and yea... buckethead is a incredibly talented musician, not just a guitarist. the guy can do anything, and probably already has. like 45 albums he's either collaborated on or put out himself.
even his newer stuff is becoming more progressive and less rediculously avante garde [video=youtube;qKHfxTA1DVw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKHfxTA1DVw[/video]
jason becker was a real prodigy- love his perpetual burn.[video=youtube;5qCQLyb0-mI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qCQLyb0-mI[/video]
and you got john petrucci, most people atleast respect his work with Dream Theater but i like his solo stuff and liquid tension more, the vocalist from dream theater gets on my nerves.
