I have a few ideas...

Mattias "IA" Eklundh: frontman for Freak Kitchen and released 3 excellent solo albums. He has the ability to make the wildest sounds without effects pedals. Very unique fellow.





Ioannis Anastassakis: Teacher of flamenco styles, but has a John Petrucci side to him... hell, I like him a bit more than Petrucci... he does guitar clinics in his native Greece and also in California if I remember correctly.





Ah, he's got his own Youtube channel these days. That's cool...

Farzad Golpayegani: Iranian metal player. His incorporation of Middle Eastern sounds into his very metal style makes for something fresh and unique in my book.






Also I have to second Sigh's guitarist.

And I appreciate the Adam Jones discussion and agree with OP that Jones does his role very appropriately.

Mattias Eklundh just posted this this morning...

Quote:
It’s time to get serious! Freak Guitar – Growing Your Own Moustache Vol. 3 – In the Mood for Modes is now available to download from the Freak Kitchen Online Store. With no less than 75 tracks (!) this is THE tuition album for the dedicated musician.

Besides seven new demanding, original songs, with and without guitar, IA has orchestrated a huge, challenging palette of useful backing tunes consisting of loads and loads of different scales from all over the world. This is a stunning opportunity to actually hear the tonality and learn how phrase over synthetic and exotic modes as well as more orthodox Western scales.
I'm really excited to hear this new release. I know the last load of tracks at the end are just different unusual tones, but there's still going to be quality original content. Awesome.

Serious on all points. The suicide comment was an off-topic joke but I do find his method fascinating.

John Martyn

Yes I always sneak him into some thread or other but he was a massively overlooked guitarist and maybe that is because his guitar playing was never the focal point of who he was as an artist.

If you can play Folk, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, Experimental and Funk without even trying then you are a damn good guitar player in my eyes.

^ Excellent call with John Martyn; a player with an unspectacular but unique style, who I was lucky enough to see a couple of times.

I don`t hear much about Steve Kimock, Henry Kaiser or Harvey Mandel - either they are overlooked or I`m out of touch.
To find the three of them playing together means that you`re in for some mellow guitarwork of exceptional quality:-

Josh Homme. Some pretty sick riffs and some good solos. Especially with Kyuss.
