One of my favorites. Certain bands/guitarists for whatever reason you feel close, like they reach you or there's something that connects. That's how I always felt about GL. Funny how I never made that connection with some great players.
I always felt close to GL, Yngwie and Paul Gilbert, but others like Satriani, Vai and even EVH, I never felt the same connection. I don't know why, it's not that any of them are better/worse than the others. Still love them all.
