Just a random thing; I've been wondering, how much does John Frusciante factor in on TMV's albums? Whenever I hear a solo or something, I don't know how to tell if it's John or Omar playing. Don't get mad at me, that's not a runner up, just had a question about the guy. Sticking to prog, mine is: I think you should mix the series up a bit. Probably do one more basic one and then start throwing in some more obscure stuff, and some fun ones as well. "Favorite prog hairstyle," "Favorite Peter Gabriel double entendre..." stuff like that. Well, maybe not the second one.

It's funny, I hear all the time that Omar is the brains behind the music of TMV, but his solo work is absolute rubish as far as I'm concerned. (I'm perhaps the biggest fan of TMV's first 3 albums)

Beautiful is the last thing that describes Howe  Because I've been listening to Camel lately, I choose Andy Latimer, who is very emotional. His style is in my opinion similar to Gilmour's, but I think his playing is a little better (although Time is still my favorite solo ever).

I'll go with Lifeson. He got the chops, the technical skill, the feeling, his guitar tone is sick, and I think he has a unmistakable style.  I love his guitar work, and I love his unorthodox hard rock riffing style. He has lot of amazing solos, but the one from The Analog Kid and the one from Xanadu are by far my favorites, among many others (Limelight, Natural Science, Villa, etc...)

If you right click and go to 'Image info' it'll tell you the name of the pic is Michael Holmes, IQ's guitarist. Very difficult, and I'm going to avoid the rather predictable choices we've seen so far and go with Jacob Holm-Lupoof White Willow. Keep going with the series Valerius and throw out what ever topics you want, just know that some will always be better supported than others.

Luciforms (from Octahedron) has one of the greatest guitar solos ever.

yeah don't get me wrong he's a great guitarist, and that particular solo is good. I've just never placed much emphasis on the idea of solos in general, I find they often detract from the overall quality of a given peice of music. I would rather gauge a guitarist's caliber with the impact he has on the musical direction. Again, don't misunderstand, I like solos as much as anyone I just wish they weren't so often in rock music in general (specially in terms of guitarists)

Ok, I'll try and choose only one.
Jan Akkerman. He just hits all the right notes, for me.

Same. There are so many wonderful guitarists in prog with various strengths and styles. But Petrucci's playing has a special place in my heart.
