He's a great lead player but I like him better in the context of a song. This sounds like a lack luster attempt at being Jason Becker but about a thousand notes less and not as good of a shred tone. Oh, and the diminished arpeggio ascending the neck lick has been done to death..... Y N G W I E owns the patent on that one. (Yeah that's right, I am talking to you Johan Sebastian Bach!!! sit down and feel the fury!)
