We realized we've been going a bit easy on you with our yearbook photos recently, so fair warning -- this one's gonna be a bit tricky. This guitarist, born Nov. 6, 1966 in Illinois, is known for his super fast playing.

He is also known for leaning into it and for his work in a pop-rock band, who had a huge hit in the early '90s. It was a ballad that went to No. 1 and was always on the radio. He was also in another band influenced by Judas Priest, where he was known for his swift solos and technique.

He was voted as one of the 50 Fastest Guitarists of All Time by Guitar World, which is no small feat. Clearly, he knows how to handle his instrument. Think you know who we're talking about? Find out here!
