Re: Recommend me guitar music
Some great players that immediately come to mind are:
Danny Gatton- the Humbler is my favorite album of his but Cruisin Deuces is also great.
Whitey Morgan and the 78's- all three albums have ripping honky Tonk guitar.
Steve Stevens- anything by him is great but I'm a big fan of his work with Billy Idol.
Jaco Pastorius- even though he plays bass, he did some cool stuff with Pat Metheny who is also a great jazz guitar player.
Graham Parker- He is a good rhythm player but his original band the Rumor was awesome and had this lead player named Brinsley Swartz. Howling Wind is an all time classic album.

Re: Recommend me guitar music
Thanks all of you for the great posts. I can't reply with quotes for god knows why.
@Nacho8807 - I listened to Meza's 'The Departure of a Soul'. Very Petrucci influenced playing. Haven't checked out Aaron Marshall and Micic yet. Haven't heard of Plini and Sergey Golovin either. Will give all these a listen today after I get back home.
@dd12939 - I am familiar with Metheny. But haven't managed to give him serious listen. His music is definitely 'acquired taste' material. Warren Haynes -- haven't listened anything by him and just started to listen to Trucks's playing. I have listened Steven Wilson and Brian Setzer but not extensively. Thanks for this. And I'm a big Jeff Beck fan.
@greekdude Thanks. Never knew any Balkan player. Glad to have found this.
@Falloffthebonetone I saw this video. Its really fun, thanks.
@trevorus I watched some Andy McKee's videos before. Thanks for this.
@ImmortalSix I love this guy. Never heard of Glen Kuykendall before. Thanks
I will reply to the rest later. Thanks again.

Re: Recommend me guitar music
I think just about every guitarist has something to offer from a learning perspective, even if it's, "Don't be like THAT guy!" LOL!
One of my favorite guitarists is Buzz Feiten. Check out his work on keyboardist Neil Larsen's albums "Jungle Fever", "High Gear", "Orbit" and the Larsen-Feiten Band.
George Benson is another one. You can go back to his early records, but I would start with "Breezin" and "Weekend In LA". And don't let your ears stop at the Benson solos--it's worth listening deep to hear rhythm guitarist Phil Upchurch's contributions.
Just saw an article about the guitar style of Mick Ralphs of Bad Company. A very under-rated guitarist in my opinion. The top of my under-rated list also includes Stephen Stills, Terry Kath of Chicago, Nile Rodgers of Chic, Roger Fisher of Heart, Davey Johnston with Elton John, and Robbie Robertson of The Band. Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac is another one--I love his music, but his style of playing absolutely mystifies me--I have no idea how he does what he does. You typically don't hear these names mentioned with Clapton, Beck, Hendrix, Vaughan and Santana, but they are all great players.
There's some acoustic guys that should be mentioned, too. Jim Croce's guitarist Maury Mulheisen; and Gordon Lightfoot guitarists Red Shea and Terry Clements. Masterful, tasteful players--no, not the "STAR", but they knew how make "THE STAR" sound great and to play to make the music come alive.
And of course, most of the rock guitarists of the '60s and '70s learned from the old blues records of people like Muddy Waters, BB King, Albert King, Freddie King, Son House, Fred McDowell, Broonzy, Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, et. al.

Re: Recommend me guitar music
Guns 'N Roses - Appetite for Destruction. Get a set of headphones, listen to it and just soak in what the guitars are doing. The way Izzy and Slash play together on that record is some of the best 2 guitar playing in rock. There's real separation between their tracks that sounds so great. It's very much like Aerosmith, which is some other guitar music to check out. Get Rocks, Toys in the Attic, Pump to start. Great stuff.
If you like instrumental guitar music, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert are near the top of my list.
Let's not forget Jimi Hendrix.
There's so much out there. I still listen to a lot that I grew up with; Motley Crue, Ratt, Ozzy, Badlands (Jake E. Lee), George Lynch, Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, ZZ Top, etc.

I haven't listened to a lot of Buckethead but would love to listen. I like Paul Gilbert. I loved his last album Stone Pushing Uphill Man. The album is fabulous I think. I've been listening to it since it came out. Thanks for the reply.

+1,000,000 on Motley Crue, Mick Mars is great. Also, check out John 5's (ex Manson guitarist and now Zombie's guitarist) solo stuff, it's insane
