I agree with many of the comments about needing more melody, and overall too much shredding.Jeff Beck,Gimoure,Santana, all did amazing things with simple riffs. I will say that Satriani, to me has a lot of melody and shredding combined. I think for songs without lyrics it is hard to beat sat,and Vai. The bands that actually have singers and want to make money need more of a Santana,Clapton type of individual. After all it is one thing to consider who sounds the best,but who has the most money? My ex guitar teacher Randy Gouge,from Knoxville,Tn could play with any of these guys.He was not impressed with himself and neither should these guys be although they are excellent.Remember people like Randy Rhoads whould wanted to quit touring with ozzy to study classical guitar, now that is a true guitarist and my personal favorite.

well what can you say, same old, same old,although the winner was the right choice.even after 25 years of satriani and vai,they are still considered the yard stick to all widdledom.I am so glad that I dont waste my precious playing time trying to play or emulate any of this boring riffage.I have probably got the wrong end of this stick, but I aint gonna be sucked in by it.Later dud............................................

I have been playing longer than any of the contestants are old, and I have one thing to say. They ALL are much better than I! I enjoy music too much to criticize it. Lots of new talent out there. Please don't judge. It could be a lot worse. I survived Disco, and I can't personally say I care for rap. I just enjoy anything, where it is obvious that the players are having fun, and doing their best. Just an old fart's opinion, nothing more.

hi there-enjoyed final,but as certain individuals stated,there was a lack of melody in some areas-some of these people can certainly play a guitar but its having musical content also,and being able to write 'saleable' music...but congrats jack and all finalists...as long as they enjoyed themselves thats all that really matters at the end of the day.take care all. dave.
