Ok, I don't really care for Yngwie or Satriani, but I no doubt respect the talent and overall skill they posses. You and I come from two opposite ends of the spectrum GB. I feel I like musicians who lean towards feeling more than technical skill, it feels more human to me and I feel I can relate to it more spiritually. Yngwie and Satriani definitely have feeling as I see them enjoying themselves on stage and not just standing there playing like a robot, but I just don't get into it as much. It feels just too formulaic to me.
I'm not saying I can't enjoy virtuosic guitar players, not at all. I just have a thing for musicians who have accumulated decades of experience due to experimenting and feeling for music alone.
