Definitely a one of the most prime examples of how much feeling Zappa could put into the guitar. On the note of what you mentioned about Frank and Steve, here is a video I hope everyone enjoys. It's one of my favorites if not for Steve Vai's hilarious outfit alone. Another favorite of mine would definitely be Al Di Meola. Elegant Gypsy Suite was already posted which is one I would post but here is an equally enjoyable tune =). On an ending note, I can always appreciate the speed of a guitarist but personally I find most of my favorite guitarists are not the fastest(although by no means are they slow) but the ones who show the greatest range of emotion in their playing. I am also a huge fan of guitarists who can improvise amazingly fitting riffs on the spot, which is probably why Zappa is one of my favorites by far. | ||

Keith Cross did this album with T2. He was 17 at the time. Go about 1 minute in for a nice guitar section. | ||

![]() As for just guitar skills probably marty friedmann or david gilmour or whatever. They're all pretty much the same in my book. I know technically the more famous guitarists may not be better technically but they just seem to write better in my opinion. As far as guitar music goes I really enjoy like new and innovative writing as opposed to playing. for example: Especially the tapping part near the end | ||

Anyway my favourite guitarist is probably David Gilmour 'cause of the feelings he puts into his music. I also like Clapton, Lifeson and Hendrix a lot. | ||

He's awesome and knows the way of the musician (kekek). He gave me lots of advice and is really helpful. He does music for a living, recording/composing songs for games and a mix of a bunch of other stuff! I hope I can have a life like him someday :D | ||
