I dunno ask the artist formerly known as, oh wait

You're a bit late, Blackmore hasn't done anything in 40 years m8.

>implying

Alex Lifeson and Eddie Van Halen

So this is the power of Asperger's...

Their music is decent

Mateus Asato is my favorite active guitarist, but he has never properly released any music, so I guess he doesn't count. Other than that I'm sort of hard pressed to name one, there is so little guitar music I find interesting these days.

My old boss loved his Christmas records. She spent all day listening to old hard rock/heavy metal, except from mid-november through december when she'd exclusively listen to Christmas music. Blackmore's Night Christmas records were a nice mix for her.
She also went to Disneyland ~20 times a year up to the point that even her grandchildren told her to calm down.

Does anyone even listen to jazz here? I highly doubt it, taking this into consideration:
>there is so little guitar music I find interesting these days.
Fred Frith, Mary Halvorson, Keiji Haino. Arto Lindsay, Pat Martino, John Scofield, Bill Frisell.

I love J, but he isnt the best.

I would guess Mario from CHON is the most skilled active guitarist today?

The guy from as I lay dying

Nels Cline

i hate the tappy tap tapperoo style that alot of these modern guys have but thats a cool idea

I always thougt Uli Jon roth did alot more for the neo classical style of rock guitar. Just listen to this solo at 2:04
