Mark Tremonti is by far my fav guitar player. I would include him as a metal guitarist because he plays that style.

Not really. More like post-grunge.
I can see what you are saying though, as he does solo a lot more than most guitarists of this style.

Mark is a metalhead first is what Im saying. If you listen to his riffs they are metal inspired and very technical. As for his solos they are def of the metal shred side with tons of amazing note choices. Not one solo of his isnt memorable.

Yet another thread I had planned to make a while back but never got to it. There are some that have yet to be mentioned here among others:
Danny Chauncey (.38 Special) Kerry Livgren Rich Williams (Kansas/Native Window) Steve Lukather (Toto) Alan Morse (Spock's Beard-who else plays lead without a pick?) Neal Morse Rick Derringer (among others he played for Weird Al occasionally and also did the theme songs for Hulk Hogan and Demolition) Jim West (Weird Al) Bill Champlin (Chicago) John Fogerty Terry Taylor (Lost Dogs/Daniel Amos) Derri Daugherty (Lost Dogs/The Choir) Michael Roe (Lost Dogs/77's) Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) Davey Johnstone (Elton John) Nancy Wilson (Heart) Dave Bainbridge (Iona) Justin Hayward (Moody Blues) Frank Usher (Fish) Andrew Horrocks (One Hundred Days-sad that I'm one of the few people on Earth who knows this band) Bob Hartman (Petra) Andy Summers (The Police) Edge (U2) Gary Richrath (REO Speedwagon) Per Gessle (Roxette-the pop rock stuff not later material)
And I saved the best (IMO) for last:
Steve Rothery (Marillion-no other guitarist plays with the emotion and passion this guy does IMO).

Tony Clarkin - well he's not the best guitarist in the world but he's a good songwriter and well I just like him and the band.

I don't always like Santana's solo music but there's certainly no mistaking his signature sound.

I realize Santana is talented, but for some reason I never could quite get into his music.
Give me Steve Vai or Joe Satriani any day over him.

I'm a sucker for a Latin rhythm and I generally find blues music boring so maybe that explains it. I find Vai and his like to be extremely repetitive; all the solos sound the same to me. That funky Latin vibe to Santana's solos make them stand out to my ears.
All those guys can play though.

I thought of him also.
I've always been impressed with the way Zac Hanson plays guitar, as he comes to mind as well.
