David Valdes is a guitarist but Bob Katsionis is a keyboardist but they have the same exact style. No competition but technically, who's better?

Apples are a fruit but oranges are a fruit too, who's better?

Were you comparing their guitar playing skills then your question would be more valid man lol. Still, after checking out that David Valdes guy, he's pretty damn good.

You made your point. I would like to suggest a couple songs from David Valdes(Spain) You may want to check out the song "my enchanted forest" (on YouTube), it's so melodic. Also his new album IMHOTEP "heart of the pharaohs" (not on YouTube).

As for Bob Katsionis, "Apocalypse" the last track on his new album NOEMON. You would have to download it, (not on YouTube). It's just pure attack. Enjoy!

More tasteful? Yes. More restrained? Yes. Technically better? I doubt it.

Tasteful indeed. Full of different taste that I find myself listening to Bob Katsionis more than anything else. His new album NEOMON is so addicting.

As for Dream Theater and Jordan Rudess(a fan since 1989) but just does not grab my attention. Different strokes for different folks. Bob tends to not "overdo" his technically but balances his melodies prefectly. He is my true hero.

Found a Spanish guitarist that is just incredible. He's on YouTube.
Full of screams, down bends, whammy, tricks, etc.

His name is Arnaldo Garcia song "Hurricane" Check it out!

My favourite musician is Rod Stewart, who is technically much better than Valdes and Katsionis. He's also a better songwriter.
