For some mellower stuff, Eric Johnson comes to mind and aside from Ah Via and Tones, Venus Isle has always been a favorite. A late night drive with that playing has been therapeutic for me at times.
For acoustic, anything by Tommy Emanuel.
Then, there's Stanley Jordan, Frank Gambale, Kazumi Watanabe, and a whole other host of fantastic players with some mellower stuff. It's been a while since I've been down those roads though, so they don't pop into the cerebellum quite like they used to.
