Vai, Satch, Steve Morse,early Van Halen, the Hellecasters and Eric Johnson apart, rock's not really my thing so I dont recognise a lot of these names that keep cropping up. Ive seen their names in guitar mags but I tend to gloss over em. still I'm open minded so I'm happy to give em a listen. problem is I dont have a computer at home so no chance of downloading MP3's at work. so comparing em with Eddie, Satch & Vai how do they rate and compare.
