While fast can be cool, quality is king. My list:

Roy Buchannon
Jimi Hendrix
Toy Caldwell
Ry Cooder
Gary Hoey
Ralph Macchio (Ha! Just kidding. I'm sure some of you got that one.)


Some more good ones (just not my personal favorites):
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
Stevie Ray Vaughan

what Ralph didn't really play his own shite in that movie?? ;)))

there are some amazingly fast guitar players in bluegrass and rockabilly too...

I went and saw Brian Setzer a couple months ago and he can play fast as hell....his solos were amazing...I almost left a wet spot in the chair.....
