    Al Di Meloa is the whole thing. He's very modest.

    Old school metal head here, just now starting to develope a deeper understanding and interest in this genre. This cat is a beast. His musical i.q. is so high.

    Saw Al with RTF as a young rocker and had my mind expanded.
    Years later in a smaller venue he signed my campfire guitar which was promptly retired.
    Two decades later I got to see him again at a very classy place and surprise, soon after my son's High School jazz band got to play the same stage.
    I told my son he can never understand how cool this is for me.

    What's interesting is that another guitar player I really like, who comes from a totally different genre of music, is Neil Geraldo from Pat Bennatar. He says the exact same thing about timing. I've heard him say it in several interviews the most important skill to develop is timing.
