I know most of us look up to Yngwie as the pioneer of Neo-Classical Metal, as we should. But once in a while someone else shows up and takes things to another level. In my opinion it's this guy ~Katsu Ohta.

Koyaanisqatsy is sick neoshredder, very different and unique

First impression of Ark Rider was "Wow holy shit" then after a couple minutes I realized they I had already heard it before. This guy is more clever I think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWVyO4gSq24&NR=1
