Gotta go with the lead for Farewell Milwaukee (also my cousin, I'll admit, but he is pretty good) :icon_thumright:

Thy only have one album out right now which is pretty good, but it is, as my cousin described to me, very "jam-ish", with everyone just kinda playing along. Their new one (which has been recorded for the most part, but is not yet out,) I have been told was very heavy on pre-arranging the parts to the songs. I am needless to say very psyched to hear their new stuff.

Great british bluesman, this is one of the songs I the most EVER!!!

there were a couple of 'shredders' in the mid - late 80s which I though would go just as far as Vai and Satriani, but never did.. such as Vinnie Moore, Tony McAlpine etc..
well, they are not doing that bad (one is in UFO I think, and the other in Vai's band) but still....another one I really liked was Lanny Cordola.. I really loved the first House of Lords album!
Nobody seems to be too familiar with Trevor Rabin, who is absolutely in my personal top 3, even though he wrote Yes' biggest (not best) hit, and his music is played on tv just about everyday, and on a lot of Live events (Obama even played his music when he won the election)

(Shoot high aim low is one of my all time favorite solos!)

There are some great ones already but my guy right know is Sean Costello!!!!!! I really need a gold top with P-90's especially after watching him with that 53 in the second video; after he busted his high E at 35 seconds in he still smokes that thing.

Tosin Abasi of Animals As Leaders, pretty big band for the metal scene, which is weird since they're pretty much the creators of 'djent'. Probably a bit much for this thread, but well, he blows my mind.

The late, great Paul Kossoff (of Free).
Old-school git players know of him, but your average Joe or Gen-Y'er not really.
His vibrato was so wicked that Eric Clapton had Paul show him how it's done.

Lindsey Buckingham.
Not a big Fleetwood Mac fan, something about Christine McVie, but always been facinated by his pickless style. The guitar player in one of the best selling bands of all time might not qualify as lesser known, but he rarely (if never) is at the top of a best guitarist lists. His tinny, sometimes raspy vocals...well, singing a high part of a harmony as a female sings the bass part, that's just different. Kind of like Vince Gill and Anne Murray.

Jimi Hendrix would have to be my favourite, he was a real innovator who took guitar playing to another level. He usually played a fender strat, he was left handed but played a right handed guitar stringed the other way. He died in 1970, he started touring in the early sixties but really only came to prominence in 1966-7.
