Answer: Dickey Betts

He played for The Allman Brothers.

7. Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) has never played for Metallica.

There is no more distinctive guitar sound than the one made by a Fender Strat.

9. Which of these guitarists recorded an album using the "fingertapping" technique first?

10. Which of these guitar technicians made a solo album called "Passion and Warfare"?

Answer: Steve Vai

If you have never listened to "Passion and Warfare", I would highly recommend doing so. It is a unique experience. There was even a video from the album - for the song "The Audience is Listening" - that played on MTV for a while.
