Oh yeah, that reminds me, the best guit-fiddler you never heard of? Well, one of my nominations would be Scott Homme...
...good jazz stuff!

It's all good, apparently spam's been shown the door...

though not without getting a few jabs in at Steve Vai

you must really have to like listening to the same jazz song over and over again to memorize all those notes that seem to be improvisation, kinda like memorizing a Dark star note for note... still stellar finger wagging.

Yeah, I hear ya, Jonny! The thing is, these are 11 jazz 'heads' (head being the melody of the song) strung together, kinda like linking the main themes of Help>Scarlet>Est>Terrapin, etc...but in the jazz idiom....the improvisations begin after the 'head' is stated...hope that helps...

OK, here's two more 'best guitatrists you've never heard of'...
...actually, you may have heard of one, Paul Kogut, as he belongs to this forum...

Here's one that I had forgotten about - Junior Brown. I've seen him a bunch and he never ceases to impress. Kind of insane but one helluva player.

I saw Junior Brown open for John Prine at the Tower Theatre when Prine was touring with full electric band, that dude can wail.

For sure, not bad for a Squier Telecaster
