I've never been able to connect with Freak Kitchen but I'm still a big fan of Mattias. he does a lot of charity work for kids though his guitar camps and loves to teach more than anything else. Art Metal was a Jonas Hellborg project. with the loss of Shawn Lane still weighing heavily on Jonas, this was a really huge deal for him and maybe an even bigger test for Mattias. there were two releases and both are outstanding IMO.Originally Posted by JKL2000

I dig Plini (that's his first name and what he goes by). Most of his music has been released digitally, but he did release a physical cd last year called "Handmade Cities." I hear Vai as his biggest influence.
Per Nilsson
Eric Gillette
Luke Machin
The Prog Corner
Kim Stenberg - Magic Pie
Rich Poston - Sonus Umbra
Also agree with Luke Maschin & Ben Levin.

Yes, Jimmy was in Jazz is Dead many years ago. I saw them with Jeff Pevar on guitar about ten years ago with T. Lavitz (rip)
I don't think they gig anymore.
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
I'll say this, along with some FZ recordings, just about my favorite dual guitar live recording is Cardiacs The Special Garage Concerts. Sir Kavus and Tim are just ridiculously tight and ferocious. They devour every stray fishy in the pond and then some. I know Tim is not "new" but this was the first time I had heard Kavus on anything (a 2003 recording, 2005 release). Also, if were going back to the 90's, its a crime not to mention "Random" Jon Poole. You try bouncing around like that with shorts on and playing that stuff.
I also think James MacGaw is a phenomenal player. (Magma)
Of course Keneally is not new to the neighborhood either, but man is he special.
Guthrie Govan-The Aristocrats
Prasanna-Tirtha,various projects
Norman Westberg-Swans,solo
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
Another vote for Julian Lage
To add to many good suggestions:
Angel Ontalva
Hedvig Mollestad
Raoul Bjorkenheim
Even Helte Hermansen
I agree. And the solo on the ER Trilogy DVD during Kohntarkosz is simply stunning. I have rarely ever seen a solo so ferocious toward the end. Just amazing- that solo starts out so tentative, but then just begins to build and build and then he completely loses his shit and if only I could have seen it live. Wow!I also think James MacGaw is a phenomenal player. (Magma)
His guitar so rarely ever sounds like a guitar, too, and his lines are so complicated. Look at the very end of Kohntarksosz on the DVD and see what he has to play as the song concludes.
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
Aram Bajakian-Kef,Dalava,There Were Flowers Also In Hell,Solo works
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
I'll throw another name in to this convo
Ali Neander
I really like his style
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
Alex Machacek, and great guy too.
John Czajkowski
so...... Plini and these other new kids all seem to know eachother!

On the Paganini side of the fence, one should mention the remarkable Marshall Harrison. Also Ron Thal and Shawn Lane maybe ?
In the vein of Paul Gilbert : Jason Richardson
imo, that heavy-handed style of playing, writing and production, currently in resurgence, became obsolete after 1990...
but I can appreciate the high standard of performance.
And now for something completely different...
Julien Desprez from Radiation 10
(be sure to check that excellent ensemble too)
and Kim Myhr. You can hear his delicate playing on the beautiful A nest at the junction of paths (2012) album by The New Songs, in the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra + Jenny Hval, and in the Mural ensemble.

I'm very fond of Orianthi, whom I first heard of when she was playing with Alice Cooper.
Of course the fact that she's. Um. Easy on the eye might slightly influence my judgment. But if Alice and MJ both approve, who can argue?
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Yeah, they seem to play on each other's records.
One name I did forget yesterday is Yvette Young, who plays solo and with her band Covet.
Lot's of great suggestions thus far, here are a few more;
Marc Guillermont
Let us not forget about Brett Garsed
Joe Chawki, very little known about Joe, he could be the next Shawn Lane, played in a progmetal band and has released a solo cd called Nazar.
Also:
Tohpati - from SimakDialog and solo and other works
Alek Darson - guest shredder for Fright Pig and solo
