dominoes
5.Nevermind by Nirvana
6. Blur by Blur
7. The White Album by The Beatles
8. Shapeshifter by Marcy Playground
9. De Stijl by The White Stripes
10. Collective Soul by Collective Soul
Honorable mentions: Van Halen by Van Halen, The Pleasure and the Greed by Big Wreck, Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix, Mexican Money by Lee Roy Parnell
No Maiden Damn
Great video. You were 2 for 10. I'll give you Van Halen and The Wall. My other 8 are:
The Who - Who are You
Rush - Moving Pictures
BeBop Deluxe - Live from the Air Age
Jethro Tull - Crest of Knave
Styx - The Grant Illusion
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Santana - Zebop
Jeff Back - Blow by Blow
Yes, there is a pattern here. More classic power chord type rock. I love other bands but these who I draw my influences from.
Completely surprised by your number 1, and it is of course the right choice. In hindsight it influenced my life as well. Unfortunately my playing still sucked. Keep making "your story" videos. Bravo
2112 would have to be in my top 10 as well as Hell Bent For Leather. But that list is strong. Enjoy your videos very much. We are about the same age and you are bringing back fond memories of my youth. Thanks.
Thanks! That was fun.
Cool video. It's interesting to me the way you situate Hendrix in the heavy metal tradition. Personally I would tend to think of Hendrix in terms of the blues tradition. But reflecting on this was good for me. Now that I've gotten so into Stevie Ray Vaughn, it's honestly hard for me to take Van Halen seriously. And, I don't like that, I would like to take it seriously as music again. Guess I'll just have to listen to it some more. Oh darn.
Spot on, especially with VH1.
After Jimmy Page: Brian May, Mark Knopfler, Jeff Beck, Robin Trower, David Gilmour, Peter Frampton, Martin Barre, Steve Howe, Paul Kossoff, Andy Summers, Pete Townshend (they all happen to be Brits), Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher (two Irish).
I thoroughly enjoyed this vid. you sir are not just another pretty face, you play well my friend. thank you for Hendrix and Gilmore.
These albums influenced me:
1 - Led Zeppelin IV
2 - Deep Purple - Made In Japen
3 - Johnny Winter - Still Alive and Well
4 - The Beatles - Rubber Soul
5 - Eddie Van Halen - Van Halen
6 - Kiss - the first Alive Album
7 - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
8 - Judas Priest - Sin After Sin
9 - Humble Pie - Rockin the Filmore
10 - Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Souls
Bonus - Thin Lizzy - Greatest Hits

I have never heard LZ, Jimi Hendrix and especially Pink Floyd with so much distortion. Great video!
I’m a year younger than you and totally relate to your Top 10! Own a 78 Cherry Sunburst LP-78 Marshall JMP head and 76 Gibson Grabber bass( black of course) so the Kiss influence lingers and yeah, Shock Me and Eruption just blew my mind!! Cool video!!

Black Sabbath Volume 4/ 10. Scorpions Virgin Killer. I love a lot more but these got me playing in the 1st place! Love the vids brother. Keep em coming! Cheers from Chicago!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.

AC/DC - Let There Be Rock. Came out in '77 and features the most impressive guitar playing in my opinion.
Please give us the details on the two 1984 tour shows! I love your channel!
Completely agree on your number 1
Your list is so spot on!!! I was born in 68 as I think you were. And yea, KISS ALIVE AND KISS ALIVE II were like WTF, same with ZEP and Black Sabbath. Good list bro!!
Oh, and the first time I heard Eddy do Spanish fly I was like HOW THE EFF!!!
Nice Choices ... I would choose a lot of those same albums.
In no order.... I don't know how much they influenced my playing but these were the albums that made me want to be a guitar player
Kiss Alive 2
Kansas - Point of know return
Frampton comes alive
The Wall
Dark Side Of The Moon
Queen - News of the World
Van Halen 1
Led Zep 1
Boston 1
Blizzard of Oz
A lot of great Music listed here! I enjoyed looking over all your lists. Below is mine!
10) Foghat Energized
9) Boston
8) Sweet Desolation Boulevard
7) Thin Lizzy Jail Break
6) Aerosmith Get Your Wings
5) Gary Moore G-Force
4) Led Zeppelin 1 and 4
3) Doobie Bros Captain and Me
2) Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon
1) Jimi Hendrix Electric Lady land
Michael King Desolation blvd is such a great hard rock/metal album it's often forgotten.Every song on that album is smokin. Good selection on the rest too.
Totally agree on number one! It's definitely their best album. Every song on it is centered around Eddie's crazy playing and awesome tone. I always thought that album was the ultimate lesson in rock guitar!
I probably couldn't make a top 10 right now but Appetite For Destruction would be there, Back In Black, Are You Experienced?, Van Halen 1, Holy Diver, Metallica's Black album, Billzard Of Oz and really the whole Blues genre, especially Gary Moore and BB King but i'd really have to sit down and think about it
Slash seems like a good guy, but I never got all the hype over G&R when they first came out, and i REALLY don't get the current re-popular super hype over them today. You can tell in current interviews with slash, he don't get it either lol
I went to see Black Sabbath at Sheffield City Hall UK in May 1978. The support was Van Halen and we were late leaving the pub and walked in half way through VH's set. I realised then that we'd missed something special as they were miles better than Sabbath. Ozzy couldn't hit a note on key for most of their set. Great vid and playing as usual Steve.
Regards
What a sound man.
I'm so glad you included "We Sold Our Soul For Rock and Roll" that really got me going on the guitar, that album taught me the pentatonic scale from which there is no return! \m/ The Wall made a big dent too. EVH came later for me and that the FIRST time went back to the drawing board!
Yoo whats up dude ?cheers from sweden
Don't have 10 right now but here it is: 1)Megadeth-Rust in Peace 2)Metallica-Ride the Lightning 3)Pestilence-Consuming Impulse 4)Cynic-Focus 5)Rainbow-Rising 6)Camel-Moonmadness 7)Black Sabbath-Master of Reality
Love Pdxguitatfreak
I wore out my KISS albums! And Dio with Vivian Campbell (Holy Diver, Last in Line), Dio with Sabbath (Heaven and Hell, obviously). Not that I don't love Ozzy Sabbath. Iron Maiden (Piece of Mind), and Rush (Moving Pictures and older), Ozzy with Randy (Diary and Blizzard) Judas Priest (Sad Wings of Destiny). Although I owned many AC/DC albums, absolutely agree on the Bon Scott thing. Dirty Deeds being my favorite album. Oh, the guitar on Ride On! I was probably most influenced by Alex Lifeson and Randy, and Tony. Oh, not to exclude James Marshall Hendrix, I wore out the JHE Are You Experienced album too.
If you ever find yourself in Oklahoma, I am certain we can jam on the same page.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
what effects are you using for your sound? I love it!!
