I agree.
The first shredder I saw was Yngwie, and he blew my mind.
He was so frikkin fast and used All the fretboard, then I started to listen to Vai and others.
After listening to them for a while I listened to Yngwie again and your right, he does use alot of the same scales over and over again.
He's a good guitarist, he made alot of people take guitar playing seriously, but he isn't the best I've heard.
And that's not my OPINION, it's a fact.
There are to many guitarists out there to pick just one.
One has to hear them all in order to say who is the best.
But in terms of who I like as a guitarist(and I'm not saying their the best of the best), I got to go with
Vai
Allan Holdsworth
and Bireli Lagrene.
And you can go ahead and call me blind AtomicMassUnit, cause I can't see a thing about Nirvana that is influencing.
They used about four chords in every song, and don't even get me started on the "lyrics".
