@x999 honestly, i think jimi hendrix. nobody sounds like he did. may not be the best one technically, but he had soul. and that guitar tone is so sweet. plus he played a regular guitar left handed which is kinda cool.

i think buckethead is also insane. dude has put out SO MUCH MUSIC and he's a great guitar player. another one of those musicians that just HAS it.

one that has less history behind him but i still think is a great guitarist is tim henson, of polyphia. he plays some stuff that i didn't think was even possible on a guitar and still manages to make all of his songs extremely memorable and you can sing along to the melody very easily. i also just love polyphia in general, lots of talent in that band.
