I chose John Petrucci from Dream Theater. I really love Dream Theater's songs, especially Panic Attack and Pull Me Under. It was a hard decision, though. I really like Alex Lifeson and Adam Jones, too. Buckethead is also a really great guitarist.

Hackett of Genesis is brilliantly understated, he uses nuance and tone rather than just bombastic chops (not that there's anything wrong with bombastic chops)
My favorite Hackett starts at 5:46 |

Crikey, those lads were beyond amazing in those days! Hackett did have a good taste! Nothing wrong with bombastic chops at all, and the song really called for what Hackett fell back on. I really enjoyed that piano at the beginning; it really blew me away.
I love Van Halen's solo on "I'll Wait" (1984), which has no bombastic chops (strange enough if we're talking about Eddie, right?), but nuance and tone as well. |
