on this note: "All so distinct and interesting, whether comping, soloing, or thrashing." Junior Brown Trey Azagthoth Frisell Buckethead (only on first hearing - now it's all the same) Ribot Steve Vai Todd Huth (Sausage/original Primus) that'll do....

The man plays with all ten fingers on the fretboard (with dexterity that makes Stanley Jordan gasp). I've seen him play Stevie Wonder's 'Higher Ground' live; he plays the bassline (Flea-style slap bass), the funk rhythm, and taps the melody AT THE SAME TIME!! My favorites, though, would be Pat Martino, Trey Spruance, and Alex Lifeson. All so distinct and interesting, whether comping, soloing, or thrashing.

I know this is an old (and terrible) list, but I thought I'd ask for lister's picks for top guitarists. Let's not be so one sided as far as genres...
