Alex Lifeson

>>72976188
yes, i know. is it still steve vai, malmsteen, or satriani? In terms of technical...

I guess i'm asking who is the up an coming player/s

Jeff Beck or David Gilmour. And maybe Frusciante.

>who is the up an coming player/s

best i can think of is tosin and that plini douchebag but really no one cares about either of them except guitar nerds

Then probably Tosin Abasi

>>72977233
Nah, Tosin is amazing but both Guthrie Govan and Greg Howe definitely have a more thorough understanding of theory, phrasing, and better (although marginally) technical command of the fretboard.

guitar is a dying instrument

Pat Metheny

>>72977308
yeah but they're not 'up and coming' theyre old as fuck

bass is sexier than guitar

>>72976246
I love Frusciante. Why can't he quit his techno music and play his instrument again. It's like watching Jimi Hendrix take up the xylophone instead of his guitar. It's probably collecting dust somewhere.

me desu

>>72976117
Guthrie Govan
Tosin Abasi
Derek Trucks
Brent Mason

John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr.
