Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai, were the final links in the evolution of the rock guitar chain.

That's what I say about Lee and Thurston.

There's a reason nobody cared to pick up where they left off.

I agree on them being links but it's not a progression in the genre that I enjoy. I also don't think that a genre ever ends and it's always too soon to say that it's over.

I'm pretty sure you disagree with this but I believe Coltrane laid jazz to rest by saying everything there was left to say. There's still worthwhile jazz being made but it's only possible as continued extrapolation on the idea of Coltrane.

I think extrapolation to a certain point makes sense when it's based off of one of the defining figures of the genre. You could say the same for Hendrix. At some point a lot of people don't even consider it jazz anymore.

The jazz chart for this song is "rip off John Coltrane".

Stimulating stuff.

Here's a guy that's taken rock guitar further, but is it going to create a genre?

Is that guitar for playing or fighting crime?

You ever held a guitar in your hands?

A guitar? Yes. A Power Rangers weapon? No.
