I never cared that much for guitar solos even though I've listened to heavy metal all my life.

Heavy metal rhythm guitars are very important though. And heavy metal is important.

Do you know Yngwie Malmsteen?

Of course. I used to buy his albums. Still love Trilogy. But I like it most for the overall style of metal and good songs, not the solos in particular.

R u an Yngwie lover?

Malmsteen is one of my top 5 guitarists. Not because of his music, but because of its skills. I don't like much what he does on his electric Stratocaster, but the classical guitar solos he does for about 7 minutes in every concert, usually on Ovation Applause guitars, are just breath taking.

Those 7 minutes are pure awesomeness, worth of any money, and its a shame he doesn't play more acoustic solos.

 

What usually people hate about him is his useless shredding that sometimes gets horrible in the middle of a concert.

 

Listen to this and tell if you wouldn't go crazy listen to that and asking yourself how is this extreme shreding even possible on nylon strings:
