Re: the REAL best shredders...
yeah, there's no Paul Gilbert, Chris Impelleteri, Marty Friedman, John Norum, Steve Stevens, George Lynch,etc, etc =) I was happy to see Tony McAlpine up there though..he doesn't get his due enough...
anywho, I went with steve morse...cause I think he's probably the most well rounded, out of all of them...acoustic, country, blues, rippin stuff, his instrumentals are great AND listenable (as much as I like Steve Vai, he's in outer space too much for me)...
in the end it was still a tough call...
