LOL . . . that's awesome. You actually played it, or you had it playing from the disc?

Ever since I discovered Satch (about 5 years ago) I've been a fan. His new albums (Crystal Planet and EOC) were great, and I hope he keeps them coming. When I listen to Satch, I find myself saying "Wow, that sounded cool." Whereas with Vai, more often than not, I say "Wow, how did he do that??" Vai is about more technical, over the top showmanship (like that thing he does with the whammy bar), but Satch is about composition and melody. This is why Satch will always be the better musician.
