Great find Dave !
I liked 'ol Wes and Yngwie the best from that clip, though I'm sure Paco, Tal and Segovia have much better playing to offer than that clip.
One thing that struck me right off was the POOR sounding distorted tones those guy's were getting, like Satch, Gilbert, and Batio. Yngwie, thank god, pulled out a nice distorted tone in that clip. Satch used to get a good distorted tone, but its been a while.
I'd have to put Randy Rhoads and EVH in there, especially since there were other 'rock' players in that mix. But really, there are some modern fusion guy's knowadays who are pretty much holding EVERY card. Flat pick, hybrid picked, finger style, distorted/clean, from here to eternity.
