    In my 67 years of living, 54 of them playing lead guitar in pro and semi pro bands, I have never been so impressed with a guitarist as I am with Joel, absolute genius !

      @Andy Butler listened to all of them but that doesn’t alter my opinion. Guitar playing is not a competition and no two guitarists in the world can play like each other. My opinion is as said, never been more impressed with another guitarist.

    Amazing ... best rock solo I've ever seen period. He did not innovate the styles he played but he mastered them with a level of dexterity and emotion which is very hard to do. He is an amazing guitar player

      Jean-Paul Haesen joel is at the very top!!!! Ive been playing lead guitar for 22yrs. Pretty hard to impress me cuz alot of players are shit live. But joel.... he NEVER makes a mistake!!! One of the most flawless guitarists ive ever seen. I would without a doubt put him as one of the best pound for pound guitarists walking the planet. Unbelievable what he can do and how clean his licks are!!

    One of the new greats - we loved him when he came to the UK with Whitesnake; brilliant playing, great technique, strong interaction with the fans and he was clearly enjoying himself. His acoustic album "13 Acoustic Songs" is wonderful and shows how versatile he is. Come back to the UK soon Joel!

    What's most amazing isn't the shredding, it's the soul, the bends, the vibrato (at 2:20) that really stand out to me. That and the ability to play so many styles so well and the whole musicality of his solo are what really make him phenomenal.

      +Christian Grimes It's a 8 finger tapping technique he mastered before joining Night Ranger emulating the style of Jeff Watson in that band. Met him at the XM studios in Washington DC for a Night Ranger broadcast. Really nice guy. Exchanged emails for a little while before their tour got so busy he really didn't have time to keep in touch with everyone. He had good advice and was a really great guy. Sort of what you see is how he is. Many may not know he toured with the "Rock of Ages" musical live, and the Trans Siberian Orchestra.
