unkown guy [/url] I found on youtube who is world class
All of the above
Tom Morello?
Depends.
Couldn't care less about technical ability "for the sake of it" . Music for me has to say something, be intelligent, have soul, integrity and all to often lack of those things is excused by the proficiency of the musicians, who cares if they haven't (or couldn't) have an original idea for years, just look at the blur of fingers on the fretboard...
Ah...forgot Bonnamassa, Rhoads and Knopfler!
Too much choice!

Vai's stuff that he did with Frank Zappa (who was an amazing guitarist as well) was pretty good, but a lot of his later stuff, his solo work, and the Whitesnake stuff was a bit meh and too much flash over substance.
The Edge is pretty distinctive, I have always wondered what would happen if you stole all his delay pedals though 😉
