He relied on instructional books and videos like Doug Marks's Metal Method, Ted Greene's "Chord Chemistry" and "Modern Chord Progressions" books, REH instructional videos, as well as, Robben Ford's instructional DVD's. His early musical influences were guitarists Randy Rhoads, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore and Tony MacAlpine.〔 After only three years of playing he became a guitar teacher at the music store where he had purchased his first guitar. After high school Rusty went to the local college and studied Music Theory. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rusty Cooley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
