I have to put in my often-repeated plug for Ty Tabor of King's X. Such an underrated band! Two awesome live examples:

Dogman on The Dennis Miller Show:

We Were Born To Be Loved:
Note his usage of "Hendrix chords" throughout. And the stop-time stuff at the end is sweet.

I'd highly recommend his duo work with Ella Fitzgerald. Less wankery has never been heard. Just wonderful interpretations of songs.
There are 3 kinds of people:
Those who can do maths and those who can't.

There are two kinds of "there are n kinds of people" sigs on this page of the thread: the one that says there are 3 kinds and the one that says there are 102 kinds.

Let me say it again. HOLY CRAP! I've never even heard of this guy, and it's a shame. He's incredible, a total-package musician.

I think there are 2 kinds, as per my signature...some may think there are 3. What the heck is "maths"?? :hihi:

Maths is mathematics. Very "in" just now, don't you know. Even got a tee-shirt:

I don't think Greg Howe can be beat in the phrasing department! :wink:

Steve Hackett

Although most renowned for his shredding and utter control at blistering speeds i love Paul Gilbert and his phrasing, have done so since his Racer X days, He just recently released a new solo outing which is very good.

Marty Friedman is also superb in the Paul Gilbert way (but altogether so much different)

Mikael Akerfelt has some great phasing going on

Fredrick Thorendal has some very unique phrasing in his sparse but attention grabbing solo's

A player whom i dont like but think has some quality phrasing in his arsenal is John Frusciante of Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Solo artist fame.

my honesty :) and ditto to some of the already mentioned phaser's

appologizes if the spellings are a little out!

Frank Zappa, who warps time.
