I mean, Petrucci played the G3 tour and is commonly referred to by many as one of the top guitarists.

Rudess is a Juliart(sp?) grad.

Obviously they're all masters. I didn't intend to say otherwise. Portnoy seems the best to me. Petrucci might be the "worst" of the band to me, LaBrie excepting. Petrucci is completely replaceable as a player as he's all technique.
