Wow! Some of my absolute favorite players are being mentioned here - OUCH!

Derek Trucks = my current favorite player. Watch him with The Allman Brothers on Live At The Beacon Theater. He's not a flashy player, but has the best tone and really makes me feel something.

Joe Satriani is also one of my all time favorites. I don't like to see him get lumped in with "shredders" like Malmsteen, who does nothing for me. Satch uses speed when it is necessary, but also puts tons of emotion in his songs. Listen to "Rubina" from the Time Machine album. Great ballad.

Honestly, there are many of the great players that I have heard that don't do at least SOMETHING for me. Shred just for the sake of shred, Michael Angelo Batio, Dragonforce, etc. are about the only ones I can't listen to at all.
