Word.
I think a true virtuoso is a blend of technique and melody. Vai often does this perfectly. Satriani and Malmsteen can too, as Surfing With The Alien and Black Star shows, but they spend most of their time showing off and neglecting melody alltogether IMO. I would like to see them take a chill pill, not get so caught up in their egos and focus on actual songwriting.
