Now there's another great guitar player Steve Vai.
Diamond Dave found him.

I like him playing with Dave, but I kinda find his solo stuff a little boring......He was awesome in The Crossroads though. There's a movie that should be remade. It'd be so much better without Ralph Macchio.

Actually, Frank Zappa found Vai first.

The opening "hook", if you will, on Gimme Shelter is one of my all-time favorites.

For me it's "can you hear me knocking" honkey tonk woman and brown sugar. If you listen closely to the opening of brown sugar the rhythm shifts slightly each guitar riff. It's subtle but that's what makes it so great

Neal Schon from Journey played with Santana when he was young.
Achilles posted some great ones I forgot about.
Jimmy Page,Richie Blackmore and Nugent.
Can't believe I forgot the Motor City madman!
Ace Frehley was good till booze and drugs stunted his growth.

Another unique sound that I forgot is Angus Young.
AC/DC is still rocking today.
How about Slash?
You can tell I grew up in the 70s and 80s,huh?

There are sooo many that are great and I'd have a hard time choosing, but I guess I'd probably go with Joe Satriani.
About a minute and 9 seconds into this one (but the whole song is good):

All this and not a single reference to Stevie Ray Vaughn, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, or Joe Bonamassa.
FAIL.
The first instrument played in this is a nyckelharpa.

SRV was mentioned more than once. There's even a video.

Underrated? Not in the least.
He is a tremendous player and puts most of the players mentioned above to shame. Its just unfair how good that man is.

O don't I feel bad about missing some of these, Lynch took Randy's teaching spot at Musonia after Randy left for Ozzy, tremendous player.
Vito was another favorite, the last thing I read about him was that he {apparently} has given up playing and had some problems. Shame.
