I get what you're saying but think Paco de Lucia, Eddie Van Halen and Joe Satriani all have a bit more variety than Slash.

I'm not familiar with Sabicas, but thank you for mentioning him. Literally yesterday I was googling around to trying to find some good flamenco to add to my collection. Any recommendations on albums? I'm not really a fan of flamenco vocals generally so instrumental albums would be my preference.
