    In terms of big name players, Joe Bonamassa is amazing. I also really like John Mayer's playing when he's not busy being a pop star.

      The best is somebody who can play just about anything, in almost any style he chooses.

        I'm not sure I agree with that. I think there's something to be said for specialisation if you want to listen to the absolute best in a certain genre. I wouldn't want to listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn play classical music, and John Williams's forays into rock guitar leave quite a bit to be desired IMHO.

        I was only joking

          Here's Melanie Faye just fooling around at home. She's only 20 years old but her lyrical style has put her on the A list in Nashville.

            Oh, that's really nice. It's so refreshing to see a young kid who's not shredding.

            Here's one of my favourite guitarists, Bill Frisell

              John Hiland is an awesome player.

              Melanie Faye seems to be quite the natural. Excellent "noodling at home".

              I will listen to Bill Frisell a little later.

                  @Larry I am not familiar with that piece. Would you mind telling me if she was improvising, playing her own composition, or is it an arrangement of another song? (And there’s an accompaniment track in the background, right?)

                      I've tried to watch a few videos by "British guitarist" but I just can't take having to look at that shit eating grin he always has on his face.

                      'Fees up, Larry...Who was the best guitarist you've ever seen?

                      Hard to pick just one. But of the sessions players, right now I like Melanie Faye and John Hiland. Faye is a young 20ish black girl who can just blister a guitar playing improvisational jazz and blues, Hiland is a big ole fat boy who plays country and rock. But if we're talking big names, I think Tommy Emmanuel or Vince Gill. I could listen to either one of them all day long. Heck, I enjoy just watching them play.

                        No backing track. After she lays out her theme she does reach down and turn on a little drum machine playing a simple rim tap on one and three, but other than those 2 taps per measure everything else you hear is coming off her guitar. As far as what it is she's playing, I don't know if it's someone else's or not. She's improvising. Lay out a chord progression, go back and establish a melody line, then just play with it.

                            She's using a looper to record the chord progression - and then jamming over the top of it. It's very nice. According to the title, she's covering a Mariah Carey song 'My All', but we shouldn't hold that against her 🙂

                                I don't see her playing the bass notes, so I assume a looper is a digital tape machine, software?
                                Not as impressive as the big guy earlier in the thread, but he's got some years on her of course. I couldn't tell if he might be blind, or maybe has lousy vision, he didn't seem to have any need to look at the fretboard.

                                      Might as well toss in Gary Moore, who not only could play a guitar like a madman, but had an iconic voice:
