Playing to a BT - Poll competition

I first started playing music in my teens, playing in bands from the mid eighties to the mid nineties. Having a family has seen me put down the guitar, but since discovering software recording and the internet, I've found an outlet for creativity that doesn't require me to go anywhere, lug gear etc. I love all music but when it comes to guitar, my playing is strongly influenced by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Vai, Jimmy Hendrix and assorted jazz and blues. My aim at the moment is to build up music for a band that I wish to put together in the future - when the kids are older.
