Yngwie Malmsteen
In the 1980s, Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck, better known as Yngwie Malmsteen, became famous for his neoclassical metal playing. With at least 20 full-length studio albums, some still consider Yngwie to be one of the world’s most prolific musicians today. In 2018, he signed with Mascot Records and promised to release many more new and exciting songs!
John Petrucci
Although he began as a Dream Theater member before leaving, John Petrucci is best known for his work. Petrucci’s name appears in every “Top Guitarist” essay and post in magazines and on the internet. After learning to play in jazz phrasings, he developed the ability to incorporate classical and jazz phrasings into rock chord progressions, resulting in a sound that is unlike any other in the rock world today.
