Well, it's all opinion anyway, but I'd probably agree with you- to some
extent. But concerning guitarists (or any other musician), once you get to
a certain point, it'd really hard to say "who's better." It's all so
subjective anyhow...
Ric Hordinski's and Michael Kelsey's styles are MILES APART. So, I try not
to compare. I might say that Kelsey is more original (I've never seen
anyone like him), but I might also say that Ric is more elegant and
improvisational. I don't know if I could make a statement as to which one
was better... It depends on the time of day and position of the moon (ie-
it's always changing).
My two fav guitarists are Nuno Bettencourt (don't laugh, his overall
musicianship is incredible- not just a guitar player) and John Petrucci,
but I'd say that Michael Kelsey, Ric Hordinski, Joe Satriani and some
others all play on a superior level. It's hard to distinguish which one is
better, seeing as "better" is up to one's opinion anyhow...
In other news- the CPA exam is done. I am fried. I am gonna go take a nap
until next year...

that has a certain Portugeuse-born, Boston-raised, Austrailian-resident
playing guitar on... I'll trade some of my stocked up Emery Bonus Points

him above...]
