Yesterday i went to one of his guitar master classes. he's a totally awesome dude, really explosive, enthusiastic and funny as fuck on stage. he also came across as really nice and modest, all in all a terrific dude everyone would like to hang out with. he gave some great advice on being unique and eye-catching on stage. i'm sorry that his playing makes people think that he's a jerk like Yngwie, i know i had that preconception too before the master class started.

also his double guitar playing is absolutely stunning, you really need to see it live to believe how difficult that shit is. he even flipped the thing down once so that it looked like a backwards V and raised it up to the level of his head while playing(a simple 3-note tapping sequence but who cares, that thing weighs a ton anyway).

he's a really really fucking good guitarist. my only beef with him is that he plays too many tributes to awesome shit like Zeppelin or Pantera, i even caught a reference to Van Halen's Eruption and he played a bit of Purple Haze on his double guitar, but he doesn't concentrate enough on playing original material, which is pretty good imo.
