steve vai was in Kyiv last month i think, giving a master class. witnesses report he would also talk to people before and after the show, and seemed a nice guy. and how funny, the audience actually were a dicks, asking idiotic and obvious questions.

john 5 is fun guy. he's a shredder.

Theres plenty of arrogant dicks out there that can barely play, at least Malmsteen has something to be big headed about.
Gilbert seems the most approachable of the bunch though. I dont know if i would class John 5 as a shredder.

i'm not into john 5's music, but to me he's at least fun to watch. i even listened to some of his albums few times.
also, he's got incredible collection of teles.

he dosent give off the country guitar player look at all but his teles are nice ... not into the john 5 line of instruments

yep, he can play but for whatever reasons he does nothing for me - just my view.

favourite is still paul gilbert by a long shot but...

string skipping @ 2:48 - f*cking impossible...

Fran · Post by **Fran** » Fri Nov 28, 2008 6:03 pm

Whats going on with his sound? Its awfull. Good player though. This Gilbert Racer X tune is one of my favourates...

Fran · Post by **Fran** » Fri Nov 28, 2008 6:13 pm

This is one of the songs were Malmsteen uses a lot of stuff i taught him. Lol.
I like this one coz he's using a shit amp and it sounds raw, still fucking amazing..

Paul Gilbert melts my face and I always enjoy it.

Post by **Mike** » Fri Nov 28, 2008 7:55 pm

I'm realising now why people on youtube used to call me "Like a Fat Paul Gilbert who can't play", he looks like me when I had short hair.

Anyway he comes across as a really nice guy. He uses Vintage/Modern amps these days I believe.
