It's one thing that every guitarist wants to know about – Who influences the guys who influence you?
In an interview with Dunlop TV, John Petrucci has spoken of the influences around him as a 12-year-old beginner guitarist.
"For me it was Steve Morse... It was funny, I started getting into Zeppelin, Rush, ACDC, Sabbath and stuff like that, and one of my friend's friends was like "Dude you got to check this out", and it was [Dixie] Dregs. I fell in love with the way he plays." Said Petrucci.
The Dream Theater guitarist goes on to discuss his choice of plectrums (unsurprisingly, as it is a Dunlop interview), and how important they are to his tone.
