Progressive Rock/Alternative/Metal

Anyone listen to Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Tony MacAlpine? They are the by far best guitarists alive right now and I'd have to say Satriani is better then Hendrix....

You are leaving out:
1. Zakk Wylde
2. John Petrucci
3. Alexi Laiho
4. The "Rev"
5. Mark Knopfler
6. Herman Li
7. John Mayer
8. Tom Morello
9. Malmsteen

There are tons of really insane guitarists right now. Matter of fact, from a technical standpoint, most metal leads are as technically sound as Vai and Satriani, where Satriani and Vai just have incredible sounds and style. Jack White is also a very talented guitarist. It's hard to judge style, because most people have different tastes. For example, Flamenco is incredibly hard to play, but rarely gets recognition.

To answer your question though good man, yes, I do like prg metal and the like from time to time, but I admire their talent.

Dude, Zakk can play. Like I said also though man, it's style too. Malmsteen can play super fast, but I don't think the guy has crap for style; just MHO though.

Progressive alternative D: not metal lol Wylde is considered Rock/Metal and i'm just saying. Vai, Satch, Petrucci, Bane Jevic, Paul Gilbert. All amazing. I saw G3 in my local and it was AMAZING!

MOs def, but he posted, "...greatest guitarists alive." If it had been of all time, my list would be alot different, because I agree with you 100%.
