Battle of the virtuosos…guitar players….???

Okay it’s Monday and I’m bored already so it’s time for another “Battle of the bests…” This time, stictly rock guitar virtuoso soloists…

Yngwie Malmsteen – 1st Rising Force LP is a classic, good with Alcatrazz too.

Steve Vai – Love him with Frank Zappa, Alcatrazz & solo

Michael Angelo Batio – Great solo albums, and with Nitro, Holland, and C4

Tony MacAlpine – Both his solo stuff, and with MARS, Cab, Planet X, etc.

Eric Johnson – Check him when he was 16 with ‘Mariani’, and the 70′s band ‘Electromagnets’. His solo stuff really appealed to me also.

Gary Moore – Loved him with Skid Row (the Irish band) and his solo albums were brilliant.

For me comparing Robert Fripp to Steve Morse is like comparing an apple to an orange. I like each player very much…but I can’t answer a comparative question involving both, sorry.

Jeff Beck and Jason Becker? Again…too hard to make a decision here also. Both are entirely different styles, not to mention eras of rock. I love Speed Metal Symphony and Perpetual Burn…but I also love Rough & Ready, and Wired.
Each for different reasons.

I’ll leave you with a classic video of Frank Zappa and Steve Vai dueling out!
