It doesn't get more 80s than this.
Racer X were a shred-heavy metal band centered upon my favourite guitarist, Paul Gilbert, and his insane instrumentals.
Gilbert is a neo-classical metal legend, second only to the musical genius that spawned the genre, Yngwie Malmsteen.
This song incorporates a lot of Gilbert's signature technique and tone - insane alternate picking, harmonic minor scales, that buzz-saw rhythm tone, long stretches and piercing pinch harmonics.
As far as lead guitarists go, this guy is my idol and if you are into 80s shred check out some of Racer X's back catalog - fantastic stuff.
