ah, i believe you are right, yngwie is not a classical musician. i merely meant that he had heavy classical influences in his playing as he does say that himself. i just went to a vai concert last night however, and i think that vai is by far more versatile then either yngwie or batio. but i guess that is just a personal preference as vai does always sound like himself which i do not think is exactly a bad thing...... it is good to have your own voice on guitar.
