If your looking for a metal guitarist ..Yngwie is the man no doubt about it ! He started all this neo classical movement .All the others are just wannabes (including myself :D )You should really check out Al Dimeola if you really want to hear some woodshedding .He is without a doubt the fastest (and when I say fastest I mean you actually hear the notes crystal clean , not just alot of fast noise ) guitarist on the planet !! PERIOD !
