But i'd rather sound like clapton or vai, not actually mimicing them, but if i could steal someone's talent and put in a ball and use it at my own dicresion it would be those to guys.

I sortof agree with you in that yngwie is a graet guitarist but hasnt got as much soul behind his play as Clapton for example but I dont agree with your views about Vai. I think Vai is a smashing player aswell but Id lump him in the same basket as malmsteen perhaps along with a couple of them fish sandwiches you like so much. I could listen to both all day but I could listen to Claptn for the rest of my life if you know what I mean. Yeah Clapton is God.
