Tremonti is good... but his sound is so distorted... like mega overdriven!

I am fond of a good bit of Dimebag... although he doesn't really show it in this video... he is great... and he does set off the alarm by playing guitar!

Having listened to guitar shredders for the best part off 15 years it has worn kind of thin as Eric Clapton said it's not how many notes you playes it's the spaces you leave in between..

But i i had to mention a few i would include

Stevie Vai. Track 2 from the album Sex Lies and Religion and track 7 also from the same album.

Joe Satriani. Basically all off Surfing With The Alien.

Jeff Beck. Guitar Workshop and Who Else

That is just to name a few.

Taz (bass player from the Howlin Gaels)

As Taz alludes to, it's all about the feel.

Some of these guys can play real fast and technical, but there's no heart and soul in their playing. Music by numbers...

I prefer guitarists that play like you can feel their emotions pouring through their fingertips.

Angus Young for instance - no need for masses of distortion, no need for mixolydian modes or dive-bombing or all that BS - just pure raw emotion in his solos. Vibrato to die for, too.

Hell, even guys like Dave Murray and Adrian Smith have their own styles and always seem to make their solos fit the song perfectly. (Murray's hammer-ons are the best in the biz, by the way! ;))

That type of guitar-playing to me is way more important, and better than all the 'shredding' you can throw at me.
