I've got a guitar signed by John, I've seen DT fourteen times live, I got a Majesty tattoo, and my whole guitar career has been shaped largely by this man.
      I don't have that precise intonation on any of my standard tuned instruments. It's close, but not as good as his. In a full mix it sounds lovely, but solo is when you can hear it the best. Cheers.

      Guitar playing is not a sport, although the kids and immature adults seem to talk about it as if it were. And it is impossible to say one guy can play “circles around” everyone else when there are players like Paul Gilbert, Guthrie Govan, Buckethead, John 5, Ron Thal (guy is insane), and many others out there.
