He was influenced by guitarists such as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana and Wes Montgomery.
Schon's guitar style has been described as soulful, taking inspiration from 1960s-era soul singers such as Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, and blending it with blues runs similar to B. Schon also played in Azteca before moving on in 1973 to form Journey, a group he has continued to lead to the present day.
Schon has said he was asked by Eric Clapton to join Derek and the Dominos, but that he joined Santana instead, and performed on the album Santana III. Schon first picked up the guitar at "around the age of five." A quick learner, he joined Santana as a teenager at 15. Neal Joseph Schon was born at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, the son of Barbara and Matthew Schon. Schon was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame on August 23, 2013. He was a member of the rock band Santana before forming Journey, and was also an original member of Hardline. He is Journey's last original constant member, having participated in every album and tour to date. Neal Joseph Schon (born February 27, 1954) is an American rock guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist best known for his work with the bands Journey and Bad English. Overall, it's an excellent package, a welcome addition to Hammer's catalog.Neal Schon - Discography (1989-2015) The set is topped off with excellent liner notes by Jacquelyn Veinot that not only give an overview of Jan Hammer's work for the show, but also provide track-by-track annotation of all 44 songs here, detailing where they were used on the show, often with comments by Hammer himself. Although this music is newly recorded, it fits easily next to the original soundtrack albums, and is a wholly welcome addition to the Miami Vice and Jan Hammer canon alike. This includes expanded version of incidental music he used in many different episodes and, on occasion, composites of several different themes (such as 'Incoming,' which pieces together music from several boat chases). The second disc consists of material Jan Hammer wrote and recorded for the series during its entire run, all newly recorded by Hammer in 2001. Everything Hammer released on the Miami Vice soundtracks, along with assorted tracks from three other albums, is presented on the first disc. One Way's 2002 collection Miami Vice: The Complete Collection goes beyond simply reissuing the two original Miami Vice soundtrack albums: 1985's Miami Vice and 1986's Miami Vice II - instead, it concentrates on the music Jan Hammer created for the series.
