I don't disagree with you. The last stuff I heard from him was the late 80's. He was badass back then. I honestly don't know what he has done since, but his work in the mid-80's was worthy of Uli, Wofl and all of the other German greats.dargormudshark said:honestly Bryant, I hate Mattias Jabs, I think he sucks so bad, give me Uli anyday. If you have seen Scorpions recently his guitar solo he does is a disgrace to the instrument and the fans, but most of the fans in Houston are drunk rednecks and they don't know.
Sorry, a little bit of the asshole came out in me

I think the entire acoustic guitar section of "Air" is the most difficult stuff he wrote.shredder487395 said:

Ah...yeah, I still need to get 'Perpetual Burn.' It's pretty expensive even used, so it hasn't been really high on my list. Perspective is quite amazing though. As is the video on his site of him playing the Serrana arpeggios, with ALS, no doubt.

I'm surpised to have only seen Mattias IA Eklundh mentioned once, and Ron Thal not mentioned at all. These guys seem to play some amazing difficult stuff, not that I've attempted much of their stuff myself yet.
I realize that this is a shred-oriented website, so maybe my comments are going to fall on deaf ears here....
Quite frankly, if you put one of the simpler country-style hybrid picking licks that a lot of Nashville players consider basic, stock-licks in front of a lot of these shred guys, they wouldn't be able to play them. End of story. Not because country is harder, but because when you spend your time learning how to shred, you neglect learning other skills.
Similarly, great country players couldn't shred their way out of a paper bag.
The hardest thing to play is whatever you play least frequently. If you learn every Romeo solo note-for-note, you'll never be able to improvise as many beautiful, intricate melodies as Larry Carlton. If you're an alt-picking god, your legato, double-stops, and hybrid picking probably suck shit. If your right-hand technique is unbelieveable, you probably have difficulty comping some basic jazz progressions with a good enough rhythm to play with the local shitty jazz combo.
It's true. I've never seen any guitarist who was good at everything, even including the biggest names out there.
From what I've seen and heard, Steve Morse has unbelieveably great technique in regard to the most styles. But I haven't heard everything, so there are probably other great guys and girls out there.
