It might be partially a matter of changing musical interest. Are there any other "neo-classical" guitarists you still listen to after all of these years?

I used to really enjoy the "Shrapnel" guitarists back in the 80s and 90s, but on very rare occasion will I listen to them now, but there are times when I'm in the mood for it and it hits the spot. Particularly some Tony Macalpine songs from his first couple of albums.

YJM is more than his speed, but his style is like a type of food that is very distinctive, but very rich. You might like it once in awhile or at some point in your life, but you rarely want to try it again, but you appreciate it for what it is. Like a fruit cake, maybe??? heh
