ok...im gonna have to disagree with you on one thing...Hes nothing like the "great kat" for god sakes she thinks shes beethoven reincarnated and i can see what you mean hes cocky and was really cocky back in the 80's but he was also much younger then..I think that anyone would have some cockyness once they got into the stardome or what not
No one in this forum said he invented "sweep picking"..IMHO i see that he pioneered it just like eddie did with tapping
