I don’t know what it is about the “technique“ monsters that I just can’t get into. I watch this kid and I’m amazed but I'm always left cold after a few minutes. All I see and hear is the practice and the regimen. I rarely get a feeling of any passion or fire, or hear anything that is all that touching out of their playing.
The only player who could shred that I like a lot was Gary Moore (and the early Yngwie years). Dig some Frank Marino and love Uli. I respect the hell out of the ability of these newer players but I don’t get much feeling out of what they are doing. They never sound like they’re going for a raw emotion in the moment, with a chance of falling on their face. Just another well practiced phrase or cadence.
