Try and find some videos of Buckethead playing solo. He's an amazing guitarist who is extremely underrated. He's up there with some of the top shredders. He plays some solos with eight to nine finger tapping solos. He mostly plays a heavy metal shredding stlye but he has his moments where he plays something so unbelievably beautiful you don't believe it comes from a guitar. If you want more melodic playing check out his Electric Tears cd. His newest release is more of a blues type album. He doesn't get a lot of credit because some of his cd's have random voice-overs from people and it just seems kind of weird. If you get past that though you'll love it. Check out his Cukoo Clocks From Hell cd for his faster solos and tapping.
