Though he's far from the best, I'm glad to see that some people are at least mentioning Jim Matheos. He has a unique style, and he's one of my favorites.

Petrucci has got some technique!
But really the greatest guitar players in the world today are: Tommy Emmanuel, Phil Keaggy and me when I steal the aforementioned guitarists collective talent!

and he contributed a great cut to David Bagsby's CD 'Happy Hour For a Pack of Screaming Monkeys' (based on the music of composer Raymond Scott).

Im completly agree with Norbert you cant talk abotu this thread without including Dan Rock and Brian McApline both are AMAZING! very much so 'Unsung Heroes', they are as good as the BIG 2 and sound completly difffernt to them as well.
I feel so silly that I forgot them form my list on teh 1st page and I love PW with a passion!
Right lets redraft it:
JP, Michael Romeo, Dan Rock & Brian McAlpine, Mikeal Akerfeldt, Karl Groom, Adam Jones, both of Angra's guitarists, Pitor Grudolski, Luca Truilli and Jeff Clayton.

WOOPS! I nearly forgot! I have to give an honorable mention a fellow norwegian: Tore Østby(Ark, Conception)!!! His work is very creative and versatile(especially on Ark's Burn the Sun), and there's lots of flamenco inspiration etc. Check him out if you haven't!

definitely would have to go with Ziggy Stardust, cuz Ziggy played a mean guitar...
but seriously i would go with Robert Fripp, as i consider such albums as Red and Lark's Tongue to be prog metal, and Fripp's guitar workouts are monstrously beautiful modernist exhibitionism

I am but a servant of the mighty Fripp, the sound of whose loins shall forever be upon the tongues of his followers.

Petrucci. No other player from the prog metal realm can possibly beat this combination of skill, diversity and taste (IMHO, as always) ... but of course there may be players who are better in particular domains. |
Agree with Mike totally.

Ok, you lousy people.... It will be a masochistic endeavour for me to have to agree with some of this insane posts here and say that that overrated long-haired guitar-murderer called Petrucci is the most influential, important, skilled and respected in all prog-metal....
Who else? The guy from Kayo Dot? Well, maybe. But not yet.
John Petrucci outclasses any competition.
And please, I'm as objective as they come. But a fact is a fact.
