The point I made about Vai (and this is all IMHO), is that a lot of times he'll astound you with speed, and at the same time dazzle you with his note choice, and it's like (to me at least), "Damn, he couldn't have picked better notes to play there". So I can appreciate it at a guitar level as well as at a musical level. I think sets him apart from other shredders.
