The greatest thing Neal Schon brings as a guitarist is that he always seems to deliver what a particular song wants or needs, whether it's core rhythm, a singable melody or all-out fire. And whether it was Santana, Journey, Bad English, HSAS and whenever else tape is rolling. He's a chameleon of styles who can do any genre, yet you ALWAYS seem to know it's him. That's what separates the greats from the icons.

If you young'uns want to see some unexpected badassery from Schon, check out Schon's shred during the all-star solos during Ronnie James Dio's "Hear 'n' Aid" endeavor. It was a 1980s charitable thing via music like "We Are The World," but from within the metal and hard rock community.

Yes, he's legit. Never got the respect he was due, probably because he wasn't all flash like other guitarists of the era and he was overshadowed by another guitarist in his first band. But he can flat out play. He's in the Steve Lukather camp for me; all the chops in the world, but never lets it get in the way of the song.
