i saw a lot of cool names and quite a few jazz cats, but no one said Kenny Burrell... I'll have to add him in there

was glad to see Jimmy Herring mentioned, that dude can play...

how about Jason Becker? never cared much for that style but I can't begin to fathom what he would be able to do if he was able to play his guitar again.

Here is my top 10..its not really in order, but is, since the ones im most interested in pop up first

Frank Gambale
Allan Holdsworth
Danny Gatton
Brett Garsed
Shawn Lane
Richie Kotzen
Jeff Beck
Ron bumblefoot Thal
Eddie Van Halen
Yngwie

haha after about selecting 6, it got hard cause i've gone kinda out of that whole 'lead guitarist' thing long ago ..
for the last 2, ONLY their earliest of early stuff! (but to be honest i dont really listen to them as of now...maybe when im drunk or bored)
i used to love yngwies (old) solo stuff ages ago..im SO over it now, so over each and every little thing about it! but his time with alcatraz (that one album) ;its gotta be one of my favourite tones ever! plues i love the song structures
and as for eddie...VH1's tone; enough said

for each of those players ive gone with a phase, where id listen to the same player for months, then get into another guy when i feel abit more interested in, say, a specific tone or watever..the only thing that could make me want something thats full-on-guitar nowadays is the tone..

"cool" seems to be the keyword with all of them
