You may now quote my post and say: "Yes, that is 100% correct."

Hmmm....
Young John Petrucci > Paul Gilbert > Current John Petrucci











I will surely die by the hands of John Petrucci for this comment.
Perhaps this very night.

Joe Satriani?

For sheer technique and skill, I'd have to give it to Allan Holdsworth.

For shear pleasure(which is what music is)

It`s not about pleasure here Dave

For technical brilliance, Racer X era Paul Gilbert.... Petrucci isn`t on that technical level at all. That said, he`s a much better musician than Gilbert, but that`s not what this thread is about

But I prefer old Yngwie, that`s shredding with an attitude that changed the world
