I've been hearing some wonderful classical pieces coming out of the classical guitar, including an increasingly good rendition of the "Malaguena." But lately I've heard some good classical pieces coming out of the electric guitar. The presto movement in the Summer portion of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons is really intense when transcribed and played on electric guitar.

Isn't this interesting? To see what a kid can do when he asks for a guitar and lessons?

If you follow on his facebook page you see that he's into the rockers who really know their theory and have a classical background. His latest remarks have to do with one I don't know (that isn't suprising) called Yngwie Malmsteen, from Sweden. His Wikipedia page shows some interesting work:

Malmsteen became notable in the mid-1980s for his technical fluency and neo-classical metal compositions, often incorporating high speed picking with harmonic minor scales, diminished scales and sweep picked arpeggios.[citation needed] Four of his albums, from 1984 to 1988, Rising Force, Marching Out, Trilogy, and Odyssey, ranked in the top 100 for sales.
