Practicing and style
Eunson stated that he started to take practice very seriously at the age of 17 and claims to have consistently practiced 8 hours a day for 6 years until the age of 23. He would divide his practice hours into one or two hour slots in which he would focus on one concept. He has said that he still finds time to practice extensively, saying in 2016: "On a good day, I practice for 7 hours. On a bad day, I only get 4 hours in. But it usually averages out to around 6 hours a day, 6 out of 7 days a week. On Sundays, I take a break and only do 1 hour of maintenance practice. So that comes out to about 37 hours practice a week, and about 26 days of serious practice in a month." Eunson's playing style has been described as "angular but melodically focused", and he is known for playing a Fender Stratocaster guitar. He cites Pat Metheny, George Benson, Andy Summers, Jeff Beck, Ralph Towner, Keith Jarrett and Joe Henderson among his early influences.
