Does anyone here agree that Ritchie Blackmore is overrated?, at least to some extent, i like Blackmores Night, but i find his Deep Purple and Rainbow material to be quite boring and dull, i really dont think he deserves as much credit as he gets, of course hes a technical wizard, im not denying that.
I also find Steve Vai overrated even though im a fan, hes great and all, but when people say hes one of the top 5 greatest guitarists of all time, and greater than Clapton and Page, then thats another story.
The problem with kids today is that they all think playing really fast is all there is to great technical guitar playing, they need to listen to some Steve Howe and Frank Zappa and they will prove them wrong, theres much more to skill than just speed.
