A fantastic guitarist, maybe the greatest in the world... Take a look, he is fantastic and remember, there's just ONE guitar!? :P

Cool sounding rockabilly groove going on, amazing what you can do with acoustic.

Michael Romeo, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai are all close to being considered the "best". This guy is good, but he doesn't come close to those guys. He knows how to handle that acoustic well, though.

This guy is pretty good. Someone have that video of that young kid playing Knock on Wood? That is testimony that this guy is not the greatest.

Hey, cool to see Michael Romeo get mentioned. Are you into Symphony X? The Divine Wings of Tragedy and V are brilliant albums, such awesome riffage.

You know, the best guitarist ain't the fastest. those guys are just fast, thats it, no talent in songwriting (maybe satriani has some).? hearing Yngwie boost hes ego with ridiculous "solos", as someone calls them makes me cry.

Obviously, you've never heard Michael Romeo. A lot of the other guys stuff, especially Malmsteen's, can be mediocre filler that's just fast but boring. They have a lot of good stuff to make up for it, though. Romeo, on the other hand, has put out tons of great albums with Symphony X. The Odyssey is currently one of my favorite albums for the moment, but Divine Wings Of Tragedy is my overall favorite.

So, what guitarists do you like?  :P
