Bigga, Becker was good and his is sad story. But did you ever hear the late Shawn Lane? No one touched him IMO. Another sad story.

Hm. Having seen both yours and my clip and taking into account the end of the documentry, I feel the Becker had a greater range of dexterity in complex patterning. I'm no expert, by ANY stretch of the imagination and I'm only going off what I see.

Actually, I'll take that last part back!!

Not really into the guys stuff anymore but back when I was 12 learning guitar and all I wanted to do was play fast, he blew me away. Becker was amazing as well.

Not my favourite but a fantastic musician: Andy Timmons- he will be well known to all the shredders out there. What makes me laugh is the way he nonchalantly throws out mindfookin' licks and then moves on to something even more difficult. And you're sat there going, "Twiddly twiddly twang...am I in tune yet?"
