Johnny Fein - Horeslips? Wow. That’s a blast from the past. The song king of the Faeries was a very fast enjoyable song. Great band from Ireland.

Parkening!  Not prog, but a great choice nonetheless.  My favorite Classical guitarist bar none.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Not much progginess there, but that is a fleet-fingered fivesome.  

I always love to see the inclusion of Larry Carlton.  

Of the shred bunch (Howe, McAlpine, Kotzen), I'd happily replace Kotzen with Michael Lee Firkins and maybe Howe with Michael Fath.

I'm a jazz-rock fusion fan at heart, so my list includes:

a) John Goodsall of Brand X 
b) Frank Gambale of Chick Corea's band
c) Daryl Stuermer of Jean Luc Ponty & Genesis 
d) Shawn Lane, RIP 
e) Peter Banks, RIP 
I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!!

he's technically good but not original ---and doesn't have the feeling a great original prog guitarist should have..nor the rock a great rock guitarist should have--he's not Howe or Van Halen.Smile
