Joe Satriani....

What is so accessible about Satch is that he structures his songs just like a regular pop song. He doesn't get overly crazy with the noodley noodley I'm a guitar player masturbating my instrument so all the newbie guitar players out there will think I'm the shit when I'm really only doing scales kinda thing...

Joe has great tone, and the ability to structure a damn fine catchy tune. Thus making him easily the most accessible guitar instrumentalist artist out there for the masses.

(and yeah I like listening to him too. :) )
 
They wouldn't get the shaft if they had better PR people, and a label that was more behind them... :) Then the masses would hear about them more, and their skills could shine through a bit more. :)

P.S. I don't play guitar, and I don't know who those people are... and I REALLLLLLLLLLY suck at remembering names, so I might know who they are and not know their names... sorry... I suck. :(
 
lol@Hammett being one of the top 5

He had some decent solos... but in general he's just another guitarist...

Also.. regarding Satch.. I don't care for him or any other guitar virtuoso out there.. the format of those songs really don't move me in any way so...
