Is that Duane ? I need glasses. Thanks also to Smashmouth98, I'm always looking for other guitarist to check out, I don't want anybody's list of favorites to match mine. I'm always looking for that Gem, new guitarist or music.

All that metal, and no mention of Vai or Satriani?

I enjoy very little of Vai's stuff. Passion and Warfare and Alien love Secrets are the only albums I like. I like Satch, but for some reason his music sounds pretty generic to me. I think the guys I listed are truly unique and can all be spotted by just 1 or 2 notes of music.
