                Vinnie Moore: The Maze
                Jeff Loomis: Zero Order Phase
                Basically any black metal/tech death album I like (I shut out the vocals and just listen to the guitar/bass etc. unless I can understand it).

                Edit: Near rhymes!! AAAHHH!!

                      Chris Poland - Return to Metalopolis
                      Yes, all of those!
                      Plus any of Marty Friedman's, especially Music For Speeding and:

                      Ralph Santolla - Shaolin Monks in the Temple of Metal
                      Malmsteen - Rising Force (about the only one of his I really like a lot)

                      And, while not guitar, or even metal, I really, really like the instrumental albums by Burzum. Hlidskjalf is pretty amazing.

                          Oh Christ..wayyyyyyyyyyyy too much to list.

                          Jeff Loomis "Zero Oredr Phase" is the freshest guitar shred album I've heard in many years...maybe to date.

                          Uli Roth's "Metamorphosis" Vivaldi's four season kicks major ass too. Something no other neo-classic shredder would be able to do IMO.
                          "Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"
                          Donnie Swanstrom 01/25/06..miss ya!

                          "Well, your friend would have Bell's Palsy, which is a facial paralysis, not "Balls Pelsy" like we're joking about here." Toejam's attempt at sensitivity.

                            How are they instrumental albums when Jeff Scott Soto is singing on them?
                            I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                              Maybe because "Now Your Ships Are Burned" never hit the top 40 people think of it as just a guitar album. I do. I like Jeff's signing in general but not necessarily with Yngwie J.

                              Its memorable for the instrumentals....Far Beyond the Sun being the best instrumental ever.
                              Jackson KV2
                              Jackson KE1T
                              Jackson KE1F
                              Jackson SL1
