who is better , an unanswerable question , music serves but one purpose and that is to put a smile on your face , you can take the best of shredders , and yes it is impressive but still nothing gets to me like a simple solo , and i mean something as simple as say the solo on the Beatles I'll Follow the Sun ,,, it get me every time , even after all these years ,, so just find what puts a smile on your face , and dont dwell on the small stuff , but yes strive to be better , but dont let it take the fun out of what music is intended to do , make you smile ,,,,, anyway , that my take on this , have fun picking , Anne
