I should have taken a hike but here goes...

As you have classical background I suggest taking some Yngwie Malmsteen tabs.

The reason being that his licks are mostly classical stuff. Baroque I think. You probably know all the runs he's doing cause you probably did them on the piano.

That way you'll have an advantage. And if you wanted speed, well his not too bad.... faster than a lot of guitar player around.

Just watch out for something. You won't be as good on guitar as you are on piano. At least not for a while. Never forget that it's another instrument. Even if you have all the talent in the world, it's going to take some time. Just don't loose your motivation and you should be fine.

Satriani, and Vai, and Petrucci after a year and half. No kidding you feel lost. I picked up Satriani after 4 years and I'm not going to talk about Petrucci. Your trying on the major league after only a year and half at the bat. :)
