The most memorable melody he wrote was Right Now, followed by Jump. Neither of which are on guitar. He could tap really fast, but his solos were just showing off technical skill, without memorable melody to them. I say this as a guitarist, it's not like I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm also a guitarist and I disagree. I can remember his solos note-for-note, they're not just random shredding.
