billy corgan

jon from iced earth. his rhythm guitar skills can't be touched.

my Canadian brother, Jeff Waters

Mattias IA Ekhlund, getting into his stuff.. really good shit.

Allen West of Obituary/Six Feet Under.

most people when they think of obituary guitarists they think Murphy, which i dunno why he was only on one album. Wests rythms are spot on.

Robert Fripp
Adrian Belew (both from King Crimson and have played with Bowie)
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (Mars Volta)
Michael Gira (The Swans and now solo)
Scott Kelly (Neurosis)

While he may not be much in the "technical" department, his use of color and texture are pretty astounding. As Corgan once said in Guitar World one time, "It's not about technique, it's about creativity."

Absolutely. His songs are complex as fuck.

True, Allan Holdsworth also is a great player who shows amazing technicality and creativity. I'll have to check out this Ron Thal.

well, there's that and the fact that corgan can shred with the best of them. He just chooses not to.

sucks for you. i would have gone to G3 just to see Fripp, and would have been bored if i had to sit through Satch, Vai, Petrucci, etc...

allen holdsworth is amazing. i've never heard of ron thal though. i'll check him out too.

Shaun Baxter ftw.

you might also wanna check ron's band bumblefoot! Its kind of pop rock with crazy solos. He got recruited recently to play for guns n roses too, so that's cool for him, more $ and publicity.

I don't know if he's as good as I think because I'm not a guitarist, but he sure seems like a good one... Marc Rizzo from Soulfly. I don't even listen to them, a friend of mine linked me to his myspace and I must say I'm impressed. Watch the first two youtube clips.

That was pretty terrible, in my opinion.
Horrible technique, and doesn't have the chops to go as fast as he's trying to go.
The first video I got really bored of him playing a single open chord with some fingerstyle for an entire minute, then the second video was sloppy as shit.

Anyway, while he isn't really under-rated in my opinion, Chris Broderick is a phenomenal player and I don't hear him mentioned much. His playing outside of the metal-genre is wonderful, too.
And his technique is to die for.

for example, this string skipping he does is flawless, and his right hand technique is completely coordinated with his left hand, particularly at the end.

I also think this Bach piece he plays on this one sounds absolutely stunning from all aspects: tone, technique, execution, and dynamics.

check out the other/related videos of him playing other stuff too. If I could have the cleanliness of his chops or technique or whatever, I'd be a very happy man.

Much agreed. He does the same licks over and over, and his vibrato/bending is crappy. He's pretty good but sloppy as hell.

Goddamn, you guys are difficult to please

dammit. i can't fingerstyle for shit.

I'm learning to chicken pick

there's so much to guitar with using a pick that i haven't even explored the other areas of guitar. im still on the musical short bus

My search is over. I found a female that can shred.

Brian Setzer, his cover of Malaguena still floors me even after hearing it too many times.
