10k Petrucci geetar

I'm sorry, and I have to personally defend Satriani and Vai on these soul-less claims. Besides their displays of rapid fire pyrotechnics, when I hear these two, I hear lots of soul and emotions. There's an amazing amount of beautiful phrasing and melodies in their lead and rythym playing. I also regard both of these guys as magicians on guitar.

I tend to forget to breathe when I watch this one:

Definitely an Alien from another world:

100%

Not saying that's what's going on here but all too often I have noticed that when people say "he plays with soul" the "soulful" reference I get in my earholes is tired old pentatonic blues-wank.

Vai, Satriana, Petrucci, Romeo, Abasi, etc. can play with any amount of emotion needed for the song, and as evidenced above often do, but they can also play hyper-technical when need for the song as well, and I find that a very attractive combination, which is why I love listening to those guys.

The reason I know that Satriani plays with soul and emotion, is because I can feel the name of the song when I listen to it. That's inspiring because, there are NO WORDS!!

I have a John P pick? does that make me sound like JP?
Honestly--- the older I get the more I hear players LIKE PEtrucci ---and I can APPRECIATE the speed and talent and all --- but --- and dont get me wrong ///I like Sach and Vai and Malmsteen et all-and I was a firm advocate for SPEED METAL at its BIRTH --- -- speed is "interesting"--- but to my ear it lacks a certain SOUL or heart---- or something --- talent displayed for the sheer display of talent does not good listening music make---- I cant tap my foot to it--- ........

eh maybe its just me

I think Joe Satriani plays with a lot of soul despite his speed shredding but Malmsteen who is a great guitar player in his own right tries to cram as many notes in a millisecond and after a while it gets a bit boring. Petrucci I guess has some soul and feeling in his playing but is another shredder that tries to cram everything in a short time span. They all have their different styles so it's what you really prefer.
