The extent of Andys influence is impossible to list, but hard driving Rock "N" Roll is his favorite. He also likes blues and jazz standards like Billy Holiday and Judy Garland.

"I’ve been influenced by so many; some of my hero’s are George Harrison, Keith Richards, Mick Mars, Gary Moore, Jeff Beck, and Jimi Hendrix. They understand the importance of playing strong rhythm’s as well as lead guitar to be successful."
