Lionheart mentionned Al Di Meola in a former post and he is also one of my friends favorites. Went on youtube and found this amazing video, since it is more recent, the camera and sound are better than other videos:

Hard to believe that nobody has posted an video of SRV... Here's a gem I found on youtube where he plays together with another great (and a canadian to boot) Jeff Healey. Healey's solo which starts around 1:15 is unreal and SRV's to follow is almost better.

Even harder to believe that both of these legends are gone, so young.

I'm sure they are jamming together right now with Robert Johnson, Dwayne Allman, Jerry Garcia, and all the other greats.

May they rest in peace

Enjoy!!!

Robert Randolph

For those of you who don't know this guy, he is THE FUTURE of the pedal-steel guitar. Hard to believe what he does with his hand and feet.

I have seen him several times in the last few years and he keeps getting better and better.

Terrible video, but great audio...

For me :

Steve Hackett - Fifth of Fifth (Genesis)

David Gilmour - Confortably Numb (Pink Floyd)

I still listen to Numb regularly and still go crazy with it. Just love it but maybe it goes with the whole song. This song is the one that played the most around the world according to RS magazine !

 

[Sol Tee Nutz]

For rock: Pearl Jam, Alive and Canada's Teenage Head, Infected. Not the best but worthy mentions.

 

[Sol Tee Nutz]

Also considered one of the best, Steve Lukather.
