Are you kidding...they don't use arpeggio's as much as batio?? Petrucci is all about open-voiced arpeggios, same thing with vai, and satriani...the only reason you might not notice them is because they actually have good phrasing and don't just slam out every basic 6-string sweep over and over. Explain how I'm a hypocrite, and you aren't?? wow...hahahaha just wow. Also, Batio isn't the only person who can solo upside down, hell I can even do that. He's also not the only person to harmonize two guitars at once IE- click here
