At least in terms of technical abilities, Malmsteen is the J.S. Bach of the electric guitar. His music is complete non-sense, which is where the Bach comparison ends, but he ought to be considered at least for his techniques and the influence he has on, arguably, anyone & everyone in any genre who has picked up a guitar since his arrival on the scene.

Great melodies, compositions, intensity, showmanship, and of course 6 string monster.

After 35 years in the music industry, Ingwe Malmsteen has had the greatest impact on my appreciation of guitar virtuosity!
