    Whole tone scale at it's best!
    ..which isn't very good...

    The sweep + tapping is pretty standard though...

    A lot of that guitar wankery sort of turns me off music TBH... sure, it takes lots of time and dedication to become a master sweeper, but most of it is unpleasant to the ear and pretty soulless. Each to their own I guess

    Eric Johnson caught the right amount of feel, spiel, and squeal in that tune....instant classic.

    the problem is not the wankery. the problem is that most of those guys have spent so much time perfecting the technique and solos that they can't write a decent song, but at the same time their egos are too big for them to merely play someone elses work or share the limelight...

    Cliffs of Dover is a great exposition of technique for example, but as a musical composition it's dull in structure, cheesy and uninspired.

    edit: i guess i should have added in my opinion, as it's all subjective really... but there are quite a few who would agree with me

    Some guys have it all though... Paul Gilbert has ample wankage ability, but his music is also pretty good. Malmsteen is a bit hit and miss for me... I suppose it all comes down to the balance between technical skill and musicality.

    LOL yeah I've seen a lot of people who think of guitar playing as a sport, and that sort of...annoys me... Hey not that I have problem with people doing something that makes them happy, I just find the whole 'shredding machine' thing unappealing. I think shred licks can be most effective in music when used sparingly.
