im in sorta same boat as starter dude, except i aint lookin for pedals.. im into metallica and that crap also.
just gotta guitar 'n' amp.

ive already asked this in some other thread, but its been a day and im anxious for an answer :)

what can/should i buy (guitar, amp, preamp, etc..) to get a wicked guitar sound like satriani has in both the rythm and lead in big bad moon. it sounds cool as, and i want a part of that coolness :)

please help.
