You're right. I'll take Mclaughlin over Satriani or Vai any day. I'll take Les Paul and Chet Atkins over Vai and Satch as well.

Buckethead is one technical guitarist that I find to be pretty interesting. Definitely more interesting than Malmsteen, Vai, and Satch. I think he has a lot more style and creative ability than those guys. He has the ability to play a million notes a minute, but he doesn't do it all the time, because he has some style.
