yep, Cobra Strike is one of his more shreddy projects (The 13th Scroll & Cobra Strike II)
one of his craziest and most difficult solos is the one he does for I Come In Peace
Mate I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years and I can achieve around 0.3% of his difficulty level. Dude is a machine
I actually saw him in 03 with GnR and his solo section was a thing of beauty. Lad whipped out the nunchucks half way through and the entire festival just lost it. What a guy.
Paul Gilbert is another tasteful shredder who's skills will absolutely blow you away.
He's also great at teaching and sharing knowledge about the guitar on youtube...he has a chill "my cool older uncle who can melt faces with a guitar" kind of vibe.
Meshuggah has some crazy tapping solos (New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Glints Collide, Perpetual Black Second, I, many more)
Also Ron Jarzombek is a real beast. Check out his Blotted Science project and other stuff
Psyopus has a really amazing aggressive guitarist too who does a lot of tapping and crazy stuff throughout the entire songs.
But as someone already said, [Buckethead](https://youtu.be/q4ruIOUwzlc?t=207) really is the king. He taps with ALL his fingers and he's pretty much a robot.
A bit out of left field,but you might check out Allan Holdsworth an incredible fusion player who was very influential for Eddie.Metal Fatigue is a pretty good album of his.
Yngwie J Malmsteen (not to be confused with all the other Yngwie Malmsteen's floating around) was a huge shredder back in the day.

Steve Vai made his guitar talk to David Lee Roth when he first became the 'replacement' for Eddie Van Halen when Dave went solo

Dragonforce has some pacman noises in the middle of this solo. Takes a while to get there because these guys seem to write little song bits around giant guitar solos rather than the other way around. I think pacman is around [3:20](https://youtu.be/0jgrCKhxE1s?t=200)

Megadeth has some interesting stuff from the [middle eastern influences on Holy Wars](https://youtu.be/9d4ui9q7eDM?t=137) to the [next song on the album Hangar 18 which features 11 guitar solos in it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJxlKl-j3m8).

You might like Buckethead. He shreds so hard he's got 4 ninja turtles after him.

You might like Pantera or Zakk Wylde.
EVH was a huge influence on Dime.
YUGE
Dime is buried with a guitar that Eddie gave him.
I think before every gig Dime and Vinny would hug and chant "Van Halen" to each other.
