The strongest part of Via is his writing. As a guitarist he's a virtuoso but I think Satch owns him (being his teacher of so many years)
Still I think listening back to Erruption being the longest musical jerk off of all time. But still it's pretty impressive to listen to now. Van Hallen and Hendrix between the two of them spawned Rock guitar in every way changing the instrument forever.
Holdsworth is incredible as well. Picking guitarists however is like apples vs oranges, or one man's trash is another's treasure. I know a guy who's an insane guitarist who worships Malmsteen. But as I said previously, I don't like him at all. But that's just Shred in general as a style I do not like.
I thought about it all day while I was teaching and I couldn't think of any other alias. I guess Stevie Ray Vaughn is SRV, I don't know how much of an Alias that is though.
But boy could play the blues.
