Perhaps not up to the standard of Satriani, but still awesome, and in the top 20 in the world. Of course, you don't really notice his talent that much hidden under Neil Peart's insane drum solos, and Geddy Lee's bass 'wankery' (see Leave That Thing Alone), but he is pretty amazing, and has some of the best chordwork I've seen, as well as some of the catchiest riffs... Big Al rules.
