I agree. It seems these guys followed Satriani's path rather than Yngwie's.

I saw this and thought it was slightly humorous.

Paul Gilbert type of approach. I think it's cool. Lots of whole tone scales and augmented transitions in the fret boad. Dissonance and resolve to create ear twisting melody lines....good music in my opinion very sophisticated. Especially in 6/8 time.

It's especially fun in 15/16

Yes switching up the time signature keeps I fun and interesting. Modulation of the keys is cool too especially in vocal songs.

My students do not like when I play Animals as Leaders the entire time we roll. Good thing Im in charge:)
