Not real impressed with him as a person. Met him, kind of a ass. I understand that he is banging that broad who crashed the White House party with her husband. The whore left her husband for Neal. Then Neal in his infinite classiness emails the poor guy pics of his junk. Nice dude, how old are you? Divorced 5 times. Hmmm wonder why? In spite of it all he is my favorite guitarist ever. Douche bag or not Neal rulz!!!

@StratMatt777 i think it's hilarious how people have no clue how fast Neal Schon truly is.....he could tear it up in a speed or death metal band with the finger speed and dexterity he has.....and many people who doubt this have no clue that Neal Schon outplayed all the so called "guitar gods" during Ronnie James Dio's Hear n Aid stars...Neal is a legend

Whether you like or dislike his personality, the fact remains he's one of the greatest living guitar players on the planet.

@YearraeY i love neal schon, but in my opinion satriani is a better guitar player, as well as eric johnson and andy timmons. all 3 of which have emotion as well as technique and composition. and yes i am a big neal schon fan i have his solo work too. it shouldnt be a contest to see who is better than another but for my listening purposes andy timmons satch and johnson are my favorites. as well as andy mckee for acoustics.

I love the solo on Live In Manila for this tune.

[guitartec]

One of the best guitarists without any tats.

I like Vinnie Moore and Allan Holdsworth. Neal Schon is in same category as them.
