Another video from this guy, showing that he is pretty sloppy and his tone can't cover all of it up.

Just playing fast neoclassical fusion might have been OK for a minute back in the 80s, but has become boring.
I like poeple like Marty Friedman and Jason Becker that offermore than just speed. SSJTWIZTA I dont know if you ever considered it, but learning slide (the blues verson-not stand up country music playing like a keyboard version) is fun and produces a cool sound.

Two of the best, glad to hear someone mention them!
Quite possibly the best modern shredder, Michael Romeo of Symphony X.
He has great style, great technical proficiency, and he can write great songs too.
