Let's be honest, the dude has zero soul. He plays really fast and neat and that's about it. He is technique like a robot. Might as well be a human tape machine. His music really doesn't move me, except for the David Lee Roth stuff, but only because Roth reigned him in. The guy does not groove, he is way below Prince or Vernon Reid.

You shhould make the switch to Buckethead. Ok, he's not human, but he has chops and the grooves to back them up.
