Another player who is very talented but who i feel missed a great opportunity to be a rock god was Shaun Baxter
Backin mid 80s he looked the part and his playing was totally rocking, but then he got Jazz and regular rock no longer held his attention enough to do it every day
Had a master class with Shawn Baxter, he runs the course i was on, phenominal guitar player, although his "Jazz Metal" compostions were a little hard to listen to.
He has a very orgnaised approach to practising and improvising.
