    What would you call what Buckethead is doing at the 4:00 mark?

    I appreciate a lot of different styles. But, as a musician, I appreciate what Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel can do more than anything. It's mind blowing. Oh, and this guy too.

    Not to be too obscene, but it looks like that guy has a hole cut into the back of that guitar if you know what I mean. The facial expression, the rocking.... I don't know about that guy...

    Yeah, that's pretty cool.

    Hears a question, if you are a guitar play what do you play guitar, amp, etc.

    Personally I'm a Telecaster man, Fender amp, Taylor acoustic, elixer strings.

    Gibson Les Paul (humbuckers) and Mesa Boogie amp (which reminds me, I really need to get my reverb fixed).

    I think Jeff Beck could have been on that list as well.

    Re: Best Guitarist

    As long as we're bragging about setups. I use a original late-60's Fender Super Reverb (golden grille) with a modern Tex-Mex Fender Strat.

    I also play a Washburn 12 string a/e.
    Fender Princeton Plus amp for carrying around.

    Only wish I had time to get better playing them.

    I'm not a big Led Zeppelin fan, but I have a new found respect for Jimmy Page since I've been trying to learn the instrument.

    Check out the "Over the Hills and Far Away" and imagine some stoned punk writing this in his 20's (it's the devil I tell you):
