The Thing about Yngwie is, hes not just Classical, he rips at blues, plays the correct guitar for it, and openly pays homage to Hendrix. His vibrato and the way he finishes motifs is unmistakeably dramatic and him. EVH for tone, but I guess I wasnt there the first time around, and I get the riffs and all, but the playing never directly impacted.
I was around for Becker and Shawn Lane, and I echo what Pat said, these dudes are just on a different place, especially Shawn Lane (RIP) who was basically and alien being.
BTW, Gary Moore for the win....
