My answer to this question, and i've done a lot of thinking since this post started, is that while i would like think rhoads is better, however, as guitarists i would have to say they're pretty equal. HOWEVER, as musicians, i would have to say Rhoads because of all his knowlegde about music theory, etc.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to compare guitarists especially one's with dfferent styles, and since every guitarist has a different style, it's nearly impossible.

steve vai can smoke both of them at the same time!!!!!!!!! JACK7
