I made a bit of an error with that last post ^ Eric is playing tonight. I'm heading out that way to a friends house to help carve pumpkins for the kids. He lives a block or two away from the venue, so it'll be a nice little all day get-away.
...anyway, as I'm perusing FB this morning, I see that one of my friends from a guitar forum went on a trip to Germany. He posted a couple pics of flying over the Alps and other things, and then as I scroll down I see this: ![]() What are the odds that a person becomes a guitar player, learns some Joe Satriani, then many years later he goes to Germany on vacation, only to walk down the street to go have dinner and meet Joe Satriani along the way? Pretty fucking slim I tell ya.

I had my USB stick with a few thousand songs on shuffle this morning in the SUV on the way in to work, and a few Schenker tunes came on, which got me thinking about the fusion between neoclassical guitar riffs and rock and metal. I know that Uli Jon Roth was a big part of it's origins, and had a large influence on Mike, but I got to thinking... again... who influenced Uli? Who or what made this man start to think along those lines. Come to find out that he was more influenced by Jimi Hendrix, and bands like Cream (Clapton). The only tie I can find is that he started listening to classical music at around the same time those influences were taking over:

The man literally started a genre. Such an underrated musician, especially these days, but his influence touches just about every corner of the rock and metal world as we know it today.
