I knew you were going to say Yngwie before I even opened this thread. lol
I used to take bass lessons from Billy Sheehan back in the early 90's when I lived in LA. Back then I was a TOTAL tech freak and wanted to play as fast and as technical as I could.
Then... this big burly black man moved into the apartment on top of mine. His nick name was "Cat Daddy" (no joke) and he had toured with James Brown for a few years and a few other 70's funk bands. He taught me about groove and opened my eyes to funk. Real groove and real funk... and that was the end of my shredding days. Those hours spent in his apartment taught me more than any lesson or school I ever attended.
But don't think I don't know about Racer X, Cacophony, Dream Theater or the countless other bands that have incredible players.
