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

One of my "Stranded On A Desert Island" CD's is Hacketts' "Bay Of Kings". I got it back in the mid 90's and have loved it, learned it and lived by it ever since. The man is a brilliant classical player.



His solo work is outstanding as well:
