Jimi Hendrix
Jeff Beck
Allan Holdsworth
Greg Howe
Jean-Paul Bourelly
John McLaughlin
Leslie West
Carlos Santana
Billy Gibbons
Frank Zappa
Adrian Belew
Buzzy Feiten
Mick Taylor
Johnny Winter
(early years)
Randy California
Peter Green

I've seen Vai mentioned in the context of him being a fan of Prince's playing. I dig Vai and Malmsteen. Vai more so.

I've seen Vai mentioned in the context of him being a fan of Prince's playing. I dig Vai and Malmsteen. Vai more so.

I know next to nothing about Malmsteen's playing, but I came across this link a few days ago. He threatens a woman on a flight to Japan for spilling water on him. It's actually pretty hilarious. lol (it's from a few years back so you may have already heard this)

Who's to say this thread won't get deleted either? They realize Yngwie is not a racial epithet?
