I don't claim to be a big music snob but I got drug to a bon jovi concert in Dallas last year by a girl and I thought richie sambora could pick a note or two. What am I missing?
It might be a surprise to some,but Vince Gill is a good one. He does a lot of his own stuff,unlike some who like to carry a 6 string around for the look...

Steve Vai for how versatile he is, Zakk Wylde for metal, although it's a toss-up between him and Dimebag Darryl(RIP), SRV for bluesy stuff. There are a few other guys, but those are the main ones.
Vai is ridiculous live. He's probably the most flawless technician live I've ever seen.
These guys at Candy Rat records keep impressing me. I've bought all of Andy McKee's records. Antoine Doufor, and Don Ross are also really good. I've been listening to Stephano Barone doing Batman/Alexander Supertramp for a couple weeks. I found this guy last night, and he's got great rhythm. If you click the link, along the bottom are thumbs of the other artists. I don't like the slap the guitar and make weird noises with it vids, but some of the music is really nice.
Other than these two cats, there's not much I can add here. Ya'll got the bases covered pretty well.

No doubt about it. They're a very small fraternity who are in a class by themselves. I like Don Ross not only because of his outrageous mastery of the guitar, but because he writes *great* music. In fact, most of those Candyrat guys play a lot of Don Ross' music.
"Tight Trite Night", done by Andy Mckee isn't something to have on the car stereo. It'll get ya a ticket.
