Here's a video of John Hiland demonstrating a Telecaster through a Reeves tube amp:

Johnny Hiland is an amazing player - I think I posted his stuff at the old place. He did quite a bit for PRS Guitars a few years ago, however I guess he jumped ship - maybe he doesn't appeal to their typical demographic.

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.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

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.

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

@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?)

The auto correct function on this place pisses me off....
This place has no auto correct function. Most likely it is some general auto correct function that is enabled on your particular device (phone?). Next time before you try to piss on this forum, check for headwind first.

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.

No one tried to "piss on this forum". Pull your panties out of your ass and cool your jets.

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

"She's using a looper to record the chord progression - and then jamming over the top of it. "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. -
There is something about watching somebody with fantastic technique...
