Besides the obvious Steve Vai, Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani..

Guthrie Govan is fucken mind blowing... he has a solo album called "Erotic Cakes", if you're into guitar this album will pretty much leave you incapable of any thought.


This is the first song on his album.. from a live webcast he did on Licklibrary.com

I must be livin under a fuckin rock... That dude is fuckin AMAZING. Sorry, but that fat fuck Yngwie WISHES he had that kind of tonal control and style. I believe this dude may be an evolutionary advance- a fucking Mutant, maybe.

Thanks for this.

BTW, Alex Lifeson and Frank Zappa always make my top ten list ;)
