You have great taste. It's reassuring to know that there is indeed hope for the future generation :)
Maycn Taylor is awesome, especially for how young she was. Her style and method of playing was unique, and that's to be admired.
Why thank you, and the only difference really between her then and now is (apart from increased guitar skills) she sings as well.
Now I'll pull out some of the heavier stuff from my collection, ha, and this epic dutch band.I won't bother posting Opeth, or Katatonia, but if you haven't heard of those two, they are very much worth your time!
Down From Up - Victim (the youtube idiot spelled it wrong)
Yeah they're a Christian band but they have an amazing guitarist. Also they get a mention for doing a 8 minute "Tour-of-Led-Zepp-Covers" song, which actually was pretty good.
Nightwish - Bye Bye Beautiful (the real band is actually playing the chorus, for those who miss the joke XD)
Novembre - Materia, an Italian band, cannot remember where I first heard them.
3 - My Divided Falling, another great band. I saw them when they opened for Porcupine Tree a few years ago
and Finally
That epic Dutch band (well they're not technically a band, but whatever)
Ayreon - The Sixth Extinction - 12 minutes, but soooo awesome.
Enjoy!
EDIT: Oh by they way, if you don't like the Ayreon track, at least stick around till the 3:35 mark, and you'll hear probably the most amazing pairing of death growling and clean female vocals I've ever heard.
EDIT AGAIN: My iTunes just shuffled to a Kaki King song, amazing guitarist as well, even if she is an angry lesbian.
Not to mention more great guitarists
- Alex De Grass
- Phil Keaggy
- Micheal Hedges... RIP
