Two Prog Metal guitarists
Each have released a solo album, John Petrucci "Suspended Animation" and Kiko Loureiro "No Gravity"
Loureiro gets my vote. His solo album is incredible.
For those who havenīt heard of him http://www.kikoloureiro.com.br/

Petrucci's a much better all around player, and a much more matured composer.  He easily gets my vote.
 
Loreiro is no slouch, but his career just hasn't had the impact or maturity Petrucci's has.  Loreiro is what we call a sloppier style, with less articulation and more wild sweeps.  Petrucci is a more articulated player who focuses more around scales and modulation than sweeps.

Kiko is amazing, and there is certainly nothing wrong with his technique, but his music tends to sound the same after awhile and he needs to branch-out a little and expand his style (That's why i'm glad Angra has two guitarists -- they balance each other out.)

I like both guitarists a lot, but today Kiko Loureiro gets my vote. No gravity is a great solo album, and he shows a lot of quality on Angra's Temple of shadows as well.
