David Gilmour, Adam Jones and Mikael Akerfelt are some of my favourite guitarists in general. They seem to be the main prog guitarists who stick out to me, as well as their respective bands. Hence why i'm not 'deeply' into king crimson and others. not that they aren't amazing, i am just really into soulful artists who have dynamics and exploration in their music. Only seem to be interested in experimentation and technicality to a lesser extent.

I voted for Jan Akkerman. According to Mike Vernon in the mid-seventies, Akkerman was going to be the guitarist of the future. I wonder what happened to him?

Roye Albrighton deserves to be on that list too.

He still records music .. like the background music you can hear on his official webpage which is from his latest release from last year.

The official Jan Akkerman Website

Awesome, huh?
