i don't see how you people listen to satriani, malmsteen, and petrucci. i agree that it is technically amazing, but it lacks musicality imho. i would sell the gibson and add the money you would of spent on ltd or jackson and buy a better gibson. but whatever floats your boat. but if you're set on buying something, go and play it rather than taking the word of ATOTers.
satriani and petrucci are very musical imho.. malmsteen is just classical shred to me. listen to satriani's Flying in a Blue Dream... its so very melodic and sweet, i could listen to it over and over and over...
i haven't listened to any of dreamtheater's new stuff, but what i have heard seems like petrucci is just playing scales and fingertapping as fast as he can. but to each his own i guess.
Some of the best music ever written is basic scales over chord progressions. Petrucci just goes alot faster
Aye, Petrucci be fast, but teh melodocity(sp?) jumps off teh plank....wankery is the word for it out on the seas.

GET A NEW AMP! (a real one) Not a effin Line 6 either. The LP will shred thru a REAL amp.

They are good for certain situations, but NOTHING beats a soaked set of output tubes - especially with a nice Paul, in the hands of someone who can play.

That's the key. SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Gilmore, etc. all sound like themselves almost regardless of what they play through. So my Line 6 is good enough, because I'm not that good.

Have you ever played thru a good tube amp? It becomes PART of the instrument. You WILL sound better (as long as your atleast mediocre). I can tell you this too, every single one of those guys you listed spent a LOT of time tweaking their DISCRETE all TUBE amps to get the sound that makes them sound like they do (although, you are right, they contribute the biggest part to the sound by far)
I love the no-master volume Marshalls and Fenders - TONE for DAYS!!!
