Herman Li is one if not the best Guitarist in metal today. :D

If you don't believe me check this video out. That guy Li's arpeggios are so sloppy and the finger tapping sequences are just plain woeful.
If Dragon Force is your favourite band don't watch this!

They have good ideas but the music is so processed that they simply cannot play it cleanly in a live situation. Doesn't mean they are bad musicians (they did have to compose the music in the first place), just not amazing guitarists (as far as execution and technical abilty goes).
