Adagio Brilliant dark, neo-classical metal in the vein of Symphony X, Majestic and Rising Force. Unmissable!
Michael Angelo One of the fastest guns in the west. Mind-blowing speed!
Phye Ansari Yaan-Zek Strange sounds indeed. John McLaughlin-meets-Marty Friedman-meets-Todd Duane-meets Buckethead anyone?
Prashant Aswani Great first CD in the Greg Howe tradition (who also produced and played on it). Well worth a listen.
Joy Basu Another great player with an earthy style in the manner of Becker and Gilbert. Check out his excellent self-titled CD.
Buckethead Who the hell is Buckethead? Discover the answer at this entertaining site.
Rusty Cooley Great technical shredder -- the perfect antidote to Clapton & Co.!
Todd Duane Monster shredder whose string-skipping sequences leave the likes of Gilbert at the starting line. Next to Shawn Lane, possibly the fastest rock player alive.
Stephan Forte Amazing French guitarist with neo-classical metal band, Adagio. Well worth checking out.
Frank Gambale One of the greats of fusion. A master of sweep-picking.
Tony Gamble Another fine player with a varied output. Check out his CD now!
Brett Garsed Fantastic legato player whose solo recordings and collaboration with amazing 8-finger tapper, T.J. Helmerich, are required listening for guitarists and fans alike.
1,000 Great Guitar Sites Pretty self-explanatory.
Guitar 9 Records Excellent place to purchase guitar CD's. Also features loads of great up-and-coming shredders. Highly recommended.
Allan Holdsworth If you haven't heard of him you should be ashamed!
Greg Howe One of the true greats of modern guitar. Blues, fusion, classical -- you name it, Greg's done it.
Rob Johnson Terrific player from Ohio, USA. Several shredding solo CD's, plus CD's with Magnitude 9. Rippin'!
Rich Kern One of my favourite guitarists. Fantastic technique, but that's only half the story. Band project mellow 26 is also worth checking out.
Dave Kilminster One of the UK's most talented guitarists, with a great musical range and a highly original sound.
Lale Larson A superb keyboard player from Sweden. I guarantee you've never heard anyone like Lale before...

Shrapnel Records Where else could you find so many amazing, must-own guitar albums?
