ALVIN LEE
especially in the days when he could tear up those strings

Shawn Lane (R.I.P.) you can check him out on YouTube.
Randy Rhodes (R.I.P.) Classically trained guy who could rock
Steve Vai (Not everyone's choice, but few can do what he does)
SRV (R.I.P.) Stevie Ray was just unreal
Steve Stevens (Used to play with Billy Idol, GREAT player
Mark Knopfler (Love the sound--lisen to Brothers in Arms.)
Alexi Laiho From C.o.B. the music annoys, but the kid can play.
Tim Reynolds (Plays with Dave Matthews sometimes, Amazing guy.
And finally, Brother Zakk Wylde, for keeping solos alive when everyone was walking away from them!!

Steve Stevens- another guitarist that was severly underrated. Glad he was mentioned.

Alex Lifeson (RUSH)- He is well respected, and it is deserved. But most common people don't realize how good he is.

Rex Carroll (WHITE CROSS)- If you were into the Christian Metal movement in the late 80's, early 90's, then you no doubt know him and his work. Fantastic player.

Jake E. Lee- He was with Ozzy on the Ultimate Sin album, and dude was just as good as Rhodes and Wylde.

hi rara...Ed...our illustrious thread host

hello everyone else

{no not alice cooper }
Al kooper of incredible talent himself

stephen is so talented, & having been from louisiana
he is very acquainted with the blues
he is also very well known for his involvement with
buffalo springfield, crosby stills nash
and also with {csn and neil young }
as well as with mannases and

i also love Mark Knopfler of course
'slowhand' Eric from the 'Claptonian'
institute of fine music

and another real good guitarist who comes to mind is

Yngwei Malmsteen
and especially in an album
where he played with the Japanese Symphony

Dean Ween (Ween), Billy Corrigan (Smashing Pumpkins), Johnny Ramone, Paul McCartney/John Lennon/George Harrison, John Christ (Danzig), B.B. King
Don't give me solos... Give me a beautiful melody with feeling... guys who solo for twenty minutes put me to sleep
