Ron Jarzombek aswell... BLOTTED SCIENCE! If you haven't heard this, it's ingenious insturmental tech metal... Ron, Alex Webster and the drummer from Behold The Arctopus... fucking yes, this is amazing modern metal.. a lesson to be learnt perhaps!

I saw that show and have to agree he did use a LOT of pinches in his leads!

My favourite lead guitarist is Marty Friedman, even though he doesn't really play metal these days, he's still awesome!
