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.

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...)

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).

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)

John plays guitar and supplies some synth work on Cicatriz ESP. I believe he does not play the guitar solos through the song though. He does though, play the first two solos on L'Via L'Viaquez. He is also noted to play rhythm guitar and some lead on Aputechture, and just "guitar" on bedlam and Octahedron.
You've prolly knew all of this, but honestly i had no prior knowledge of the specific guitar work John does nor could i find anywhere that told me.

I think that sort of stuff should be for later-on in the series. A bit like "well I've run out of normal ideas, so let's do some crazy questions." |
I feel like they'd attract more people, though, and make them pay more attention to the series, so then once it gets a follwing Valarius can throw in some more quirky but still serious-ish ones.

And to answer your question, more random/obscure categories sound good to me.
