C'mon guys...i can't believe how many people are overlooking the guy who made finger tapping and pull-ons/pull-offs mainstream? Before 1978 how many people were doing shit like that? Sure Hendrix and Clapton definetly used some of these techniques but not finger tapping...it took some young atomic punk to pull that shit off...NOW look how many great guitarist's use these techniques all the time! Eruption surely opened up alot of new ideas to the guitar world...not to mention all the other solos on that album..
Anyways, Eddie gets my vote for best guitar soloist....as far as best solo? Too many to choose from...
Now don't get me wrong...I love Vai, Malmsteen, Satriani, Hammett, etc...I was just surprised that so few people mentioned Eddie..
Okay I gotta get back to work or my boss is gonna catch me posting on here.. ;)
