His favorite guitarists are Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Lee Ritenhour, Johnny Winter, Dickey Betts, Chet Atkins, George Benson, Steve Lukather, and Brent Mason, which is apparent while listening to his musical versatility.
Bing's tenor voice rings with a clear, easy-to-distinguish tone. He sings with a lush, sweet, and tasty style characterized by his edited note selection and wide vocal range.

His guitar solos are energetic, eclectic, and performed with the type of crafted precision that speaks to his listeners through inspired note selection, characterized by his great tone.
