I'd go into more detail, but this thread is about Malmsteen.

Between the three of Joe, Steve, and Yngwie, Satch is the only one who doesn't have a screw loose somewhere up there. They're all awesome though. I'm pretty excited to see Vai and Satriani (seperately) this April.

yeah have you seen some of the fur coats vai wears? he looks so hilarious in them!!!

satch is actually quite talented, so is paul gilbert, what was that band he was in that he got famous for?

also you can post what gear you have, and pics if you have them

i have a fender strat with 2 single coil pick ups, 1 humbucker, no pickguard, metal knobs, flamed maple neck, deep blue finish, and reverse headstock, its a custom shop!

[Spastik_Roach]

Mines a pretty natural looking red, its practically a mirror I can see myself in it very clearly! Not much of a red tinge at all suprisingly. Black pick-guard, chrome knobs. It looks pretty nice.

Yeah, Gilbert is a &$*(@ing machine. I've got a reaaallly cheesy video of him - a how-to type of thing. Except it's pretty much impossible to do it like he does. He was famous for playing with Racer X and Mr.Big (with Billy Sheehan).

I play a super shitty strat that I've owned for years and years and years. I can shred pretty damn good on it, but I seriously need a new one. It's starting to crackle and the neck is getting weak

i had a thing from a magazine called "total guitar" that was 'paul gilbert's school of shred' !!

[Manik]

hemm.........I don't even play the guitar and I can play the tune iron man. It actually doesn't sound that bad.

[targa]

i am just now really learning "the neccesary stuff" my freind has been playing for a few years and he has started teaching me. he gave me a few things to practice, but other than that he basically told me to just fool around, make up some stuff. any advice on anything?

oh and has anyone else seen "The White Stripes Under Blackpool Lights"? it rocks so much ass...
